Vote!

My only concern is that the VMR's will look to small in 19" with the lip!

Anyone good with photoshop?

That black VMR 710, powder-coated option is calling your name.

Honestly Rocky - I like the Miro's over those 710's. Why? Well, a few reasons. Let's list them out:


1. I do NOT like the tiny edged lip around the circumference of any wheel. I like a smooth edge. To me, a tiny lip means the mold to create the wheel was done cheaply. I know the HRE's have that tiny lip too, but it just doesn't do it for me.
2. Member amitmillhonda just put the SAME Miro's on his AW 550 this week. I was with him yesterday at the meet and we cruised together on the way home. His wheels looks SICK when the car is moving. And his wheels look SICK when the car is standing still. It's a classic look and I've always loved the M6 wheels on the E60. As everyone knows, I absolutely hate the M5 wheels, but the M6 wheels are great.
3. There is just something about that wheel that looks off. It looks like a cheap copy of the Neez wheels.
4. If you are going to do a mesh wheel, I much prefer the VB-3's from VMR in Gunmetal.

Anyway, my vote is to keep the Miro's. I don't like the 710's. I thought I did, but after looking at them more closely, I definitely do not. :thumbsdown:

Thanks C', I do love my 346's!

I thought for sure you'd be down for the V710's since you had the CSL's on you're 530. The outter lip is so similar to the CSL's.. now you have me second guessing..

They would be so much nicer w/o the lip.. one of my main concern's is that they'll look more like 18's with it!

The vote's are tied up, hopefully tomorrow they'll be a bit more mixed!

Decisions, decisions
