embedded pics for you



They are very nice... Raz0s has them on his car. Advan RZ.

However they are rather exxy... if you want something that looks similar, you can get Advan RS style wheels like I have (VMR V701)

I think 135i looks good with VMR VB3. I think they are still running the promo deal as we speak so definitely worth checking them out.

Those VMW VB3 do look stunning (are they not a copy of the CSL rim?) , however they are very very popular. Trying to go for a different look.. I havent seen many 1's with rims with a deep dish, may not suit or fit??

I am not a fan of Deep dish prefer concave style!

this is a bit of a noob question. Do they make aftermarket rims that support run flat tyres. If not, do you just fill the tyre with that slime stuff that expands so that you can at least get them repaired/replaced?

Whilst RFTs can be put on aftermarket rims, in the event of a flat, they are just as useless as nonRFTs as the wheel does not have a specially designed lip which holds the flat tyre on.
