For $1200 I expect paint not to come off!
"For $1200 what do you expect?"
I don't know, the paint not to fucking chip off for no apparent reason would be nice.
exactly what i was saying...
LMAO true
Ever since I got my 06 325i you have been my favorite bmw RUclipsr. You have helped me so much bro thanks for the content
+Danny Jr thanks! Im glad i could help!
Love the style of your videos. Everything feels silky smooth and the background music is great! If i ever plan to get an E90 i will come to you for advice!
+THE EXPERIMENT thank you!
Great video, Justin. very informative, and I appreciate your honest opinions on these wheels. I am buying a set of these for my new Lotus Evora for the track in a staggered (slightly smaller) size (18-19”) with Michelin Pilot SS’s. I’ve run cast wheels on the track before, and can’t notice a difference between the $1500/each forged OEM wheels in 19-20” sizes and smaller (much, much cheaper) cast wheels. Thanks again for the informative video!
You finally changed those rims! 👌🏼
have these on my 135i M. love them, haven't had any finish issues thankfully.
Great video as always. Bronze would look great! Especially paired with black sapphire metallic
Yeah that's the same color combo I had on my last car and I loved it!

Hi Justin, wondering if you can share the specs of the tires you mounted on those wheels, did you went with stock 225 40 front and 255 35 rear? or you went wider? thanks in advance! I'm looking in getting the same staggered setup, but would love to go wider...
Bro... Another quality video very informative thanks 🙏
Thank you!
Perfect! I'm so glad I found this video,....as I had been looking for someone that stayed with "18" wheel size vs going to 19" wheels. Oh! I see these are for an e90,...and not for a F30 340! Great vid all the same....
Love your reviews!
Thanks for the honest review. I'll stick to the stock Bimmer rims since they are probably more quality. Even if they don't look as cool. I'll save more money down the road for more quality rims.
Love your videos man, thinking about new wheels and the VMR V810s would look good on my car...Just gotta figure out the sizes as I don't know too much about the fitment :D
I've just fitted a similar set of staggered 19" CSL replica wheels in matt grey with the aggressive ET35 front offset - with the state of the roads here in the UK, probably won't be long till they end up battered and bruised! Your set actually looks in great condition for 2 years use as a DD. After 2 years in the UK driving, even forged wheels would end up looking like minecraft blocks ;)
+1 for brutal honesty
Nice review man. I really like those wheels! I use chemical guys Max Coat wheel guard which is a sealant. Shines them up amazingly. I wonder if you applied something like this will.it help prolong your clear coat.....
I'd go for 'Hyper Silver' wheels colour, would look great!
I like how honest just don't start click baiting
Damn tough luck on the paint chipping off. I had my V710's in gunmetal for about 5 years now and no paint chips or discoloration at all. However, mine are powder coated and this was standard for these wheels back then but, I guess that is a luxury now for VMR. The powder coat is insanely good, I would highly recommend it. Plus, these wheels are lighter than my stock E46 wheels.
Thanks for the help. Planning to get these rims soon.
no problem
I don't have VMR's. I don't even own a BMW. But I DO enjoy the quality content on your channel! xD
Also, your relaxed ("laid-back") attitude is a breath of fresh air here on the automotive side of RUclips.
Keep up the good work!
Thank you I appreciate that! Yeah I know what you mean, some guys are like on the edge of their seat the whole time. I just chill and make videos 8)
Just decided what kind of wheels i want! thanks justin!
+Matt Miller my pleasure!
was thinking about getting a set of these for my e90 but im leaning toward apex ec7s now. good vid!
Why Apex? Did you get them yet? Any feedback?
Nice video! I would go with the bronze color.
I like the color of yours.. I have them in matte black and I had some minor flake as well
I just got a new set of 710 s and they are really nice they come alive when it is sunny I ordered them to be powder coated Moonlit Bronze and had them do the off set so the rears are pretty much flush with the body and front s also but they were a staggered fit for my Mercedes.
I noticed you are using the BMW center caps. Are they the OEM caps?
Great video Justin! If you're ever in Boston, give me a shout
Dude you're from Michigan huh, kool Me too. Kool vids man
Great job! keep doing
Form France
Thank you! From Detroit
Hey Justin, I have a stock set up on my e90 330i at the moment. Can I put these wheels straight on without any mods to the suspension/any spacers being required. Also I have pretty much brand new 225/40/R18 tyres on the front and 255/30/R18 on the rear, will these go with the 18x8.5 front wheels and 18x9.5 rear wheels?
Love the rims.
Brooo. I got rid of my 328xi 09. And got a 2011 m3 yesterdayy!!
Awesome! How do you like it?
I love it. The power is beastly.
