Hey everyone, I've finally decided to get new wheels. I'm in college now so I decided to hold off until summer, which is in a month or two, so I'm juiced. There are a few wheels I'm considering, and I just wanted your guys' opinion on some of my choices. I'm gonna keep my rubber and get some 18's to save some money, since theres a lot of tread left on them. I think I want to go with a darker color to complement my dark tint and trim. BTW, my car is space grey. Please give me some feedback on what you think of the color, quality, company, style, etc.I know they're all pretty similar and familiar models but I have some pictures in case some of you forgot


Option 1: VMR VB3 Hyperblack (seem pretty cool)

Option 2: VMR VB3 Matte Black

Option 3: VMR V710 Matte Black

Option 4: Miro 935/111 Matte Black (might be leaning towards these because I might have a deal)

Option 4: any of the wheels above in a different color (Silver, gunmetal, etc) OR a miscellaneous suggestion in a similar price range


Thanks!

in person, the 111's are the most impressive of the bunch IMHO

VB3's are very nice too

Didn't you just finally sell a set of brand new VMR's or something? Hopefully you mount this set of wheels this time.

Click on my gallery to see the VB3's in hyperblack. Mine are staggered 19's. Excellent wheel choice for silver/grey e60's

The VB3 in hyperblack looks like a winner to me .

However, I would HIGHLY recommend getting a size bigger than 18''. For aftermarket wheels especially, it would look oddly small. You should wait until you find a good used set on the forums with tires which is usually a 20%-50% discount over what it costs new. I would keep looking there until you plan on buying new wheels in a few months and if you can't find any then pull the trigger on 18''s.
