VMR 710 vs Forgestar CF5V

I'm thinking to buy a new set of wheels.

VMR 710
19X9.5
19X10

Forgestar CF5V
19X9.5
19X11

I don't think VMR 710 comes in 19X11. Which would you guys go for? Thanks in advance!

The forgestar should be stronger and a little lighter.. The vmr's are gravity cast which is not as good as OEM (spun cast or forged). Out of the two I'd go forgestar.. it's a shame because vmr has some nice designs.. if the vb3's were stronger and lighter I'd buy a set.

Forgestar for me also, going 19x10-25 and 19x11-31 with brushed tinted finish. I like the VMR but they are heavy. The forgestar is a better quality also.

Forgestar for sure. CF5V is actually what I am looking at too!

Forgestar hands down. That's a sick wheel. Almost got them, went square 19x10 zcp instead.

This really isn't even a contest, Forgestar all the way, probably as good or if not better than OEM while the VMRs you mentioned IMHO would be a step back.

I bought a set of the cv5f off a member on here and love them. Nice quality and I think the design fits the M3 very well.

I am going CF5V as well, what size and offsets should I be running with H&R springs as the only suspension mod? Ideally I would like to run 19" rims and go 265/285. Would appreciate any guidance.

+1 Forgestars are flow formed (> gravity). But on another note I do believe VMR has 19x11 710s.
