Yeah, what do you think? Should I go for it?
No, I like the RAD's over John's VIP's. If you can get John to sell you his HRE's, that's a different story .

John's not selling his HRE's. I was kidding. He just got them recently.

I agree with C. Keep the R10s instead of switching for the VIPs.

Haha yea I still love my Rads. I told Darwin that I wanted to repaint my wheels flat black but he told me to get John's instead since it would roughly cost the same.
I'm still unsure whether or not I should sell them

Hey tony, do you know if the VIPs are lighter/better quality than the Rads? Since the VIPs came from an M5 would it fit my 550 perfectly or do i need any modification to it?

I think they're about the same weight but maybe you can double check if you take of your R10s. The 20x9 VIP was 31.7lbs! I didn't get a chance to weight the rears.

As for fitment, the front on the M5s have a more aggressive offset due in part to the wider front fenders. I'm thinking the front wheels would stick out on your car. Check with Darwin.

Allright thanks tony Right now i'm still undecided about changing the wheels. So I need the experts to chime in their opinion.

Oh btw, what are the weight of your HRE's wheels again?

My wheels are 360 Forged, not HREs. They weight 27.4lbs in the front and 26.4lbs in the rear. I'm actually going to send them back to 360 Forged in a few weeks to get titanium fasteners installed to shave a couple more lbs off.
