My Ride: 08' 535XI Monaco Blue
Default

So I've been considering buying new rims for my 535xi. I live in NYC and I've been thinking about ordering the Miro 111 rims. There are potholes all over and I do understand that if driving fast into a pothole leads to bending a rim. I just want to know the quality of Miro 111 rims if any owners or people knowledgable of the rims know the quality of it and if it is a good idea to follow through with ordering Miro 111's. VMR V710's have also caught my attention however I like the Miro 111 rims more. Please help me out, thanks.

I also own a 535xi and live in queens,ny. Miro 111's are really soft rims, I have gone thru so many rims but I continue using them cause I like how they look. In the end any Pot hole will bend or crack your rim.

So is it worth buying the Miro's or are the VMR V7 10's beter quality because they kind of do look the same, I just don't want to spend money on rims that im constantly going to have to keep changing because they bend easily. Is it worth getting the Miro's?

That looks dope man, they look nice on the E60 just a little nervous i been saving up for rims, I don't make much to be replacing them that often i spend to much on having a good time in college haha...Thats why im asking if its worth investing in Miro's.

Oh damn, see I been saving up for a while now for rims for the car, I know any pothole will crack a rim, you can only avoid them until u always miss that one u didnt see but, I don't really speed around in NY only like if im on fresh pavement upstate, Im just afraid of saving up money and buying the whole set up and then end up bending a rim cause the quality is poor.

Haha. Love that photo. You know when they show people smile in a movie or cartoon or whatever and their tooth does a sparkle and then it goes ding(!)...well, that's what it looks like your car is doing in that photo. You can even hear the ding(!) sound if you look close enough! Right on. Looks great!
