Used set of oem would be my pick over replicas.

THE TECH · 10-06-2011, 08:57 AM

I would also opt for the OEM over the replicas if the budget worked.

Try EAS. They sell the wheels in black (http://www.europeanautosource.com/pr...s-wheel-e9x-m3), and I'm pretty sure that they will ship to Canada.

You should talk to EAS. I believe they are the BMW OEM ZCP wheels that EAS has powder coated by a local (to them) company.

what you guys think about VMR - 19" VB3 Wheel ??

New_m3 · 10-10-2011, 05:02 PM

I've heard some bad reviews about VMR wheels. Some people complain about the finish and cracking. Though they are cheap!

They are low cost and do meet JWL/VIA, but they are gravity cast and are relatively heavy. The finish issues are old news (I think). They said that they improved the finish a while back. It's been a long time since I've read any complaints about the finish on VMR's here. A strong gravity cast wheel is going to tend to fail by cracking (if it takes a big hit) as it will generally have a lower percentage of elongation in the material before failure than other manufacturing methods (low pressure casting, flow forming, forged).

They appear to be a good value for the cost (with the caveats listed above).
