wheel help!

[510135]

Hello Guys,
For the past few months I have been trying to find a set of wheels that is different,but suitable for a 1 series (DAMN OFFSETS!!!). I have seen some fantastic wheels that I like but aggressive body modifcation is required to make them work. Others are Rare and the price tag reflects that! Anyhow, I have sort of gone round circle and want your thoughts on these style/colour options. Best of all they are 1er fitment specific. Please give me your thoughts...

VMR V701 Custom Polished




VMR VB3 Custom "Sunken Treasure"





The one that got away: too much $$$$$'s and aggressive fitment issues
CCW LM20's


I am awaiting a response from VMR about the possibilty of "sunken treasure" on the V701

I kind of like the v718 myself. What about the BMW 269 or 313 like Angus'

[510135]

I do like them but I want something a bit different...

I like the Polished 701s on a dark car... Johnny's car looks HOT!!!...

Of course, the 313s are good too

[Harlequin]

I really want a set of CCW Classics though... but as you said - price, availability, fitment...

[510135]

Thanks Angus. Yeah I like the polished on dark look too, I came across the "sunken treasure" colour today. They say that it looks quite dark in low light and gold in direct sunlight.
And CCW's you are looking at close to $5K once its ordered shipped and cleared dutys, then you have to buy tyres...

[Harlequin]

Hmm... Not sure about Gold on a BMW.... I know they're not really "gold" but might make it look a bit too "Subaru"...

[510135]

Unfortunately I cant find a 1 series with that colour on it . When they are just sitting off the car (as above) they look great..

[Harlequin]

I agree that they look fantastic in the photo's above... Guess it depends on the look you're going for... Personally I'd go for a lighter wheel on black - unless you're going for the "murdered" look...

[510135]

nah I dont like the 'murdered' look at all. The wheel just disappears, I think the wheel should complement the car and sort of be a defining feature..

[Harlequin]

Agreed... It's be nice to see them on a black car... It's difficult to picture them...

[Harlequin]

Found a couple of pics of the "Sunken Treasure" - on Silver:





I dunno... I think they look kinda dirty...

[510135]

I dont mind them, i think on black it would look different again. I have requested some pictures from VMR direct, see what that yields. The colour name is just...strange

[Harlequin]

Hehe... true... I guess it's supposed to look like tarnished gold...

Would really like to see what they look like on black...

[Harlequin]

Find some on a Black Monaro:

[Harlequin]

Personally I think they look too brown... I reckon they'd look fantastic in direct sunlight but not a fan of them in these pics...

[510135]

yeh those monaro ones look . I don't think any colour of that wheel would look good on that monaro. But that being said it is black and it does look brown.

[Harlequin]

Yeah... First problem is that the car is dirty. Second problem is that the light is bad. Third problem is that those wheels are WAY too small for that car...

Unfortunately it's the best I could find...

V701s polished from me.

That treasure thing looks like someone smeared poo over the wheels.

V701 FTW

[woosh]

Why not look at Enkei or Bbs wheels from yahoo.jp? If you want a classic or unique wheel, that's the best place to look. Most sets i see on there come under 2-3k delivered (for 19" Bbs' that is)

CCW! You have to pay the cost to be the boss

I think I like VB3 but not a huge fan of the Sunken colour Nick.
