4-5 weeks. That's pretty fast for fully customizable wheels. Here's the link to my teaser: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=285288

VMR V715: These wheels are definitely very nice, they are made in a differently, they go through low pressure cast manufacturing process. The wheels will be unfortunately a bit heavier.
Two problems with your post.

1. Forgestar are NOT made using the same technology as F1 wheels. Forgestar are flow-formed (which is great BTW), however, F1 wheels use multi-directional net forging which is in no way similar to F1 technology...

2. VMR wheels are gravity cast, not low-pressure cast.
