Hi everyone, in terms of all your fitment questions etc from previous posts Ive emailed the guys at VMR and will PM you all ASAP!

Thanks for the kind words guys, I appreciate the support.

Im aware that pricing is a massive factor when purchasing anything so we are going to do our upmost to be as reasonable as possible, I also want to stress that we are going to give the best customer service possible to all VMR potential and on going customers.

Update on the premises is that the deal should be signed off tomorrow - once its all done I will let you guys know.

Also, to celebrate the opening we will be holding an open day at the showroom / warehouse when we get all our stock in so you guys can come along and "touch and feel" the entire range.

Hi Woosh, we are in no way affiliated with European Auto Source.

Thanks again guys - more info soon!

I assume you will be stocking a wide range of sizes & specs to cater for other makes, ie VW?

If so very keen to see pricing when available.

Hi Guys, Thanks for all the support and kind comments! I will PM all who have asked specific questions later today or tomorrow - sorry for the delay guys....

As the showroom / warehouse is devoted entirely to VMR we will be carrying the ENTIRE range guys in all sizes, finishes and fitments so we can eliminate the waiting period in most cases.

Can I ask you guys if there is any particular size, colour, fitment you would like me to order in as Im placing the final order today - no obligation just want to have in stock what you guys might like.

We have 110 sqm of warehouse and showroom space to fill so let me know guys.... Thanks again and yes the open day will be sponsored by us - what do you guys think? BBQ? Dinner event?

Maybe a BBQ, first Sunday of December?
Hopefully gives you time to get some stuff in stock, but too much later and it might be better to wait till the new year as people get busy with Christmas plans and the silly season

8.5*19 and 10*19.
I'd really like to see that black silver (sorry I don't know the proper name) kinda silver, kinda chrome and kinda black all together. Don't know about fitment either but whatever enables me to put the most rubber on a 335

Hi all, apologies for not getting back to you on the specific questions, I will endevour to get back to you guys shortly! Update on VMR is that we have a 20ft container with 60 sets of wheels due to leave the USA for Australia in the next 3 days. I have tried to cater for everyone and have ordered wheels in ALL sizes and colours. At this stage we are probably going to have an open day at our facility to launch VMR in Australia in early to mid January as we need time to get the stock here and set up the premises. Looking forward to meeting as many of you as possible and helping you out with your VMR needs. Cheers, Jason

URGENT ANNOUNCEMENT!!! Hi guys, after months of intense negotiation and great expense on my behalf VMR head office have decided to go with another distributor, even after we were assured the deal was set in stone. Obviously I am dissapointed in this outcome because we were so looking forward to representing VMR in Australia but now this is not going to happen. I am in talks with 2 other wheel manufacturers / suppliers who make a similar product but as they are made in the USA are quite a bit more expensive so Im not sure if the market will support them in Australia ie: 50% more than VMR products. If anyone would like me to keep them abreast of the outcome please email me at the address above and I apologise for the inconvenience caused. I can only wish the new distributors success with their new venture. Jason

That is a shame Jason! Would be good to have VMR distributor here in AU!

Maybe you should get in touch with Alufelgen and see if you can get something going on with them?

Hi guys, thanks for the support!

Sparklingred, I believe in the end they gave it to someone in Melbourne but I cant be sure??

So, we now have 120 sqm of warehouse / showroom space in Alexandria here in Sydney sitting empty which we need to do something with. Im lookng into some other brands as I said and even the possibility of starting our own brand which would be designed and manufactured in the USA.

Will keep you guys posted, Jason.

Sounds like it went to the shop I was talking to the other day then.

In that case can you try and get some of these?

Unfortunately there is a lot of misinformation floating in the air right now. We are working with Jason to get things cleared up. Thanks everyone for your interest in VMR Wheels.
