Finally after about 4 months, I have finally pulled the trigger on a set of wheels. 19inch VMR V710s, powdercoated satin black. 9.5 and 8.5.

Got a really good deal on them, the deal included fairly new rubber, TPMS, and BMW center caps

Maybe this will finally shut up C

Enjoy:

How come your not a fan? Quality wise? Pot holes down here are virtually non-existent so I am not too worried...

Wheels came with OEM Michelin PS2's

Thanks John! Yea I know hahaha I am not going to mess with the suspension though...the Electronic Dampening Control is really bitchy when it comes to springs/coilovers....way too expensive to get it right...

Nice "bus" you got there. Must be of the short kind. The satin black wheels are awesome, just like velcro shoes.

TGIF!!! 2 more hours for me and I'm free..

Not really an issue quality wise, just i had VMRs and they were very heavy and Im just not a fan of cast wheels anymore, especially on the M cars.

Ive always thought if you were getting an M series, some custom forged wheels was the only way to go since the car you are putting the wheels on should have just as nice of wheels to reflect how nice the car is.

ADV.1 wheels is a great example of that but to be fair they do cost 4k. If you can afford an M then you can afford those types of wheels IMHO

Well, I can't afford the M, my Dad can though. And since I pay for my mods, I didn't want to spend more than I could get for my OEM 18's wheels.
I'm actually going to make a profit with this deal, I should be able to sell my OEM wheels for 1800....also the VMR wheels are heavy, but the OEM wheels are actually cast also and don't weigh any less...
