We don't have any on a stock suspension M3, but here is a set of gunmetal Advan RS on an AW e92 M3:





V701s on a non-M, but it should give you a good idea:

Pretty big difference in price/quality between the two.

I have owned VMR wheels before and they are OK but you get what you pay for in weight, finish and quality. The Advans are more money for sure but better quality. The finish on my VMRs was less than perfect from new and degraded quickly. They also weighed as much as a small pickup truck and were VERY hard to properly balance. The hardest wheel to balance I ever owned. They aren't bad value but definitely not a quality/weight leader by any stretch of the imagination.

quality meaning weight? should be price/performance if you put it that way. not quality cause VMR quality is pretty dam good.

Not in my experience. Finish and balancing, at least on the two sets I have owned, was subpar. Maybe I just got unlucky twice but I think this is a fairly wide spread sentiment. But, like I said, they are not a bad value proposition either way... just don't expect super high end quality IMO. They are a value wheel.

Here are some pics of my M with 18" Gunmetal Advan RS wheels with stock ride height. The ride height and wheel gap is bearable but not ideal. I ended up getting lowering springs after, for better looks but in the end still bought coils..

Guys, just wondering if I should paint 19" Dark Gunmetal Advan RS in Alpine White ... What do you think ? It should match with my 2008 E92 AW. Any though ?

not sure what you guys experienced with VMR but i've had 2 sets of vmrs with no problems at all. 19s and 18s. Paint quality is actually very good, I know cause I had a set stripped for full polish. They are heavy yes but thats to be expected with all cast wheels.