Upload some exhaust clips man I bet it sounds amazing
itszShellz those have no torque should have gotten a c63
and thats all its got, the M3 is the better overall package. The C63 doesn´t even have an LSD
What measurements do you drive on your e90? I mean rim width, offset, what tire width and height and do you have spacers on? I just ordered Wheels for my e90 here in germany and i am kinda curious if i need spacers and how the "fitment" with the fender is then. I really like your videos because i also daily drive a '05 E90. Keep up the good work :)
Matte Anthracite would look nice, in my perspective. Great video!
Thanks!
Awesome video
thanks!
Brake pad removal video and you'd be the GOAT of tutorial videos 👌🏼👍🏼
+Andrew Alvarez i have a video of replacing the brakes check out my DIY playlist on my channel :)
Crisp and clean, like it!
Thank you!
Hi Justine love your videos man but come if you come down to Miami in the little Havana area you'll change your mind about the worst roads lol
What size tires were you running when you had these? Thanks!
These are my favorite wheels
Live in Chicago, two sets (V810 and V708) already gone from VMR because them bent so easily.. had hard vibration over 50 mph.. no more VMR's!
Get them sandblasted and powder coated white or black. Gold would look decent as well.
Hi Justin. Realize this is a 5 year old video. One of the reasons you replaced these was the weight of cast 710s. I am looking at the 710ff flow formed in matt graphite as they will look good with my gray F30. Now I am replacing 437m wheels as I am tired of the poke and want flush. So …. Any thoughts 5 years later 710ff flow formed? Appreciate comments.
Best bmw content
Thanks!
The clear coat on those wheels and other in that range of price contains a hardner so it can dry super fast when they paint them. That means more rims to paint in the same amount of time that a "pro" paint would dry in optimum conditions. So yeah, being a super fast dry paint/clear coat it does not stick in all rim pores so it is like and hard transparent overlayer(not that flexible). You'll see on most aftermarket afordable rim brands that after a year the clearcoat starts to exfoliate...at first i tought that it has a plastic protection over it but i did some online research and that is what i found out about that paint. Cheers!
Yeah I thought it was something like that. They do have a 1 year warranty on the finish, but I had the issue right after the warranty ended. Figures.
Best RUclipsr 🚘
Thanks!
Have these on my 335i and they are sexy when clean and Amazing. Little on the pricey side around 1200$, I paid 700 Used. And they are a pain to clean.
Omg im kinda new to the channel my car looks exactly like yours mine is a 07 not sure what model yours is.
2006 330xi
Great job!
Thank you!
My first Scion 2004 xb had rims that bubbled and flaked. I think this was due to a combination of road salt exposure and the sea air. I live in a beach town in NY. I was also cleaning them with a stronger product than I should have. I recommend AMMO plum wheel cleaner. It seems to get the job done without being too harsh on the clear.
+randomviewmonitor i had cheap XXR's on my xb and didnt have any problems. I want to get that plum wheel cleaner though
I like you'r chanel. Would like to see a video about front lip / front splitters. Im getting one when the summer is coming. Greetings from Norway. :)
I just have a hard time purchasing a wheel on line and not being able to actually see it in person. I wish some where locally carried VMR so that I could compare different colors.
What tire size are you using?
Matte bronze would loook amazing on the gloss black car bro
please repaint them matte bronze! Awesome vid btw!
thanks!
+Justin Buice In retrospect are you happy with your 18s or do you sometimes wish you had the 19s?
Great Video! Bronze definitely- can you make a video on cleaning your interior? Thanks!
Thanks! Yes, I'll keep that in mind for a future video!
I want the v710s sooooo bad. Once I get these, our cars will literally be the exact same!!! #e90life
Did you need a TPMS installed or it’s not necessary?
I drive a 2011 328i and im looking to buy some VMR's. What is your fitment and tire size for the front and rear?
Zak Miller same. Did you find anything?
I just bought a 2007 328XI all wheel drive, it has stock wheels. What size can I go with 18" on the back and front? Does it has to be same size?
Do u know how to find the production date on a bmw rims?
I like your videos👍👍👍
Illinois has some nasty roads as well. Potholes that feel like they could swallow almost half your wheel if you aren't careful.
Your car is neat af!
Thanks!
will those fit well on a 2018 330i xdrive? if so with what tire set up?
Hey man . Did you have to attach a tpms sensor to the rim before you mounted it . And if you how did you get it to sync with your car so it doesn't throw a tire pressure code
+Dakaari Denton my car has the older style tire pressure monitoring that uses the ABS to detect a flat, so there is no sensor in the wheel itself. I think 2010 is when they switched to sensors in the wheel
The wheel speed sensor is what is used to determine a difference in tyre pressure. As soon as it sees a noticeable difference in a wheels speed in comparison to the others, it will throw a dash light.
Hey Justin, I recently just got an 08 bmw 328i, was looking on RUclips for what mods and tricks I can do to my car and I really liked what you been putting on you’re videos, great content and love the way you fix up you’re car looks sick. Keep it up. My one question I wanted to ask was that I want to get those vmr 710 you used to have on you’re bmw but wanted to know what offset would you prefer or what you had on you’re car and also the tire size for the rims? Don’t really know and was wondering if you could help a sub out. Thanks.
