Didn't have much time to take any photos after mounting them (i'll be taking more pics soon). Here is a comparison. I know its not a great representation because of the lens I was using but you should still see the difference in the concavity. I also wanted to have more sidewall which I was able to achieve as well. Oh and this is on stock sport suspension.
Before: 19x9.5 - 275/30/19
After: 19x10 - 285/30/19
Before: 19x9.5 - 275/30/19
After: 19x10 - 285/30/19
what tyres did you use to get more sidewall
love to see the hole car with these wheels.

I am not a happy man
I odered the rims VB3 19x8.5 and 19x10 hyper black and after 8 weeks of waiting they did not make them or ship them out.
I ordered it from acuteperformance as every 1 knows he is a good guy and very helpful and I know it not his fault, it 100% VMR fault when they got the money and order form and did not make the wheels for me.
SO my advice is if the VMR wheel is not in-stock don't put a deposit down
so I am getting a full refund and now I will have to go to plan B which is to get the Breyton Race GTS
19x8.5 Breyton Race GTS Matte Grey
19x9.5 Breyton Race GTS Matte Grey
Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 245/40-19
Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 265/35-19
it cost about $400 more than the VB3 but the shop has them in stock and ready to ship now.

I know you made your choice already, but 710's just look simply clean. They look like HRE monoblock P40's. I

sorry to hear about the trouble. also if VMR wasnt in stock, another option would be the Avant Garde's. specifically the M310s are another option we carry for a replica of the HRE P40s.
