It honestly looks better in person, my pics are taken with an iphone and the concave is really hard to see in photos. I always seem to get an opticle illusion that makes the camber look all wacked when it really isnt.I'm curious if the wheels will sit a little different in spring, these pics were after lowering without an aligment.

The 19x10's looks hot. It's easy to see how much more concave they are than the 9.5's. 
I wish VMR made their other wheels in the same size

I'm guessing you're running 285's in the back, right?

Good thread. Add me to the list of xi owners. 
Anyone tried E90 style 313 wheels? offset is 37mm front and 39mm rear. 8J x 19 225/35 R19Y front; 9J x 19 255/30 R19Y rear.
I had 38mm offset M6 reps before on xi.

Is it true that Miros tend to crack more than VMRs? They are both gravity cast wheels but I've read that some have had not so good experience with Miro wheels. On the other hand, VMR customers are almost always satisfied.

i'd be curious to hear your experience thus far, including ride comfort etc. I've heard they are somewhat "bouncy" as well?
springs are relatively inexpensive solution to the 4x4 look, but I've read the horror stories on here with one guy using a razor to cut his bump stops
obviously, would prefer not to get into that mess
thanks for sharing
