Advice re Aftermarket Wheels Please

[PoshPaws51]

I am thinking of going Gloss Black wheels on the AW 1M for Summer. 359's are proving elusive at sensible money so I am thinking that maybe I'll go aftermarket.
I want to keep the 359 Design so exact replicas are what I want. Don't want to refinish my originals.

Any advice or pictures from those of you that have fitted aftermarket wheels is appreciated, I'm not looking to put anything low quality on the car but unsure of what makes to choose or avoid.

Thanks

The Avant Garde M359 has been popular with the M3 guys, and it comes in Matte Black. I've read good things, but I don't have any personal experience.

i have a set of gloss black apec arc-8's if your interested. almost looks like the 359, just a bit more "track-y"

Thanks guys. Avant Garde is my preference so far. ARC's have that large circular centre and are not what I'm looking for

Have a look at 19" BBS CH-R wheels too. For some pictures (black, silver or gunmetal):

Also worth considering: the APEX wheels of forum fellow gs/e60/1M? (aka 'His Royal Smurfness'):
