New wheels VMR V810s



Specs:
18x8.5 et35F
18x9.5 et33R

Initially ordered Matte Black V710s from ECSTuning, they screwed me over, 2 day shipping became 3 weeks of waiting and no wheels. I'm sure a lot of people have had great experience with ECS, but for me not so much. After that 3 week wait, my wheel temptation had to be released so I went straight to mdbargains. Kirk told me the V710s were out of stock unlike *cough* ECSTuning *cough*, but told me he could hook me up with the newer and lighter V810s at a great deal and so here they are.

Looking forward to putting them on tomorrow to see how it looks like on the car.

Not quite the same price, but they're definitely good value for what you get.

Just installed them, sorry for the low quality phone pic. Tires are stock 18 specs, 225/255. This photo doesn't do it justice, looks real aggressive in person despite the lack of concave, exceeded my expectations. BMW Caps fit right in too. The gunmetal finish looks superb, have yet to find a significant imperfection on the finish, +1 for VMR.
Only problem I had was steering wheel vibration going past 60mph, probably a bad job on the balancing part so I'm bringing it back to check tomorrow.

The wheels are definitely a lot lighter than stock, can't really comment on how it balanced because im still having issues. I noticed the right front wheel has no wheel weights on it, not sure if its perfectly balanced already or if its the reason for my steering wheel vibration.

There's a chance that it could have balanced out without needing weights, but I'd say that in general that's fairly rare. Were your tires Road Forced?
