is there a way to tell what brand of wheels are on this car for sale?

dibxna · 01-05-2013, 02:45 PM

going to look at this car for sale but these look to me like VMR V710s or another cast wheel. The car is a 3 owner 2011 vehicle with competition package so i'm having a hard time grasping why someone would remove forged wheels for cast.

any feedback is appreciated as I am going in an hour.

trying to figure out the brand and if its forged...

Look like VMR V710's...I have a set, and they have no markings on them at all...

Last I had heard, the ZCP wheels are not forged, despite what BMW says. Not sure if this is true though. I agree those look like VMRs although there are a lot of similar wheels out there.

FYI comp wheels are cast and polished 19s are forged!

and there's nothing wrong w/ a cast wheel. I don't think those are VMR either as the VMR spokes are rounder at the end. That wheels also has a little lip but I don't know

They aren't but they are quality cast by BBS..That makes all the difference. I have held the ZCPs in my hand, for a cast wheel, its impressive how light they are
