VMR VB3 10" or V718? e90 sedan

Hi Guys,

i've done quite a bit of research into buying wheels, and am about to pull the trigger on a set of VMR's. Just looking for some quick opinions. What would you rather see on a Sparkling Graphite e90 sedan for the rear:

VMR VB3 19x10
VMR V718 19x9.5

So the question basically comes down to, 19x10 for the concavity, or 19x9.5 for a refreshed look on the v718's. I like the v718's cause the design makes the spokes look longer, hence wheels look bigger. But damn, 19x10 on vb3's have wicked concavity.

btw, going to run 245/35/19 on front, and 275/30/19 on back with minimal drop (1.5" on eibach prokit). pre-lci.

vb3 on left, v718 on right

The 19x10 concave rear is pretty hard to beat IMO. It ultimately comes down to personal preference but the CSLs are a classic look and a super concave rear works really well on these cars.

how much less concave would a 19x9.5 v718 be compared to 19x10 vb3 or even a 19x9.5 vb3?
