I've been debating on getting VMR wheels too but will def hold off until the reveal. I love the V710 but have a feeling these will be hot.

Judging by the picture the wheel looks like a straight spoke.... and the spacing of the spokes along with the name, V706, leads me to believe it will be a straight 6 spoke design (the V705 is a straight 5 spoke design).

The spokes seem to be similar to the ones on the V702.

So if I'm correct to I win a set??

Hmmm...

Ok the more I stare at it the more I'm starting to agree. 8 is too many.

@VMRWheels - is it true these will only be available in 19"? That will count many of us 1ers out unfortunately

Unfortunately, I'm guessing they'll only be in 18"+ sizing. I hate the trend of big cars and even bigger wheels.

I wish a company would listen to the market and design some good looking, proper fitment 17" wheels like many of us are asking for. Maybe one day...

it looks just like the beyern wheel that didn't last very long. I for one would like a wide split five spoke design, I am seeing them more and more on stock vehicles from lambo to Toyota lately. im sure everyone who wants to be different will disagree but when I put black wheels on my car years ago I received nothing but bad criticism and then auto makers started slapping them on from the factory and now everyone wants black wheels.

Does the raised spoke design make it difficult for tire shops to install tires without messing up the raised portion?
