Possible group buy for VMR V710's in 1er ofsets!!!!!!!!

[ALLMuRdErEdOut]

Does anyone know the fitment and offset on this 1er? i sent them a message but no response. It really looks good and doesn't look wayyyyy off. What are the possibilities???

The fitment looks almost perfect. DAMMIT, everytime i look at these wheels i get butterflies in my stomach or gas. I think it's buttersflies that get killed by gas.

Here are a couple pix of their page on cardomain:

Those offsets are the ones already available to buy

19x8.5 ET35 front
19x9.5 ET45 rear

You will need quite a bit of fender work and perhaps also camber plates to get some negative camber for those to fit, especially if lowered.

Hey quick question. I just found out that KW makes V2s in a vert specification. Im buying them in a few months. So will these wheels rub with my PS2s + ~1 inch drop? 225/40 and 255/35

You should be OK, hence the title of 1er Series offsets

Lets hope VMR start giving us some updates

aren't these the wheels everyone is talking about http://www.**********s.com/_e/Wheels..._Staggered.htm i don't want this to seem like an advertisement I was just curious if this is what we are talking about?!?

Yes, these are the same wheels but this thread is about getting this wheel in offsets which fit the BMW 1 Series.

If you look closely at the info in your link they are only available in Offsets which do not fit the BMW 1 Series correctly.

Nothing to apologise about.... great that you were trying to help. I think if they had the right offsets available on the website, I'm sure they would have most who have been following this thread jumping on it!

[VMRWheels]

All high offset testing has been cleared! How would you guys like to see 19x8.5 +45 & 19x9.5 +50 V710's?

Estimated arrival should be around 2 months after final production is confirmed.

[BrokenVert]

Bump for updates. Also will VMR (hopefully) offer V713s in proper rear offsets at some point? 18"?

Sooner the better.

Lots of people are buying new wheels right now as they try to figure out their winter setups. Info on other sizes would be very helpful.

Seriously, thanks for helping me out! While Charles has been corresponding with you I've been giving and getting updates here and there.

Here are some updates for everyone:

- So far, the V710 19x9.5 ET50 has been scheduled for production. This will finish late nov/early dec.

- I've got assorted 8.5 ET45 and 9.5ET50 in 18" AND 19" in the pipeline at the moment.

- I was going to wait until all fitments get the green light... but as you know, testing 5-10 wheels at a time is just going to back it up for weeks. So its better for it to "trickle" out than to wait a long time for everything to come at once.

We will be offering incentives/discounts for preorders - but I don't wan't to discuss specifics until closer to arrival date. Plus, we're not a sponsor of 1Addicts and I don't want to run afoul of the rules. The way I see it, we're maintaining a healthy dialogue discussing production and technical details and not pricing.

Thanks for the update Peter.

I'm really looking forward to seeing what will be available for the 1er. The v710, new v701 & VB3 are all fantastic

Timing will be perfect as I can wait until after the worst of the winter is over

Throwing myself into this... I'm patiently waiting for either an 18" or 19" that fits well Probably wishful thinking, but if I can get these under a Christmas tree I will be smitten.

[woodman650]

Any updates on this? I need to order some new tires soon and am wondering if I should wait for wheels
