wheel check

rdoctor · 01-08-2014, 09:11 PM

Mods, please move to wheels forum.

Can one of you wheel experts please tell me what wheels these are? I really like this look of bronze on JB. Thx.

GreatWhite · 01-08-2014, 11:11 PM

My guess is VMR.

mf3st · 01-08-2014, 11:30 PM

VMR

rjd598 · 01-08-2014, 11:59 PM

Vmr most likely

RezTTU · 01-09-2014, 09:39 AM

I believe they are VMR V710s powdercoated satin bronze. I asked fifthstreet about them before, they look badass on his car.

VMR V710

I agree...they do look badass on JB. Thanks for all the replies...

BobS · 01-09-2014, 09:39 PM

Those wheels look great, I agree OP. The only issues with VMR's is how heavy they are....

MiscExpense · 01-09-2014, 11:30 PM

OP, Bob nailed it with how heavy they are, because of that exact picture I bought a set from EAS but the weight was not worth the trade. This last change I went with BBS Ch-r in matte titanium and ring delete. You get a timeless aggressive look and a low weight. EAS sent me one of the below photos to give me a comparison. My .02

1MOREMOD · 01-09-2014, 11:38 PM

Vmr's are heavy made the mistake and still have them as my wet wheel. Thought chr's weren't any better?

BobS · 01-10-2014, 04:38 AM

You don't want to put heavy wheels on your m3, it's robbing performance. Ch-r's arent the lightest wheel out there but they aren't as heavy as vmr, and are pretty strong so they hold up well against bad roads.

OP- do some research on wheels you like and the weight, try not to go heavier than stock, you can find any wheel weight with google or searching here, there are a lot of threads on the subject

Thanks for the feedback guys. The CH-R's in the Titanium finish are already on my short list but the bronze set up in my original post really caught my eye. The CH-R's also seem to have a better offsets for e92 M3's. Maybe I'll look into the idea of getting CH-R's powder coated satin bronze

grantmax · 01-10-2014, 05:00 PM

Since when did the e9x world get into VMR? Please don't tell me its "replica wheel time" already.

OP - Get a set of OEM ZCP wheels, powerdercoat them satin bronze, wins for days.

That would be very unique! I had CH-R's on my 335 and got tons of compliments. THey are a classic wheel that doesn't go out of style. If the concave look is your thing, the M3 has great offsets for it. The CH-R on the m3 isn't very concave.

Personally, I fell in love with the looks of 18 inch wheels with a meaty tire, so i'm running Morr vs70's, 18x10.5 square set up.

Thats not my car, but I run the exact same setup.

Beware, once you get aftermarket wheels, you'll probably want to drop the car to complete the look....but thats for a new thread

This isn't an M3, rather a 335, so there won't be much of the car on this board. Great looking car... EAS did the work, here is a link to the build:

BobS · 01-10-2014, 07:22 PM

Its also a wide body / flared fender 335 so the offsets are the wheels are closer to m3 or possibly m3 offsets ( i can't remember)

They are probably VMR V710s but they could also possibly be Avant Garde M310s.
