New Shoes! VMR Diamond Graphite 710's

Sorry for not posting sooner but I had to pick today to put my wheels and it just happened to be a comfy 92 degrees

Here are the specs:

VMR Custom Powdercoat Diamond Graphite 710's
Front 18x8.5 ET45
Rear 18x9.5 ET50
Tires Hankook Ventus 712 evo 225 front 255 rear
TPMS

Suspension is stock and no rubbing at all after a pretty decent drive. I can't believe how much better the car rides without the run-flats.

I like to thank Eric at pyspeed for hooking me up with this sweet combo.

Enjoy

Brian











More to come soon

looks great! if you have time please take a shot closer up of the rims/tire combo as well as a close up shot rom the rear looking foward so we can see the stance in relation to the fenders, tire fit(stretched) and also how the offset looks. This would be my choice and color as well...Did you use the stock TPMS or did you buy new ones....It's s good idea to keep the stock rims and tires if ever you want to trade the car in to a BMW dealer....everything i mean everything has to be stock for BMW to certify it and will certainly effect the trade in value.

The color is great. I wish I had been willing to wait. I have an almost identical set up with Forgestars, but I like your's better.

I think your Forgestars look awesome too. You shouldn't have any regrets IMO.

Ptack, I know how you feel. I've always thought the V710's looked better than the F14's, but I ultimately chose the F14's because of the difference in wheel weights.

Btw, my other car has SW388's!

Thanks for all of the compliments fellas..im very happy with the combo.

I did get the rims, tires and new tpms from pyspeed as a package.

I guess if anyone is looking for gunmetal rims, these are about as close as you can get with the 710.

You were right about the powdercoat John, it was top quality and worth the wait

Those look great! I am switching my order from the Forgestars to the 710s. I have space gray, anyone have any suggestions on what color I should powdercoat them??? I'm leaning towards just a gloss black but am open to suggestions
