I had some finish problems with my VS7's... this is after waiting an extra 2 months to get the "new" finishing process that was suppose to be so great.
I sent them an e-mail and havne't heard anything. I just haven't had time to bitch about it much.

Needless to say, their customer service leaves a LOT to be desired. If they didn't have such a nice looking, lightweight product, I'd pass.

I read through that thread and it seems mostly like normal GB drama and some concerns over a delay in receiving samples. Currently a debate about whether Carlos should be releasing his offset research to the "public"

I don't see anything there that makes me concerned, but will keep an eye on things for us.

Can you be specific about what problems AUS? And keep us in the loop about whether you get a satisfactory reply or not too. Thanks.

I've already decided not to paricipate in a morr group buy. The outfit seems unprofessional. I'm probably just going to end up getting BBS at tirerack.

There were 3 wheels that had blemeshes along the edge of the outer rim. They were about 1" long and some were deeper than others. It wasn't a big deal, but obvious problems. You can barely see them that much with the tires on, but I waited 2 months for this new finish and it wasn't so great of a finish. I also bought them after the GB, so I didn't get them at a great price either.

Don't get me wrong about the wheels, they're very good, and very light, and I'm still interested in getting them for this car. I just think they need to hire someone to answer calls/e-mails.
I don't know what those guys on E90 are complaining about considering how long it took to get their wheels on the first GB... MONTHS after they were suppose to recieve them.

VS8 finishes are starting to roll out (pun intended).

Wow, those look really good.

new_one · 03-01-2008, 08:02 AM

This one I think would look fine on my AW and may emphasis the concavity and probably hide a little brake dust. The VS8's look great! Thanks for the link Tuned1

^ I like these also. Waiting on the Matte Black & Diamond Black finishes to make up my decision though.

edge350 · 03-02-2008, 10:56 PM

I'm in: VS8 18's, non-staggered, 8.5.
I'd also like to see the Matte and Diamond Black.
Can someone with 'skillz' photo-shop VS8's on a Crimson Red 135i?

new_one · 03-03-2008, 10:29 AM

^ gotcha edge350 and welcome aboard. Loving your sig! "a caffeinated circus monkey" - LOL - that would indeed be endlessly involving fun.

Do you have an ETA as to when something in 1'er fitment will be available?

TunedM2C · 03-19-2008, 12:20 PM

Cool. When will you have those remaining finishes available online?

ichiban · 03-19-2008, 01:21 PM

So how will the concavity look? Will be get the same look as the staggered setups as seen on the e92s? maybe even e90s?

Sounds good.

What do you think 18"x8.5" wheels would weigh? ~18lbs?

If they're around that in weight, I know I'd be interested. I think there was a list up in the first post.

new_one · 03-19-2008, 04:35 PM

I agree that an 18x8.5 non-staggered would be ideal esp. if you are lowering. I am glad the cars are finally here and we can get some real testing and data!
