Damn brother, honestly sounds like that wheel company fucked you over. First they were delayed and then, even with the extra time, they fucked the measurements up. I'm sorry that happened to you bro, now you gotta go and rework the whole body and get a whole separate set of tires on their fuck up. Good luck to you
He wanted all the problems. He was probably like "more content for the Bros". What he should do is actually build cars properly (what 90 percent of REAL car guys want to see) for "content". I honestly don't know why I still watch him.

As AvantGarde states on someone else's comment the reason TJ's wheel order was wrong was because TJ asked a metal friend for the order who then contacted AvantGarde. That was where the communication breakdown occurred. That's why it's always better to go directly to the company cause then theirs no risk of anything going wrong. Sucks that they came out wrong but apparently they're in contact still.
AG is finishing up a set of 21s for me as we speak, I went and visited their buildhouse yesterday to see the process and the final assembly of mine. Mine ended up behind schedule as well and took 9 weeks total, but I've been working with them direct and believe me they have been top notch. Sometimes they have been a little backed up, but they have really hustled to make it all right. I took some video of my tour of their warehouse that I'll post up to my channel if you guys are interested

Do not be discouraged, Dat is da craziest BRZ out with those wheels, I think it aint bad dat u got da 19s instead of da 18s. Cant wait to see it moving & turning.
Jack Read yeah I'd be pissed. I waited 5 days for my wheels. Sure they cost less, but they look hella good and are literally the same size (19x9.5 front with 22mm offset and 19x11 rear)

AvantGardeWheels I mean I guess things happen but u have to see it from the viewers side cause we haven't seen this car that most of u subscribed for on the road in months and now it isn't a perfect as we expected
Dude don't let it get you down man I know it's annoying when it doesn't work but look how far you and that car have come man! I remember watching the white brz and you going nuts over the OEM type subwoofer! That BRZ is the nicest thing out there I love it! Best BRZ around! Keep it up man
BlackMarket Car Culture, one of our mutual friends referred TJ over to our company when he was looking at his next set of wheels. We understand there was a miscommunication when we were building the wheels, but we're not looking to place blame on TJ or the friend we were working with. We should have confirmed directly with TJ regarding his specs, but what's done is done at this point. As we've said multiple times, we're more than happy to continue working with TJ to get this resolved.
AvantGardeWheels honestly the miscommunication probably did him a favor. 19s needed to be on that car. 18s would have been too small for that huge ass wheel well. But I'd like to see how this plays out. Honestly feel bad for you guys if this is the case bc he is making you guys look bad af. Hope he clarity's in he next Video.
dude those wheels just made that whole car. definitely worth the buy. all the little hiccups you're running into are normal. we all go through them with modding cars. good luck teege
What was the measurements suppose to be with the 18 inch tires? How do they measure differently from the 19 inch? Can you explain with all the off set and measurements differ?
I think the car looks insane. I don't know how you can act so respectful towards the wheel company after they botched your request and made you wait so long.

