I've been wheel shopping for a month now and can't make up my mind what I want. I know, I know, I'm picky. Are there any pics floating around of an E60 with VM V715's? I've searched but can't seem to find any. Thanks

Glad you brought this up. First off, these wheels are brand new which is why you probably couldn't find them when searching. Second, I actually talked to Gideon (Sales Manager at Velocity Motoring) last week about these wheels. I got my VB-3's from him. The down side to these wheels is that due to the deep dish build, the wheels actually look smaller than 19's. They have the appearance of 18's, even though they are 19's. There was a member on here that almost went with them (rjcastr), but after seeing them in person, decided he didn't want them. Here are few pix that Gideon sent me of these wheels on some cars. No E60's, but it should give you an idea.

Here you go. Good luck with your search. I know how it can be. It took me 6 months!

PS - The first set is in Hyper Black, which I don't believe they have anymore. They only have them in Silver, which is the last picture. Personally, I think Hyper Black looks the best, which makes me wonder why they didn't make more in this color. But give Gideon a call. He's a great guy.

Thanks C. That's just the kind of info I was looking for. That's a shame that they don't have any hyper black left...IMHO they look much better than the silver. Now that leaves the issue of looking smaller than 19's. It's hard to tell in those pics because they are on a 3, but I know what you are saying. To me, any wheel that has spokes that don't go all the way to the outside of the rim looks smaller than they actually are. These wheels in hyper black and in 20"....mmmmm.

They also look smaller because if you pay attention the spokes(mesh) part isn't flat (straight up and down) it protrudes outward. The MRR GT-1 has the same problem, so it looks smaller than it really is, plus factoring in the size of the lip

Yep, convex wheels tend to look a little smaller than concave wheels.

It'll also probably look "better" if your car is lowered as it'll look like it's filling out the wheelwell. These wheels in 19s on the stock ride height will definitely look small.

I'm considering getting 06 with sport package and one of the first mods I would like to make is the wheels. These look very nice. What is their construction? The description said something about polished stainless lip, but I was hoping to get something in forged aluminum. Also, whats the price?
