Feedback on VMR 710's

ASBSECU E93 · 07-02-2015, 10:19 AM

Thinking about the following set up on my Space Grey E93 M:

VMR 710 19x9.5" ET22/19x11" in Gunmetal...

Anyone else have this set-up? Thoughts or feedback...

1MOREMOD · 07-02-2015, 10:21 AM

I had a set of 19x9.5 on my e90 m3 for a while. Like the look but they are heavy. Have a look at apex ec7 for similar look but stronger and lighter. Now are in 19s also.

I have found a OEM set of 220's on the cheap - was thinking about powder coating them...could add spacers for a more aggressive look...thoughts?

That's a good option just comes down to being willing to run spacers as well as being limited to stockish sized tires.

EC7's for the win!

ASBSECU E93 · 07-02-2015, 10:32 AM

Thanks - I'm not unhappy with the stock rim, just want a little different color scheme and possibly a more aggressive stance as I'll be doing a little cosmetic modding (Black kidney grills, smoked reflectors, etc...)

I have 2 sets of ec7 for track and have been happy with them. Just got a set of ffd Motorsport evo2 also

In your experience, an issue with running a wider tire on the front or rear with these cars?

1MOREMOD · 07-02-2015, 11:25 AM

I ran square set up so wider front. Iike this set up as it allowed rotation front to back to even wear as well as reduced understeer.

ASBSECU E93 · 07-02-2015, 11:41 AM

So - What width did you use for your setup?

1MOREMOD · 07-02-2015, 11:44 AM

At the time I had 19s so had to go 265-30-19 all around so fronts wouldn't rub. Was using ad08s so those have square shoulder a pss or something may fit 275 up front.

ASBSECU E93 · 07-02-2015, 11:49 AM

19x9.5 or 10?

1MOREMOD · 07-02-2015, 11:51 AM

9.5, but went to 18x10 and liked much better lower weight, allow wider tire more easily.

I am running the VMR V810 in 19X10 ET25 and 19X11 ET25. They are a flow formed like Forgestar. They are quite a bit lighter and stronger than the V710's but they are also more expensive. They will set you back about the same as a Forgestar wheel without the wait though.

Here is the blog on my car from EAS.

checking in to see what wheels you ended up going with

hopefully you got a chance to check out our Flow Formed lineup (V710FF, V803, V804, V810) designed for weight reduction and added strength! great for street and track use!
