VMR wheels. Anyone got these?
« on: 01 July 2010, 14:12 »
Been looking at the VMR wheels on the Niche website, as link below.

Gorgeous wheels in my opinion...... and well priced. Especially compared to the BBS ones.  Has anyone got a set of these wheels? If so what style and size did you go for.

Thanks in advance.

they seem very expensive for what are essentially replica wheels

there is quite a markup compared to what they go for in the states

Those VMR V710 look tasty.

Careful on widths and offsets, 8.5" rims would be a bit 'sticky outy'

ET52 fit perfectly, and as long as you stick to 225 wide tyres, won't rub, even on full lock when lowered.

19 inch. 225/35 19 tyres do not rub at all.

alloy on the wheels is very soft. dropped my socket when changing it from my breaker bar to my torque wrench and it bounced off my knee and onto one of the spokes. chipped the paint and dented the alloy!

225 tyres on 8.5" rims? That'll give a lot of tyre stretch.
