I think I will enjoy the performance boost of the A/S 3's vs DWS, but I am not 100% certain on that either (doubt I will ever track the car). I also have 3 adult passengers in the car regularly since it is my all year daily commuter (absent huge snow storms). So while I love the VB3's, I think it might be safer (unless told otherwise) to go with a ET50 710's.

If you're planning on running a 255 rear tire, don't want to roll the fenders, take passengers often, and don't want any rubbing, ET50 rear is a more ideal size for you. I think the VB3s would rub in your case.

How does it look and does the wheel fit perfect or does the wheel stick out with the tire not fully sitting flush with the tire?

Worries just posted up his car with some V701s in the same sizing, with stock tires, so you can see for reference. The outer position of the wheel, and the way the tires fit on the wheel, will be the same between the V701 and V710.
