See my pic above Bryan posted...my poll vote is a bit biased

710's for the win! I have the matt black ones =) I'll post some up soon!

jmcphillips1 · 04-20-2012, 02:33 PM

wow what a vote!!! tied at 50/50

John_01 · 04-21-2012, 12:27 AM

Its so hard to choose between these!
For a AW car, I would probably get V718 18" in Silver. If getting them in Gunmetal then I prefer for the simpler design of the V710s. Still 18", because I am just not a fan of 19" wheels on the 1 series coupe.

I just ordered a set of V710's matte black. 18" x 8.5 front 18" x 9.5 rear They should be on the car this weekend. Can't wait!

Why do these look so much smaller than Sisom's 18 VMR wheels. They are supposedly the same size. ODD

John_01 · 04-30-2012, 10:29 PM

Systom's car looks lower or maybe because it is parked on flat ground. Silver wheels will generally look bigger than gunmetal too IMO.

What finish are these?

dtwo · 05-04-2012, 04:59 PM

V710s - Gunmetal or Hyper Silver on Silver Graphite Metallic?

Vdub02 · 05-05-2012, 04:00 PM

I went with the 19inch 718's w/Hankook v12's in Matte Black this week, think it looks pretty good on the vert.

VMRWheels · 05-08-2012, 07:32 PM

19inch v710's?

John_01 · 05-08-2012, 08:02 PM

Vdub, Those black 718's are perfect on your vert. Great choice!

montana82 · 05-09-2012, 05:08 PM

Are the 710's more concave then the 718's?

I couldn't agree more.

Same concavity. No difference at all.

VMRWheels · 05-09-2012, 06:33 PM

V718's in Gunmetal
19x8.5 +45, 19x9.5 +45

Tony,

He's running our recommended setup with a 19x8.5 +45, 19x9.5 +50 with a 225/35/19, 245/30/19. Suspension seems stock or just the M-sports.

montana82 · 05-11-2012, 05:36 PM

Ok thank you Don. Too bad they are sold out at the moment. :/