Proud Problem, good looking out, and thanks for reposting our response. TJ has been working directly with us, and we will make sure everything is taken care of in the end. We did not pay him to run our wheels which means he is free to have whatever opinion he wants on our product. However, it doesn't matter if you're a retail customers or a sponsored build, we always want to make sure anyone running our wheels is taken care of in the end. A happy customer is always the most important.
If you're staying with the Toyo R888's, Tire Rack has a few 265/30-19's left on closeout. They're exactly 1" smaller in diameter, but still not sure if this would work.
Good thing the middle person "messed" up. Atleast the width of the rims fits way better, when you have a widebody and bags you should have really wide rims. The rubbing issues are just because of the huge tires. Get lower profile and maybe width in the front and it will be all good. Also you can lower the offset at the front by removing some mm off the hub
really want to know how ag messed this up. Did the 8 look like a 9 on the form, did somebody else fill out of the form for Tj or is it plain and simple ag's fault. It's important to know the reason why the wheels came like this before trashing ag. Miscommunication is just a general non specified answer.
Matt Zertuche, We have some long responses written out in a few other comments, but long story short, the order was referred to us through a mutual friend. TJ submitted his order fully expecting them to come back in the specs he thought he was getting. We manufactured his order fully expecting the specs we received on the order form to be the ones he wanted. Unfortunately, we should have communicated better with TJ, but again, at this point we're just looking to get this taken care of for TJ ASAP. Thanks for taking the time to be reasonable, and we're looking forward to getting this taken care of for TJ ASAP. Mistakes/miscommunications can happen from time to time, but how it's taken care of shows the true character of a company.
Awesome! I have heard of your business before this video and you guys are awesome so to hear all this negiativty is surprising. Thank you for responding and hopefully everybody reads your reply! Keep up the great products!
Matt Zertuche, the negativity is honestly understandable. TJ's word is gospel around these parts, and we're an easy target. We've been talking to him directly, and it's easy to see that he's just a guy that's passionate about his builds. We can't fault him for how he's been feeling with these difficulties. All we've asked from him is to give us a chance to help him make things right for the misunderstandings. Thanks again for taking the time to hear us out! Hope you have a good weekend.
OMG!! I honestly wasnt a fan of the wide body before you got your wheels, but I now completely regret that! This looks so damnnnnnn good. Congrats TJ, Miley lookin good
If you get these wheels to work flawlessly with this car, it will officially be the sexiest BRZ, PERIOD. I absolutely love everything about this build except I would get white wheels
damn, they should have just given him a discount directly...almost half a million views of bad publicity in just a week for a niche market of motivated potential current/future buyers has gotta be bad for any company aye
That style of wheel is very common they look like the verde insignia 10/10 it would be cheaper and faster to get those The only difference is that he'd have to go in and DIY the gold hard ware but other than that it's the same shit lol
Damn Tj, I haven't watched one of your videos since like you were at your dads garage working on a red BRZ, you've come a long way buddy, you go champ ! 💪🏽❤️
So does AG just not have their shit together? This doesn't seem like it's been a positive experience all around. Props to you for not badmouthing them, but good lord man, were they drunk for several months?
Brian Groth Have you not read their response? TJ didn't order through them directly. The person he ordered through screwed the order form, so AG finished the wheels perfectly to the order form. TJ screwed himself.
Regardless of what happened, we're still happy to work with TJ directly to get this resolved ASAP. He is not at fault here, but in the end, we want him to be happy with the products that he purchased. We'd rather lose money on a happy customer than make a quick buck for a one time sale.
AvantGardeWheels I finally found the response. Holy bummer of a situation, I get it though, a third party can complicate things. So cool though that you guys went above and beyond to do this for TJ. I think it's up to him to clear the air a bit, after reading what happened, there's no reason you guys should have to suffer everyone trashing you. In any case, the wheels are incredible! 👍👍👍
Brian Groth, We appreciate you taking the time to hear us out. We are definitely going to keep working with TJ to make sure this is handled. He is not at fault here either; it's just unfortunate how everything happened. Regardless, we've been in talks with TJ to make sure he knows we're here to help. There's no ill will here.
You could also get skinny tyres? Like low profile tyres. Stretch the tyres to the max. It helped with my car. Just a suggestion. Love the rims and car looks sexy.😊

Can't believe they wouldn't call TJ directly to confirm the dimensions though... regardless of the sizing issue, the amount of time it took them to make the wheels is ridiculous.
As much as it sucks that the wheels came in wrong due to the miscommunication, I am glad to see that Avant Garde is in here trying to clarify the issue at hand. Not a lot of companies do that now and I am glad to see that someone is. I would love to have AG Wheels on my car one day, and because of their display here, I will likely buy from them in the future once finances allow. Other companies take note.
Also...I think those wheels ended up better than what you had originally wanted, even if just by chance...might take a ton of fitment work, but I don't know...half way through the video and you just got the wheels on...and it looks nearly perfect from where I can see...19's are gonna look sick!
WOKE R2 I still don't like them...I think chrome BBs would like better. That's just me though, because I think BBS look good on everything except for supercars or whatever.
HispanicCausinPanic yeah i agree, some bbs wouldve been so much better and im pretty surr they would've arrived so much better and also be the correct size
You have the sexiest brz out there by far
Adam Theiss i've seen better
Adam Theiss I've seen way better
Adam Theiss it's mad for sure, but last cars and coffee there was a cleaner one. And the wheels were setup perfectly 😂
The280zkid I agree with you lol

