I went with the Yokohama Neova ADO8 after reading thorough reviews. So we'll have to wait and see

Looking at the Velocity website, it looks like you can get 18x8.5 & 19x8.5 both ET45 which should just about fit.

I know the AC Schnitzer wheels are 8.5" wide ET43 and they fit just about ok in the front.

I would love to see a pic of a 1er with these wheels with 19x8.5 ET45 front and rear.....

I found a thread here with V713 19x8.5 ET45 fronts which should give you an idea of what they look like fitment wise. I personally would like the same size wheel on the rear as the one in the thread has had major fender work I think.

They have the same specs as my car. All 4 19x8.5's et45 should fit. To fit the 9.5 rear you only need moderate fender work

I think I might have to try it out then. What exact specs should I request when ordering? I'm still confused on what numbers work for the 135.

V710s are made in 18"s or 19"s but the offsets would look like this
ET35 fronts 18/19x8.5"
ET45 rears 18/19x9.5"

I would try to stretch that front tire pretty good to make it fit nicely. A 215 size tire should work, but obviously it's just a guessing game.

According to thier website they have et45 all around

sootyvrs · 07-04-2009, 04:15 AM

I have just been told by a UK supplier that they contacted Velocity Motoring and they have confirmed that the V710 only comes in 8.5 ET35 and not ET45 for BMW fitment.

I think the ET45 as stated in the website is only available for VW/Audi 5x112 fitment.

Motorsports_3 has the V713 wheels which are available in 19x8.5 ET45.

It's the V710's which are not available in that size.

Trust me, they're not available in 8.5" ET45 for any BMW fitment.

It should be actually 18x8.5" ET40 all around for the CSLs.

V713's are NOT available in 19x8.5" ET 45 unless they milled down the offset to that size which is not recommended. That offset should be ET35 for any 8.5" wheel unless you're running it for a E60 or M3 (which is ET25-ET20).

I dunno, but when I talked to Ty he said they came in et45, the website says they do, and my invoice also says et45. So are you saying that VMR shaved my wheels?

Just called Velocity Motoring about the wheel, and apparently they were made only for a short production run. Sorry about all the confusion guys, I didn't know about it.

VMR would never mill down or shave wheels without letting me know, it was my mistake to blabber about those wheels in the wrong offset, but as I just confirmed, for a very short production run, these wheels were made in a ET45 in the 19x8.5" sizing. Sorry about that guys

sootyvrs · 07-06-2009, 04:00 PM

Such a shame they don't do the V710 in ET45 for BMW fitment as they do it in 5x112 Audi/VW fitment!

Here's a thread I found on a couple of Audi forums

http://forums.fourtitude.com/zerothread?id=4320740

Perhaps if there is a demand, they may make a limited run at special 1 series offset???

I'd be interested..... Perhaps we can do a group buy assuming Velocity would be interested that is

999ducman · 07-15-2009, 11:18 PM

Update...after a long wait and breaking the car in I finally did the install of my wheels. The fronts are fine I have no rubbing. However, the rears def rub but where they are actaully rubbing I beleieve they can fit with with some fender rolling. Pics take from my phone so quality is alright. I will try and get some more pics with my camera later this week. Enjoy

e82vette · 07-16-2009, 12:50 AM

wow they do stick out a lot....

monster truckish...

sootyvrs · 07-16-2009, 01:33 AM

These are may favourite wheels, I think they stick out too much for my tastes with those offsets.

I wonder if VMR would make the correct offsets if we do a group buy???

EDIT: Have a look here for possible group buy in 1 Series fitment!!!
