1M Conversion Wheel Poll!! Need your help!

Brearley_III · 03-17-2015, 01:35 PM

So I'm at the point where I need to get my wheels ordered for my 1M conversion... I will be going with a square 18x9.5 ET22 setup with either 265 or 275 tires depending on fitment.

Here's the car as it stands now...

I'm between 4 wheel options;

Option #1 - VMR V703 in Pacific Blue (wifey's 1st choice) Wheel shown is not the V703, it's the only sample picture of Pacific Blue available.

Option #2 - VMR V703 in Sunken Treasure (don't mind my quicky photoshop skills, ha)

Option #3 - VMR V703 in Rally Orange (Hankook will like this!)

Option #4 - VMR V703 in Textured Black

Let me know what you all think!

What color will your car be after paint?

#1 > Get a base color you can actually resell if you get tired of the style....then...
#2 > Plasti-dip them whatever color you want

All those colors and-then-some, can be achieved with dip inexpensively. It also protects the wheel (win-win). If you're skeptical about the finish, don't be -- it's legit. I also saw first-hand their new gloss finish, and let me tell ya, it's pretty amazing.

Anyways, I'm not affiliated with those guys. Been working with the product now for a few months and the results are bad-ass. https://www.dipyourcar.com/Dip-Pearls/

HMMM... Not a bad idea. I change my mind a lot so that could work for me, ha!

run a wider wheel in the rear. with ET 22 you should have a 10-10.5 rear wheel. Run a 265/285 or a 265/275 depending on brand.

All of your wheel color combos will look cool. I think you cant go wrong with any of them.

I really would like to keep a square setup... Any suggestions on an offset to run a 265 or 275 all the way around?

135TX · 03-17-2015, 04:02 PM

I voted for the textured black, then Plastidip whatever color you like, great idea TUN3D

Broke135 · 03-17-2015, 04:13 PM

I really like Sunken Treasure, but I guess if you Plastidip then it doesn't really matter.

ShocknAwe · 03-17-2015, 04:57 PM

Maybe its just me, but I'm really digging the aw/rally orange combo.

Ultimateone · 03-17-2015, 05:41 PM

Black gets lost and is over done...

Ginger_Extract · 03-17-2015, 05:53 PM

Your tint has a reflective blue hue to it, keep that theme rolling with the blue wheels. I dig it.

Your car can fit e9x m3 fitments. If you want to go exact square all around i would run 10's front and back.

Matt 335is · 03-17-2015, 06:43 PM

If you're seriously considering Sunken Treasure please take a look at Titan Bronze, love that color!

Brearley_III · 03-18-2015, 02:14 PM

Sunken Treasure taking the lead! I would not have guessed that... Keep the votes coming!

Grinchxvx · 03-18-2015, 02:43 PM

I have flat black on my car and I say if you're going to get black get gloss. Flat black just looks like spray paint to me. Out of these colors I would get sunken treasure

Same here!

VMRWheels · 03-18-2015, 03:31 PM

My vote is for Orange or Pacific Blue

Brearley_III · 03-19-2015, 12:25 PM

Leaning towards Rally Orange at this point... Going to make my final decision tomorrow!
