I'm about to pull the trigger on a new set of V710's
but have recently heard about a chipping and/or
flaking problem with the finish.
This is a major concern for me.
Has anyone had them for an extended period of time?
How do you feel about them?
How do they look now?

Don't do it on a 550i....you have better options. 
My finish sucked on my VMR VB-3's...flaked, chipped and uneven paint and metal surface of rims.

So far so good here yep. :bitenails:
Do you feel confident with them when driving real hard?
Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

My Ride: It's an E60 545I 6 speed.
Fit seems fine to me, I would like the fronts out a bit more though. I've driving pretty hard all over, and I feel safe with them.
