Bitch and moan... man this seems like the best overall combination of weight, size, stagger, and price that I've seen anywhere..Surely worth a little wait...

gotcha down man!

Why the VS7 when the VS8 is the newest wheel with all the little refinements that make a wheel look so much better?
The VS7's are a little blockey around the rim face, where the VS8 is angled (at least in front) and looks cleaner with slightly rounded spokes. Not the mention, the more open design of the 7 spoke wheel will really show off the calipers more.

TunedM2C · 04-10-2008, 07:58 PM

Yeah, I never wanted VS7's, just VS8's.

MadMan77 · 04-12-2008, 11:17 PM

Man, they are talking mid-July delivery on the e90 GB. Then we have to wait on the e46 GB. I am thinking I start saving now and by this time next year our GB should be in full swing.

Back on topic: These are awesome looking wheels and would love to get the VS8's in an 18" configuration.

ASV,I apologize if this is a repost but what make and model wheel is that and what did you use to obtain that drop. Thanks

WAY · 04-13-2008, 08:49 AM

Jim new_one, I am all confused now. Is the 18's now $2250? So the group buy is for the 18's VS7? But is it staggered or non-staggered? I really want to buy this!

+1.
Is the group buy for VS7 or VS8? I understand that it's for 18's either way.

Volk RE30's with H&R Sport springs.

Just a word of caution, now that my springs have settled it looks like the 225 is too much for the dropped car. There is some slight rubbing in the front.

If possible most are looking for that. Because it's a new car here in the ol' USA there is some fitting being done, and at least preliminarily it's not looking good for the square I admit.

Carlos I am sure will be hitting us up with his testing and recommendations as soon as he is ready.

This is Carlos' last post about pricing >

Quote:

Our VS7 retail GB price is $2250 and our VS8 $2,500 for 19".

He has also answered questions about whether 19's will be available by saying if there is demand than yes.

I would guess he will eventually make either the VS7 or VS8 in 18" or 19" if there are enough requests.

My understanding (and I could be wrong!) is that we are trying to get the group buy started with VS7 at 18" as that is what there was the most initial interest for. He is testing fitment for a square setup, but that may not be ideal as we are finding out with the first batch of folks trying out their non-custom new wheel setups.

If anyone has any questions post 'em up and I will try and keep this thread updated!

tjockey · 04-13-2008, 01:56 PM

Well it seems that a custom configured wheel in a non-staggered set-up is the only way to go for a square set-up.. Whether VS7 or VS8 is just a matter of taste and I, for one, am entirely flexible in that regard... Just get me the widest rubber in front possible...The good looks are just added benefit..:eyebulge::headbang::headbang::thumbup:

Thanks for all the info -- and I'm not trying to be difficult, I just REALLY want these wheels to work out well on our cars. If we can find a good size & offset with a "square" setup then I'll be really happy, but when compromises are made to have a "square" setup then count me out.

new_one · 04-13-2008, 02:08 PM

^ no problem gizmo - i think we are in the same boat and on the same page! It's in the technically capable hands of Carlos Morr now.

According to Carlos the time frame is 90 days after the GB is initiated which means 20 folks have paid up.

WAY · 04-15-2008, 09:05 AM

I am ready to put cash down for 18's VS7. But I am not even sure if this is $2250 or $2750...

Dave · 04-15-2008, 09:48 AM

ok so we have 19 ppl
i know may/june is optomistic..lol if we all have money by end of the month
which would be very optimistic...then we would have the wheels by july?

we are getting organized to start the official group buy. stand by for specifics.

tjockey · 04-15-2008, 11:08 AM

Rock on .....:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Will we have the option of having the rubber of choice mounted when the wheels are shipped for extra $$$$ , of course?

I'll keep my eyes on this for more details on this.

If these will fit bigger rubber up front better than current options, then I'm all over it. It sounds that with most current options, even 225s are a problem up front with 8.5" wide wheels! :eyebulge:
