VMR wheels. Anyone got these?

[Dawnskaybug]

VMR are reps and they are sold as other brands also I think Advante is one and Radarwerks is another.

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

I actual fact, they sit fully square...the rim protector is next to useless. I certainly wouldn't rely on it to stop the edge of the rim from getting clunked, but they sit square with the edge of the treadblocks.



Personally, I wouldn't fancy anything wider (tyre wise) as it'll kill the feel, so i'll have to live with little by way of rim protection.

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!

grebow, Thanks for the pic and the wheels really nice on you car.   

If you don't mind me asking how much did you pay for these and where did you get them from?

Thanks maw73

I wanted VMR wheels for mine but I had no joy getting an answer from VMR in America.

I ended up going for BBS CH Black Editions.

I had BBS LM replicas on before and they were terrible. The lacquer started to come off after a few weeks and they are so soft.

Yeh I'm put off buying replica's to be honest.

The BBS CH's are my first choice & second choice would be the VMR 710's. Third choice matt black Detroits. If you get a chance can you post a pic of your car with the BBB's Did you go for 19's or 18's and how much did you pay for them if you don't mind me asking?

For 18" BBS CH Black editions I've been quoted £1301.00 for wheels only and £1745.00 with Continental Sport Contact 3 tyres (By Rimstyle).

Crazy money really. I still love my Monza's shadows but fancy a change of boots.

I fancy them with winter tyres, I'd still keep the Monza's for summer.

The quality is good on the VMRs i havent heard anyone complaining about them. They arent cheap chinese knock offs.

Thats my thoughts behind it.......... a bit of a change and a decent winter wheel (expensive though).

I gave my car a good clean last night and when I step back and see the gleaming Monza's I honestly think always think theres no better wheel. Thats I guess until you kerb one, which in six months I haven't managed yet (God that's a kiss of death).

Yeh from looking at them on the net I can't see anything wrong with them and they aren't exactly cheap to buy.

got them from niche conversions and paid £1,099 for the set.

Not very good customer service from niche though im afraid.

I originally ordered them and paid in full and was told that they would be here the next friday. Got no call on the friday so rang on the next monday, was told that they had missed the shipment and would be on this weeks shipment which would come on friday. Again, no call on friday, rang again monday and was told that they would be here wednesday!! they said they were sorry and they would pick them up and deliver them in person as soon as they landed, i said that if i didnt have them on thursday to cancel my order and refund me my money. No call wed or thurs. Friday mornig they turned up on a courier!!!!  Dealing with them was a terrible experience, no contact or customer help at all, i would definitely not deal with them again. Sometimes it makes me wonder how these people stay in business!!
