Today's update is about TPMS valve stems!

Many of our customers who pick up a set of Gunmetal or Black wheels want the entire setup to match, unfortunately almost all TPMS sensors come standard with silver valve stems.

This is no longer a problem as we just picked up Black and Gunmetal TPMS valve stems to use as full replacements for the standard silver ones!
This is a $50 upgrade that we have to purchase separately, so that we can offer it as an option on your wheel and tire package.

These are FULL metal replacement valve stems, that are anodized black and gunmetal.

Standard silver shown on left, Gunmetal in the middle, and black on the right.

Let me know if you are interested in a set for your next set of wheels!

Best comparison I have is the Stainless vs Gloss Clear here:

Top right is Gloss Clear and Top Middle is Gloss Stainless

I was finally able to snap a nice photo that shows off the Bespoke 1 Matte Bronze Burst perfectly

Photos dont really do this finish justice, but I think this gets pretty close to showing how much metallic flake it has!

We just got most of our Bespoke Gloss and Matte Gunmetal orders back!
If you ordered a set, you'll probably see it in there

**Lnchbox** · 09-03-2014 08:31 PM

Can I get a price for a set of M590 19x9.5 in Level I gloss Gunmetal for a 2015 S5?

Sure thing, coming right up!

what is bespoke?

Bespoke essentially means "customized"
AG uses it to describe their wheels that feature a custom bolt pattern, custom offsets, and custom finishing

**GetYourWheels** · 09-05-2014 04:10 PM

Heres a set of F120s in full Gold Bullion and a Full Polish F210s in the rear

AG didnt want to sell it, but with enough persuasion we were able to make it happen!

Truly one of a kind!

Crossing my fingers for some great installed pictures

**yas** · 09-08-2014 05:13 PM

Wow. Beautiful. Makes me consider refinishing. ;)

**GetYourWheels** · 09-09-2014 04:34 PM

This has to be one of my favorite sets that has come out of AG so far!
F520 with Brushed Antique Copper Centers
The finish is awesome and the Z pulls them off perfectly.

That's like looking at liquid mercury. *WOW*

So, question: bespoke finishes is *what they do*. Why would they not want to sell it?

Its a very complicated process that takes many more steps any any one of their other finishes.
The finish also takes over 2 months to build, and costs significantly more than even a Bespoke 3 finish.

**Jimminez@Nemesis** · 09-10-2014 11:45 AM

Damn those look good. Can you guys get that finish done on non AG wheels?

**GetYourWheels** · 09-10-2014 11:58 AM

Sorry, I dont think AG would agree to do this to another brand

**GetYourWheels** · 09-10-2014 04:00 PM

Heres an S Class with AG F431 with Brush Polished Brilliant Gold Centers! 20x10 Spec 1 Concave F, 20x12 Spec 2 Long Leg Concave R

Now I'm quite interested in the process. I'd be interested if AG could share it with us…*it's not like other wheel makers could copy it exactly, and it would be great insight into how they're created for the enthusiast.

The Bespoke 3 finish isn't all that much of a cost upgrade when you take into account most folks here have a $65-85,000 car.

**blabanieh** · 09-11-2014 12:18 AM

@GetYourWheels - do you guys do any custom finish re-work? I have the AG 590's in Matte Dolphin Grey and looking to possibly get them re-done in a different finish/color??!!

From my limited understanding, the steps are as follows:
1. Drive the wheel to the sandblasters, strip the wheel
2. Drive the wheels to the platers, nickle plate the wheels.
3. Drive the wheels to the finishers, brush the wheels
4. Drive the wheel to the platers, black chrome the wheels
5. Drive the wheels to the finishers, brush the wheels
6. Drive the wheels to the painters, clearcoat the wheels
7. Bake, wet sand, polish the wheels, etc.

All in all it takes more than double the work compared to a Bespoke 3, twice as long to complete, and costs more than twice a Bespoke 3 finish. The wheels need to be driven from warehouse to warehouse between each step. So its a huge headache!

Still, when you take into account that if you brought a set of wheels to a wheel finisher yourself, and asked them to do a finish similar to a Bespoke 3, you'd probably get a $1000-1200+ quote for the work.
AG offers it at $650 for Bespoke 3, so you basically get a deep discount on refinishing work since AG does so much quantity.

AG doesnt offer refinishing on used wheels unfortunately, only on new orders. We usually recommend selling your current set and picking up a new set.

I most definitely will, I cant wait to see them installed!

**GetYourWheels** · 09-11-2014 03:03 PM

The first pic I got turned out amazing, so I wanted to share

Haha, agreed! I'm honestly blown away by many of these finishes, they should be considered art!
They're all hand brushed/polished/painted, so I basically see it as ordering art to showcase on your car

**GetYourWheels** · 09-12-2014 04:19 PM

Here is a Scirocco on Gloss Black M590s, I wish they would bring this car to the states!

Few more shots of the Q5:

Heres a set of Concept One CSL5.5s for a 370Z we refinished with Gloss Brushed Antique Copper centers and barrel!

I'm quite surprised AG doesn't have some of those facilities in-house considering the quantity they sell. That said, it's a great finish. Hats-off to the person who dreamed it up!
