2012 JB 135 with VMR Electric Blue VB3's

GT1281 · 07-10-2011, 10:54 AM

What do you guys think? I want to do the Electric Blue VMR VB3's on my 2012 Jet Black 135 M-sport in 18x8.5 & 18x9.5. My fiancé says hell no! She likes the wheels/color but she thinks they would only work on an AW 135. If these don't work I'm going to go with my other choice which was the Advan RZ's in 18x8 & 18x9 in Dark Gunmetal Metallic. Let me know what you guys think.

Color rims tend to look better on AW cars.. hmm on a black car.. it could work.. maybe someone can photoshop it?

Colored wheels remind me of 70's and 80's Pontiacs.

really depends on how its done. Everyone seen Makkasteez's car? yeah the orange on the AW? it looks sick. OP, I think you should definitely do it. No questions.

I think so to. I want to be different than everyone else. Regular VB3's are far from that so why not add a little color. I will have it done right though regarding the stance. It's going to be done along with the Eibach Pro Kit so it should look killer.

I had the same springs on an 07 civic I used to have, wasn't a bad setup at all. It will eliminate some wheel gap, probably not all, but at least it'll look good and not really sacrifice ride quality at all. And if you've ever seen my car, you would realize you're preaching to the choir when it comes to doing something different with a 135i lol

Make sure you post pictures when its done, I'd love to see the finished product

It's the whole spring/shock kit. After my research I should have the ideal setup. No gap and no rub. I really don't want or need coilovers even though it would give it that little bit more edge in terms of the stance of the car

oh nice! and well yeah, no matter what you do (except adding spacers), you won't rub on VB3s. The offsets are like 45 and 50 or something close to that right?

The rest of my post was ninja edited so it didn't make it into your quote lol

Thanks. It should be a real nice setup. The rears would be ET45.

Electric Blue on JB will definitely look really cool! I can take a photo of a similar blue on JB if you would like. The shade is darker then Electric Blue but it can give you a good idea of what you'll be working with.
