new M3 competiton wheels compared to V718's

brandon @ eas · 02-12-2010, 02:51 PM

Here are some shots showing the difference between the new 2011 BMW Competition wheels, and the new V718's

SUB-ZERO · 02-12-2010, 03:09 PM

I wonder what the weight difference would be. I wish the VMRs had the little square for the M logo cast into the rim.

I gotta be honest, I like the V718s... way better.

Gotta admit the VMRs look better than the OEMs.

Such as the forged RAC RG63's, HRE P40's, or the cast AluFelgen SF-71.

Yeah, but the V718s aren't exactly light

Built to BMW OEM durability specs, the cast ZCP will carry some weight.

rjd598 · 02-12-2010, 04:19 PM

similar but u can tell the difference

BMW269 · 02-12-2010, 04:33 PM

I prefere OEM, but only because it is OEM. I can't judge. But if to judge at looks only, Breyton Race GTS are the BEST OF ALL RIMS FOR M3.

tunawi7cheese · 02-12-2010, 04:52 PM

what's the difference between V718 and CSL?

E90330iS · 02-12-2010, 04:58 PM

looks good

V718 has sharp edged spokes, and the lip is the machined style like the V710, V701, V713 all have

LemonOne · 02-12-2010, 05:58 PM

OEM for me.

Kyoshi71 · 02-12-2010, 06:55 PM

718's better

I must agree with you here, these look great.

I like V718 better.

So the ZCP package relocates the caliber to the front side instead of behind the rotor? Or it is just a markup non-production unit?

A-Man · 02-13-2010, 01:44 AM

V718's look nice.. But OEM for me..

RAC vs. those two...no comparison!!! Stock vs. VMR...i like the look of the VMR more...but i'm sure the OEM quality wins hands down.
