Pic Request: VMR VB3 and 710s (preferrably gunmetal or hyperblack)

Hey guys, seen plenty of VMR 710s posted here but couldn't really find a good picture of a 1er sporting some VB3s.. I'm considering purchasing either one and would love to see a direct comparison. Also, I'd love to see how they look in gunmetal and hyperblack on an AW.. I know, I know, how much more specific can I get ..?

Thanks!

As far as Hyperblack, well as you probably know, that' just on the Vb3's, here's a good shot of those:



Sure it's on a 335i, but I think this picture really brings out the chrome on these wheels.

As for V710s, here's a few more shots of some customer cars:





Sorry they're not in gunmetal, but those are the V710s.

Here's a few of our 135i on VB3's:





Gunmetal VB3s:





And I got a couple more:











Sorry the last few pictures aren't the best quality... The best quality pictures I have of MY customer's car were already posted above.

Since we're the EXCLUSIVE, dealer on Gunmetal, we're going to be your only source for Gunmetal or matte black VB3's or V710s. As you can tell they obviously look excellent on the 135i, and we've got them IN STOCK, for 18"s and for 19"s, so get your orders in now!

Hyperblack is a Shadow CHROME, so in dark light, yes it will look darker than gunmetal, but in the light, they're chrome, just a good ole' chrome with a medium-dark tint.

Why do the VB3's look better on the 3 series - ?? I really like them on that but not on the 1 series.

Probably because those are 19's and the design looks way better in that size.

Here's my sparkling graphite metallic 1er on 18" Hyper Black VB3s.

Note I had a wheel shop take my rear offset down to 50ET from the standard 45ET these came as.

After offset was fixed:

Any ideas what rim size / offset and tire size is on the black 135 with the VB3's in the photo with the eas logo? Also any idea what suspension mods are done to that car and if there were any rubbing issues or fender mods required? The tire size and stance on that car just looks right.
