That's what you are looking at on mine and on C's black xi: 19X8.5" ET40 front, 19X9.5" ET45 rears. Gideon at VM hooked up both C and me. There are no rubbing issues, etc...perfect fit.

Perfect! Yea, I just spoke with Gideon and he told me the same. However, our 19x9.5 +33 may also work too. It'll bring the wheel and tire out a tad more...making it pretty flush. We won't be getting those in until March. I'll keep you guys updated!
I believe DrLev99 has Silver and if you look at his wheels compared to mine, you can see the hue's of black inside the spokes of my wheels.

VM,
Two words for improving your product: Powder Coating!
It would also be nice if you could provide some touch-up paint for your clients. Gideon said he could not get me any at all. :thumbsdown: I know you guys are just distributors, but still, come on...
I have also had some flaking issues on my rims due to very, very minor contact with the lug wrench and got some flaking when my dealer had to change a flat and after wheel balancing, even after I told my SA to be extremely careful. I had to send one rim back to VM, which was replaced by warranty due to this issue. This is be the main thing I tell folks about when they inquire about my rims. I say, "Be EXTREMELY careful when working on these rims, and tell your mechanic or SA the same."
I even had to wrap the end of my lug wrench in duct tape to prevent scratching the lug openings. I had to touch-up quite a few areas around one hub opening as well (after a wheel balance). I don't mean to take a dump on your product, but the finish is an issue...at least for me it has been. The wheels themselves are great...just wish you powder-coated them.

Great looking wheels. any chance of getting the VB3 CSL wheels in 20"?
Unfortunately, we do not have any plans to produce the VB3 wheels in 20".
Some updates on the standard E60 offset wheels - they will be in March 27th! Contact me for pre-order details! Low offset VB3s on their way!