Adrian Martinez ever got an answer?
Bronze is a good look. I'm trying to find some wheels for my F30 just for looks though. would you recommend any more wheel brands???
Rotiform is another cool brand. They are known for their boutique 3 piece wheels that are made-to-order, but they also have a collection of affordable cast wheels that they mass produce.
Hey Justin could you please share your wheel/tire specs. I see a few people have made the same request. I'm undecided btw 18's or 19's. On one of you videos say you have 18's which look awesome on your car. Also wish you had close up video/photos forcusing on wheels/drop. Again your car looks awesome. love love the drop.
I can do a video on it :)
i'll have to go out and check the specs on the tires
How did u put your BMW wheel tag on the rims?
+Antoine Dieujuste i just took it off the stock wheels. They fit the same
Justin Buice thanks
vmr wheels are dope
Definitely a steal. Paint chip no problem, just powder coat it.
What size hub cap fits the VMR wheels?
Can't seem to find any to fit my 2008 528ii. Why?
Man I really want vmr v710 wheels on my B5 S4 but the paint flaking off kind of deters me.
Would you get the facelift tailights make it look bit more newer? Just my personal preference
I want to but you also have to replace the trunk which gets expensive.
Justin Buice Didn't know that, thought it would be same fitment like my e46, or maybe even the white smoked out
I will probably but red tint over the white part so the whole tail light is red
What size are they 18’ ?
best car guy
Thanks!
My 525i halos are out. Video on your halos pls n thank you 🙏 lol
+Nancy Camacho i have a video on my halos please check my DIY playlist on my channel
328 or 330 for a daily driver? Which one would be more reliable? I'm leaning towards the 330 due to it having a bit more power.
Either one would be fine. Get the 330, you won't regret it.
E90 or E92, I'm indifferent whether it's a coupe or 4 door.
VMR V703 Best
I would go for Matte Anthracite
hey how come you don't run a square set up for awd?
Just for aesthetics. I've read that a square setup is recommended, but I've put over 45,000 miles on these wheels without issues. The most important thing is that the rolling circumference is the same on both front and rear, so it shouldn't be putting too much stress on the transfer case.
Can i upgrade from 225/55 r17 to 245 /45 r17 is it good
What year and model you drive again? it is a 530i?
+Tim Hau 2006 330xi
How did you get the BMW emblem on the wheels?
Seems like the normal BMW center caps just pop in normally
+shagy16 they are just the center caps from my stock wheels. They fit the same
I like these wheels better, you should paint the wheels gloss black
The alzor wheels on ecs tuning look the same and are $450 for 4, I live in flint Michigan with some of the worst roads in the country and zero issues with them over 10k miles
Dis they last? Are they good? Paint chips? Clear coat? Thank you
Tire size?
Running forgestar f 14" 19in super deep...bent the 2 fronts on the hwy in seattle...had them re-shaped and powder coated...i think the roads here are the worst dude!
Nah, not even close if you are on state highways. Early Spring with rocks all over the road is pretty much death to windshields.
Hey, does anyone know if these rims will fit on my 2011 BMW 328xi E92 coupe?
+kyleprakash yes
if the same material was used for two different wheels the forged would be heavy compared to the case wouldn't it? because forged will be more dense. These wheels might be some other material and most forged wheels are aluminum so that's why forged is lighter compared to cast iron or something. I haven't done any research on this so i might be wrong but this makes sense to me.
+010FSL101 comparing two aluminum wheels, one forged and one cast, the forged is more dense, so they are able to shed weight by making the spokes thinner and shaving material off the hub and other parts of the wheel. Thats why if you are looking at two wheels with the same design, the spokes on the cast wheel are usually chunkier to compensate for strength
For example, if you look at these two wheels, the cast VMR and the forged BBS, the BBS wheel has much thinner spokes which are hollowed out on the sides. Also the VMR wheel has a really chunky hub that uses much more material than the hub on the BBS.

that makes sense, hollowing out the spokes and the hub... Thanks for explaining
Matte bronze!!
So can i do some hard driving with these
what color are they?
+No, my picture isn't moving gunmetal
Sweet e90 man - what wheels are those again?? Haha🤣
Great video as always 👍🏻
+BMW Fanatic Rota's
Justin Buice hell ya
What’s the offset?
So what kind of wheels are those??
Dont the staggered wheels hurt your transmission? I thought the AWD system wouldve better enjoyed having 18x 8.5 all around rather than a staggered look...
You can have staggared wheels as long as the rolling diameter with the tires mounted is the same front and rear. They can be within 1% of each other. There are tire calculator websites to help you see what will work safely
@@justinbuice Ok thanks for the info, funny thing is im actually getting the same car as you so to that im guessing your setup works fine? Id like to run a similar look (Maybe a less pronounced rear though)