Clean AF brake upgrade bro those wheels make your brakes look anemic
Frank Sepulveda exactly needs a big brake kit so bad
Personally if I would have spent over $10,000 on wheels I would hope the dimensions would have been double checked.
Back in my day Tj hunt just ordered his rims
Miles Johnson 😂
Damn brother, honestly sounds like that wheel company fucked you over. First they were delayed and then, even with the extra time, they fucked the measurements up. I'm sorry that happened to you bro, now you gotta go and rework the whole body and get a whole separate set of tires on their fuck up. Good luck to you

Cooper Johnson it's tj fault for not measuring correctly
Lazy Boi he asked for 18inch rims and they gave him 19s how's that fault
Unco Casey read there response. holy shit
Cooper Johnson I would return the rims cause that is annoying getting the wrong wheel size
Cooper Johnson he got them for free
Tj the type of guy too drop his pants all they way down at the urinal
LMFAO
TJ the type of guy to lean back against the door and sigh after getting back from a date.

You got a problem with that
wait thats not how you pee at a urinal huh
Still getting oldies recommended and it is insane on how much you and the company has grown
Shit looks so clean but don't ever do business with AG again lol not worth it
I may of skipped ahead to see what they were as I couldn't wait any longer!!
I did toov
Sammmme 😂
have you tried more negative camber? that could help clear the front when turned.
AG needs to make this right. They fucked up
Marcus Moeller No they didn't - TJ didn't even order through them directly. He screwed himself.

I think the car looks insane. I don't know how you can act so respectful towards the wheel company after they botched your request and made you wait so long.
The figment in the back is great. If you have to get new wheels, only get them for the front.
the wheels look amazing :) miley looks great tj
You should be more pissed at the company
Faall he's probs getting payed by the company or at the very least got free wheels
I don't think he got any discount from AG

Pristine Auto Detailing thought I was the only one who noticed😂
JaQuan Scott lol. Nope!
Pristine Auto Detailing lol yep.
I honestly wasn't feeling the BRZ since you went widebody but now that the wheels are on this looks sick AF.
really want to know how ag messed this up. Did the 8 look like a 9 on the form, did somebody else fill out of the form for Tj or is it plain and simple ag's fault. It's important to know the reason why the wheels came like this before trashing ag. Miscommunication is just a general non specified answer.
Matt Zertuche, We have some long responses written out in a few other comments, but long story short, the order was referred to us through a mutual friend. TJ submitted his order fully expecting them to come back in the specs he thought he was getting. We manufactured his order fully expecting the specs we received on the order form to be the ones he wanted. Unfortunately, we should have communicated better with TJ, but again, at this point we're just looking to get this taken care of for TJ ASAP.
Thanks for taking the time to be reasonable, and we're looking forward to getting this taken care of for TJ ASAP. Mistakes/miscommunications can happen from time to time, but how it's taken care of shows the true character of a company.
Awesome! I have heard of your business before this video and you guys are awesome so to hear all this negiativty is surprising. Thank you for responding and hopefully everybody reads your reply! Keep up the great products!
Matt Zertuche, the negativity is honestly understandable. TJ's word is gospel around these parts, and we're an easy target. We've been talking to him directly, and it's easy to see that he's just a guy that's passionate about his builds. We can't fault him for how he's been feeling with these difficulties. All we've asked from him is to give us a chance to help him make things right for the misunderstandings. Thanks again for taking the time to hear us out! Hope you have a good weekend.
AvantGardeWheels Hopefully all ends up well! These wheels were engineered beautifully. You have a great weekend as well.
White tire letters are much needed
you gotta be 50+ to rep white letter out
Chris Pascual 50+ what?
side wall height, but im sure theres smaller letters/a company that would be more than willing to make a smaller lettering for TJ aha
I second that
They are not, that would just start making the car Ricey. Its nice to just keep a clean car, he doesnt need anymore flash that that rocket bunny
OMG!! I honestly wasnt a fan of the wide body before you got your wheels, but I now completely regret that! This looks so damnnnnnn good. Congrats TJ, Miley lookin good
oh my god i am in love with the car now shout out to tj's great idea
Snapchat fam wya ?‼️‼️

