New VMR's...please confirm!

roho3323 · 05-02-2008, 06:40 PM

Hey guys. I saw these in another post and I am DYING to know if this is for real.

Anyone with details regarding this pic?

solefald · 05-02-2008, 06:57 PM

after spending about 10 min comparing this one and a photo of VMR VB3 side by side, i can say they look pretty damn identical, except for the part where spokes connect to the rim. These are raised and VB3's are flush... and the center maybe sitting a little deeper in these but i can't say for sure

These are not identical at all... the VMR VB3 is an 8 Spoke design, compared to these 7 spoke...these are very similar to the new MORR vs8 and the NeeZ Qd7.

These look even MORE concave than MORR and NeeZ and since they are VMR... more than half the price of their forged conterparts.

This look identical to a HRE P40 wheel with added concavity. The V710and the P40 both have the spokes running all the way to the edge as you see in the photo while the VS8 and the QD7 have the spokes ending at the outer rim for better structural rigidity.

HRE P40:

$6 each...something you could get around pretty easy.

Park2670 · 05-02-2008, 11:05 PM

That post of VMR has quite a few mistakes. The OEM 19 on the M3 is 19x8.5 front 19x9.5 rear with 245/265. Opposed to them saying its 19x8 with a 235.

Other than that, I REALLY like these. Very nice looking wheel.

Here's a closeup of that wheel on the e92 M3 we're performing a full buildup on:

Thanks to VMR for allowing us to be part of the debut process. More pictures to come shortly.

Hey Tom, are the offsets still in the planning stage or would there be a possibility of 40ET for 9.5x19 being produced? Thanks.

The wheels that were at the show were prototypes, we're working with VMR on final specs throughout the BMW lineup - including the new M3.

VMR will be able to chime in with specs once production is given the green light.

That's great news, I'd love to be able to run the following & lower my ride 1" from ZSP height without rubbing:

8.5x19, 35ET, 245/35-19 (front)
9.5x19, 40ET, 275/30-19 (rear)

Since the pictures on the M3s were prototypes, offsets are still being determined. We'll have more info shortly.

Malek@MRF · 05-05-2008, 11:21 AM

Ide like a 28 MM offset with a 9.5 rear please
