Had my eyes set on the Miro M6s, but it seems like everyone has 'em these days. I dunno about this one, I haven't seen many people talk about these. Seems like they'll fit on the xi with the 45 offsets. Wish I could see how they looked on our cars though. Pricing too. VMRs are kinda pricey, aren't they? 18's should cost me about $1000?

Nice wheels. I'd be interested to see them on E60 as well.

VMRs pricey? Not even close. A full set of wheels for $1K is pretty darn cheap. I have a set of Matte black 710s and love them.

yes VMRs I wouldnt consider pricey either, but they are good quality. with us, most popular has been the VB3s (in different finishes as well), then then 710s following closely. still have yet to put on the 713s on an e60

Am I wrong in seeing a similarity to the M5 wheels? The spoke count is different, but it still looks alot like it.

And you've seen them on M3s but not E60s because they'll end up looking bad? I thought they looked good, so I'm hoping others don't see it in a different light.

They have the same concave look as the M5 166 in a way. I don't think they will look bad on an E60 as long as you get the right size (19"-20") I would love to see them mounted actually.

Dooo eeettttt!!!

I have a feeling these will look smaller on an e60...even if they are 19"s they'd look like 18"s....

IMO, they do not look like 166's

Well, here's a pic of the wheels on a 330i sedan, which I realize is smaller than my 535, but still, a good ballpark of what it will look like?
