Ebay and amazon, i just bought from different sources and put it together. Look for reinforced silicone couplings and t-clamps. There is a lot of choices in colors and price. I got HPS and turbonetics clamps and some "no one knows" brand for the couplers but they are way better than what came with the intake. Another company that's good is godspeed performance. Anything that's reinforced will do. And with those clamps it doesn't chew through the rubber and applies more even pressure to avoid any leaks.

Got my new wheels. Avant Garde M510. All thanks go to Need4speed Motorsports (www.need4speedmotors.com/main.php) for making this happen. Amazing service and very knowledgeable people. This is the first time I trusted someone with the wheel finish choice and they just left me speechless. The color is dark silver and the actual finish is brushed aluminum coated in a tinted glossy clearcoat. I was not a fan of this wheel design at first, but when I saw it in person...Hit up NFS, their deals will surprise you!
Specs:
Widths 19x9.5, 19x11
Offsets: +30/+35
Finish: Brushed Grigio
Tires: 235/275
Here are the pics I snapped on the first day. An official photo session will be coming soon for this.

Wheels look great!
I'm thinking about going with the AG M590 in the brushed grigio. However, I have seen numerous wheels on Avant Garde's website that are brushed grigio, but none of them appear to be the same color. Your wheels seem to be much lighter in color, more like their brushed stainless. It's hard to choose the color because I'm not sure of what I'll actually get. ????
