About
Originally used to describe the front line of an advancing army, the term avant-garde is now applied to any group that represents the innovative and those who are ahead of the majority.
With this core philosophy, Avant Garde Wheels pushes the boundaries beyond what is accepted as the status quo in the wheel industry as a manufacturer of superior quality wheels with performance driven engineering in mind. Realizing that even the best looking wheel can be ruined with improper sizing, the company makes its wheels with proper fitments from the beginning. Avant Garde is passionate not only about the quality of the wheels, but how they are going to look on your vehicle.
Unparalleled Quality
In order to maintain the highest quality possible, Avant Garde utilizes the latest in computer aided engineering and testing when it comes to the creation of all of its wheels. By utilizing Finite Element Analysis (FEA), the company is able to perform detailed testing methods which ensure the strength and durability of the wheels. FEA allows for detailed visualizations of where a wheel can bend or twist and indicates the distribution of stresses and displacements. This allows for entire designs to be constructed, refined, and optimized before any manufacturing occurs.
To ensure Avant Garde never compromises on quality, each of its designs complies with the stringent testing of the industry recognized JWL standard. For detection of even the most minute flaws, Avant Garde wheels are put under pressure in a specially designed water tank and scanned for hidden flaws by X-ray. This entire process ensures the manufacturer provides the highest quality product to its customers.
Exceptional Fit
As a result of the company’s unique manufacturing abilities, Avant Garde is able to produce vehicle specific fitments designed to fit each application as aggressively as possible without compromising on style. Every Avant Garde wheel is produced with specific vehicles in mind in order to cater to the various niche markets from around the industry. Aggressive, yet functional fitment is the manufacturer’s goal in order to make each of its wheels look as attractive as possible on its customer’s vehicle.
Driven By Passion
With over 40 years of experience in the automotive wheel industry, Avant Garde understands the level of attention to detail that should be required from everyone in this industry. Unfortunately, not all companies are fortunate enough to be managed and run by fellow automotive enthusiasts. Thankfully, the company’s passion for engineering the utmost quality wheels can easily be recognized through the quality and finish of all of its products. Avant Garde is the company that is fueled by enthusiasts driven by passion.
