Yeah you're right, 245's in the back on that 1 series... The Yokohama AD08's which he has on, run about 10-15mm wider than your average tire, so going wider is an option if you went with another brand |

That is a CSL-styled wheel posted above. That rim is dangerously exposed. Why 245/35/19 on a 9.5" and not a proper 255/30/19 or 265/30/19?

I assume any wider with that specific tire would rub....buy why not a different tire? idk, maybe he's particular to that one

This is the CSL style wheel: I'm pretty sure what I sold my customer As for the "strange" tire size that you mention. The happy customer wanted to get Yokohama AD08's, a tire we love, on his 1 series, just like our 135i shop car as well. With our extensive knoweldge, we have figured out that the 245/35-19 is the best fit for this car. Quote:
And just for reference, as everybody should know on this forum. Stretching tires minimally like what was shown above, isn't an issue at all. I've stretched 235's all around on a 9.5" wheel (not as aggressive as the 1 series above), and ran on the track several times, and I'm not one in particular to go slow. I've had racing experience for the last several years, and I have had no issues with that stretched tire. Or if you're more concerned on the lip being more exposed because there is less tire protection from curbing, then I have an easy solution for you... Don't curb the wheels! |

The thread is about V710s or CS7s. I think you can find ways of selling your products other than smarty disqualifying the competition. I have several ways that I can also disqualify you. I chose, instead, to be discrete and professional about it. |

Gotta side w/ Jurrian on this one,...the Thread title does specifically say "V710's or Alufelgen CS7's".
With that said,...here's my take on it. I like to think of the V710's as the CSL's twisted cousin. If you want tried and true BMW styling,..then the Alufelgens are an excellent choice. If you like that styling, but want something a bit different from the norm,..then the V710s are the way to go. Both excellent wheels, so you really cant lose.

An E46 M3 with CSL wheels pulled up next to me at the lights last night and I caught the guy checking out my CSL's, which was an awesome feeling. I honestly couldn't tell much difference between his wheels and mine. We ended up racing afterwards too
I vote CSL but the V710 are very nice too, you can't go wrong with either for looks IMHO. |

Continuing your proposition, a 245/35/19 for a 9.5" is not a suggestion based on extensive knowledge. Its a suggestion based on the offset limitation of the wheel on the vehicle since larger tires will not clear the fenders. A 245/35/19 leaves the rim more exposed than desired. Too exposed in fact. The tire is also very stretched. You also have the negative side effects of the rim prone to curbing and bending, rough ride, excessive tire wear, bump steer, etc, which in return provide a performance decrease instead of improving it. A wheel should have the proper width, offset, reduction in weight, suspension and fender clearance, and the ability to install the proper tires sizes without running into clearing issues. Unless you are going for the stretched look and you don't care about the effects. That wheel is too exposed. If the wheel requires stretched tires to fit then the offset is not the proper offset. An offset of 19x9.5ET55-58 would've suited better and eliminated the clearance issues and allow a proper tire to fit. That's just my observation. Last edited by ALUFELGEN; 03-18-2010 at 08:24 PM.. |

Quit your bickering both of you...
I would rather run a tire closer to 255-265 on a rear 9.5" wheel, so unless VMR comes out with a TRUE 135 offset for this wheel, I wont be going with it, 40F and 45R for 8.5" and 9.5" wide wheels isnt enough. The offsets need to more closely match stock, i.e. wheels like the ADVAN RZ's that are 8" 45offset fronts and 9" 50offset rears. That fits, allows you to run a 255-265 tires without rubbing and looks beautiful. If you wanna go ahead and buy a wheel that is obviously going to rub in most cases (specially with a tire thats smaller than should be run with that width of wheel) then you're just making things harder for yourself, end of story |

I agree. I love both designs but none of that was a consideration for me. Alufelgen have made the only wheel with the correct offsets for our 1er and that was enough to seal the deal for me. I did not want to deal with rolling fenders or rubbing issues. Now that I've got them on my car I couldn't be happier. Just my 5 cents.

Unfortunately Alufelgen don't come in 19", and CSL looks kind of old to me. They first came out several years ago, after all.
TBH, I don't see what Jurrian@eas did here to deserve the criticism labelled at him, as he merely responded to the thread title which asked for opinions on VMR710, without mentioning anything negative about the other product mentioned. It seems that from people who had fitted VMR 710's with ET45 and ET50, they fit OK on a 1 series, albeit that you have to run tires a bit narrower than ideal. The only problem this seems to pose, is that the rims are a bit more exposed to curbing. However, regardless of what tires you have, if you curb your wheels, you are going to damaged them anyway, stretched tires or not. |

Wrong. I ordered a set of 710's with a 45 front and 50 rear offset. VMR now supports a 1 series offset.

There are a number of vendors in the commercial section that sell them in et45 and et50. I don't have them myself though.
