i hate the Miro's.... they crack easily depending on where you live.. anyone who knows me and how i drive and my car knows that im more careful then some of the men here. My Miro cracked! ill never get cheaper wheels again. I had it welded and it was fine, but no way. I have my stock wheels on my M3 in the winter and my BBS's in the summer. Forged all the way... im in New York, so the roads are kinda sucky, but overall if your careful you should be okay. And keep your eyeballs on the road

Thanks, I wonder how the VMR's are in comparison? I agree with forged, but then the price increases significantly.

I hear VMR paint flakes off relatively easily. Have you considered avant garde M310? They look similar to the VMR 710. Also, avant garde is low-pressure cast where VMR is just Gravity cast. BUT PLEASE DON'T QUOTE ME ON THAT!!!

Avant Garde is a nice rim but their service apparently is very bad...
