Ok..

I have it boiled down to Miro 111's or VMR710's

Here is the choice to make:


The Miro 111's are et 33 which will be very agressive on my XI 535 2008. Also they are matte black against my Charcol Gray car.

The VMR 710's are et 35 and 45 which will be less agressive and are gunmetal gray.

I like both wheels, any pictures on how these will look against these colors and which wheel I should go with?

I plan on running a staggered setup on both, 245,35,19 in front and 275,30,19 in rear.....Can these wheels and tires handle PA roads at this sidewall?

Sure you can. I'm doing it, as well as many others. BMW's style 124 18" upgrade from the dealer/factory is staggered.

Hi folks, and sorry for resurrecting an old topic but it's that time of the year and I definitely need a new set of rims and summer tires.

Again like the OP, I am down to two...Miro 111 or VMR710.

From the responses it looks like a 50/50 split in terms of recommendations, Bimmian which is a 20 minute drive from me has the VMR's, no one here sells Miro's which suck, because I want to see them physically on a car before I commit.

I am also torn on the colour, I have a black 545i, thinking silver would give the car a nice contrast, since I'm going for a staggered 19" set.

Anyone knows who sells Miro's in around the Toronto area?

Thanks