Those wheels were so worth the wait! the BRZ looks amazing!
When the camera man is too close for the shot but you don't wanna break your character to tell them to move so you rip a fat one.
Tj just farted in front of his girl.... things are getting pretty serious 💍
Miggy Guerrero A couple vlogs ago she ripped one also. Definitely a sign of being comfortable around each other.
looks good teeg, now the BRZ needs a big brake kit to make up for those big rims & tires. keep it up, love watching your videos
Ayyyyyy snap squadddddd
Wow avant garde made you have to do so much extra
TJ, Do the wheels not have a built in spacer at the lug nuts? there seems to be a lot of metal around the lugs
Had to like before watching ❤️
Tj when are you going to more car shows again
Sam Verner vlogs subie ones 👍🏻
If you get these wheels to work flawlessly with this car, it will officially be the sexiest BRZ, PERIOD. I absolutely love everything about this build except I would get white wheels
Shit I was consider buying from this company but now I'm reconsidering it.
chanhuor not AGs fault TJ didn't order it from the he ordered it via a 3rd party
chanhuor it was a middleman purchase that's why it was shit
CreepingWolf925 why would he do that
SoSickWidit to get it cheaper
damn, they should have just given him a discount directly...almost half a million views of bad publicity in just a week for a niche market of motivated potential current/future buyers has gotta be bad for any company aye
Snap squaaaad
not going to lie, I was never a fan of the brz and all the remodels. but with the widebody and the meat on I actually love it.
Instead of cutting the car get new fucking wheels that actually fit lol
There custom.. It would take another 3 months
TheV1ctr why it's not his fault they got the wrong size
That style of wheel is very common they look like the verde insignia
10/10 it would be cheaper and faster to get those
The only difference is that he'd have to go in and DIY the gold hard ware but other than that it's the same shit lol
I liked the old BRZ way more
Landon Siirila he should've kept the sparkle red , would've looked so good with the widebody
Ikr
Landon Siirila it was pretty clean but this looks so much better
Damn Tj, I haven't watched one of your videos since like you were at your dads garage working on a red BRZ, you've come a long way buddy, you go champ ! 💪🏽❤️
Fuck me I want that car!!
So does AG just not have their shit together? This doesn't seem like it's been a positive experience all around. Props to you for not badmouthing them, but good lord man, were they drunk for several months?
Brian Groth Have you not read their response? TJ didn't order through them directly. The person he ordered through screwed the order form, so AG finished the wheels perfectly to the order form. TJ screwed himself.
Regardless of what happened, we're still happy to work with TJ directly to get this resolved ASAP. He is not at fault here, but in the end, we want him to be happy with the products that he purchased. We'd rather lose money on a happy customer than make a quick buck for a one time sale.
AvantGardeWheels I finally found the response. Holy bummer of a situation, I get it though, a third party can complicate things. So cool though that you guys went above and beyond to do this for TJ. I think it's up to him to clear the air a bit, after reading what happened, there's no reason you guys should have to suffer everyone trashing you.
In any case, the wheels are incredible! 👍👍👍
Brian Groth, We appreciate you taking the time to hear us out. We are definitely going to keep working with TJ to make sure this is handled. He is not at fault here either; it's just unfortunate how everything happened. Regardless, we've been in talks with TJ to make sure he knows we're here to help. There's no ill will here.
You could also get skinny tyres? Like low profile tyres. Stretch the tyres to the max. It helped with my car. Just a suggestion. Love the rims and car looks sexy.😊
So much meat
Pretty sure im not gonna order any of AG wheels anytime soon. They took way to long and gave you wrong dimensions. Horrible service
Jose Mendoza Have you not read their response?
What'd they say?
One_More_Wolf Read their response under the top comments talking about them fucking up. They clarify it.
