VMR are very heavy wheels, I wouldn't run them. IIRC apex wheels are 70% of the weight for similar design and size.

I want to see 18x9+40 all round, not a fan of staggered fitment.

Apex are very light (18"x8.5" weighing in at around 7.5kg??), I wouldn't necessarily call vmr very heavy, they're lighter than or the same as the factory BMW wheels...

Also, I was thinking of going staggered because I have a staggered setup now (205 front, 225 rear from factory) and that will keep a similar balance rather than the front gaining more grip relative to the rear (if I were to go to a 8.5" 225 square set up)?
I've changed to square tyres all round, and get less understeer.

On an 8.5 could probably run a 235
