Wonderful wheels, i PM you

amiller212 · 11-20-2010, 12:38 PM

Wow. He need to find out what these wheels are!!

Sylon · 11-20-2010, 01:52 PM

Definitely a nice color combo there with those wheels.

xcellr8tion · 11-20-2010, 02:48 PM

Thanks - they're VMR VB3 in Gunmetal.

Front: 19" X 8.5" 5/120 ET 40MM (225/35 tire)
Rear: 19" X 9.5" 5/120 ET 45MM (245/35 tire)

Would've preferred going a bit wider on the rear tire, but didn't want to rub and don't want to mess with rolling, camber plates, etc.

Going back and forth on whether I should get black wheels or not..

I'm looking at the Breyton GTS-Rs in black, and right now I've got the ones that come with the M-Sport package for the 128i.

ones.

Any ideas/recommendations? I'm not a huge fan of the ones I've got now, but am a little skeptical about getting black wheels, even though the pictures I've seen of the GTS-Rs look absolutely awesome.