"Trying not to sound like a broken record here, but we'd like to respond to everyone's concerns.
To clarify what happened, TJ ordered his wheels through a mutual friend of ours. As he mentioned, there was a miscommunication, and TJ's order form that we received was filled out by our mutual friend for the 19" setup you see here. We engineer and machine the wheels here which means that all wheels are built exactly to the specs we see on the order form. This is not TJ's fault in any way as we believed these were the specs he wanted.
With custom machined 3-piece wheels, our production time is typically 4-6 weeks. However, in TJ's case, we had to engineer a new profile specifically for his build to get as deep of a concavity as possible without sacrificing any lip size. As you can see in the video, we wanted to make the wheels look as aggressive as possible.
Regardless, we have been talking directly with TJ to get this worked out. In the end, it's best to have direct communication to make sure we're all on the same page. We're happy to continue working with him directly as we always stand behind our products and service." - AvantGardeWheels
Can't believe they wouldn't call TJ directly to confirm the dimensions though... regardless of the sizing issue, the amount of time it took them to make the wheels is ridiculous.
As much as it sucks that the wheels came in wrong due to the miscommunication, I am glad to see that Avant Garde is in here trying to clarify the issue at hand. Not a lot of companies do that now and I am glad to see that someone is. I would love to have AG Wheels on my car one day, and because of their display here, I will likely buy from them in the future once finances allow. Other companies take note.
if they messed your order they should take them back and redo it to the size you ordered them.
damn sexiest car that's my dream car now 😍
Good luck TJ, hope it all works out. The wheels looks amazing!
Well I know who I'm never ordering wheels from lmao
Anthony Delgadillo read avgs response comment it was tjs fault
Just get a better wheels set up why hack it up ? Seriously 😒
Also...I think those wheels ended up better than what you had originally wanted, even if just by chance...might take a ton of fitment work, but I don't know...half way through the video and you just got the wheels on...and it looks nearly perfect from where I can see...19's are gonna look sick!
Way way too much work for a set of wheels.
that's what happens when you don't do shit properly lmao
fedral makes shit tires
looks so good bro! can't wait to see it in person soon...
Next up v8 engine swap and you'll be considered at god😫
Alexis Marquez 6 rotor swap
diesel swap
2 stroke swap
Tesla electric motor swap
bag swap
2 and a half months for the wrong sized wheels not the best advertisement for the company 😂
nice wheel teej, when are you planning on doing a big brake upgrade to compensate the bhp gains?
those wheels were not worth the wait tbh. they're really nothing special
finished the vid, looks good at the end
WOKE R2 lol
WOKE R2 I still don't like them...I think chrome BBs would like better. That's just me though, because I think BBS look good on everything except for supercars or whatever.
HispanicCausinPanic yeah i agree, some bbs wouldve been so much better and im pretty surr they would've arrived so much better and also be the correct size
the front tires should be stretch more. since its a 19x10 try 245/30 or 235/30. im running 225/35 on a 19x9.5 cuz i had the same issue
Teeg, you need to use a torque stick with your airtools when putting your lugs on, you'll over tighten them.
Sick, good looking bro! few small cuts and a little rewrap you'll be fine! What are you going to do about the air flow holes on the side skirts?
Yo TJ be careful putting on the lugs with the impact , warped rotors are a issue because of that ! Love the brz looks insane !
why wouldnt ' you send them back in and get the size you wanted? whats ur opinion on this
a brz well done.....one of the most beautiful brzs i have ever seen.....good job tj😁
I thought something like work equip 03s would look good but dayym those black wheels are dope AF with all the carbon and stuff
The wheels look super nice on brz!! black and gold combo was a great choice👌
This actually looks ridiculously good, way better than I imagined
