The 18s are set at $2150/set and the 19s at $2350. We need 10 buyers minimum.

I`ve been a little busy lately but i`m going to be active on the boards from now on to answer any questions.

Sounds good Carlos! I am pretty sure there is waaay more interest in these wheels than has been seen at the moment. Once we can get some serious numbers AND most importantly PICTURES of these mounted on an 135i then we can really get the ball rolling and bring ya some more business. If you need a test vehicle I volunteer myself(hehe:biggrin

but you will have to wait until mid-July when I come out of the desert on vacation!(Gotta pick up the car...it is at the dealer marinating right now)

Edge350, thanks for organise this. I am in (ie. commited) with one condition: This transaction concludes by 1 July. I just feel that you need to set a date, otherwise this will drag on forever. Oh, and I only am interested in 18's, staggered.

Advanced · 06-17-2008, 04:45 AM

wow!!!!!!! i just stumbled across this thread . . and the rims looks SWEET!!

im really and only interested in the vs8 19'', staggered . .

however, i need a little bit more info that most of us are waiting for (ie. tire size, and so on) . .

hope all questions will be cleared up soon time!

I've updated the list. :smile:

Bump, bump, bump...we need 4-5 more people!!!

Very interested. If we're all not forced into getting the same color I'll pull the trigger and will be in as well. Staggered is fine, but I want the silver non black wheels.

Carlos, can you confirm whether we'll be able to choose our colors? And clarify the choices available?

Carlos,

We need exact sizes, offsets, etc, etc....
Many people are asking those questions and without that info they wont even consider buying....We need the numbers man!:wink:

E82tt6 · 06-20-2008, 12:41 AM

Given the wheels are made for the car specifically, I'd assume 235/255 tires should be Okish, and 225/255 should be no sweat.

Been waiting for this a while, glad to see the ball is rolling

320Devil · 06-20-2008, 07:31 PM

Good news on the colors, thanks. The 7's look really sweet. It's hard to tell form a sketch, but the VS8s don't look as good as the 7s, but hopefully once they're built and we get to the real product they will look as good. In any event, if these get built soon you can count me in. Much easier for me to spend my money now before I get back to the States and blow it all!

I've updated the list. We're up to eight.

Carlos doesn't give offsets.
I'd like to know what size we're talking about here, 18" or 19"

18

adrean8j · 06-23-2008, 01:43 PM

18's with a small drop should be enough....19's look just a little large IMHO....Only 2 more people needed!!!

Cashman · 06-23-2008, 03:40 PM

Too Bad if it was a 19, i would do it but 18 just isnt big enough for me.

aus · 06-23-2008, 06:03 PM

After seeing a few cars with 18" and a drop, it's just not big enough for me. Everyone had 19" on E46's and the E9x looks perfect with 19's. Good luck with the 18" GB.
Hopefully there's enough intereste for a 19" GB later.

adrean8j · 07-01-2008, 07:22 AM

Bump here people...we are still 2 short for VS8's 18in.

Forget size. For me, performance and tire selection are the big reasons to go 18"! For me, the big appeal of these wheels is dropping 5+lbs while still looking sexy. If there was no performance advantage to be had, I wouldn't be interested. That said, I know everyone has a different perspective on wheels and how they like things!

Whoa, two weeks... Count me in!!!
