Help on wheels please ! VMR versus RIVA

billypopo · 04-23-2014, 07:57 PM

Ok guys..first of all, I can't decide between 18'' VMR V710, or 19'' RIVA MX7. (Both on 1010tires.com). The roads here in Quebec are pretty bad, but I'm wondering if a 8mm change in sidewall height would really be noticeable on the rim durability. (I would run 225/40 on 18'' or 235/35 on 19''). I don't want my rim to crack or bend on the first pothole...

And I can't decide either between hyper silver or gunmetal. My car is a 328xi, sedan, alpine white, stock suspension (and I don't want to drop it, at least for now..)

See both rims here :

If you have bad roads stick to the 18" V710 wheels

If you want pricing or have anymore questions you can always PM me

If the roads are bad, I would also recommend 18s over 19s. Just having that extra bit of rubber cushion will help keep your wheels true.

We're always here, along with our dealers, so if you ever need any help with ordering a set of our wheels, that's an added bonus for you. Not too sure about how many wheel manufacturers do that for their customers, so keep that in mind.

If you have bad roads don't even bother with cast wheels.

Look at apex, forgestar, or vmr v810's. These are flow formed wheels.

18's
