Should I wait for the matte black one or get the MRR GT-7 in silver or Miro 111 in Machined silver? The price difference is the MRR's are only $65 for the set which is no big deal.





There's no ETA on the MRR's and a 3 week wait from Miro for the Matte black.

The GT-7's are more unique and give a nice combo of concavity AND lip. Very nice.

I had a similar predicament about a month ago. I wanted the VMR v718's in matte black, but they were on back order until August, and I needed the wheels asap.
So, I bought the same set, but in the silver color, and just took them to get powder coated matte black.
Honestly, they turned out great, and I couldn't be happier.

If you can't wait that long for the wheels, and don't mind spending an extra couple hundred dollars, then powder coating is the way to go.

Those MRR's are dope! Black would be even sicker.

Even though I'm only getting 19's? I'm afraid that if I get 19's with a lip, it would look smaller than it is. I would get 20's but MRR do not have the offset for my Xi.

This is what the matte black looks like.

Yes even with 19's I'd say get the MRR's (especially in black, that looks hot!!!). They look fine in 19" with a lip, ask redEYEjedi, he has 19" BBS LM's with a nice lip and they look badass on his car

Also be careful about the Miro's a few members have reproted vibration even when using hubcentric rings with them.
