I am heavily thinking of going with with these VMR wheels.
How are the quality of the these wheels to date?
And peeling, chips etc?
How is the off set working out?
Any general feedback is appreciated.

Thanx.

However, the 18s seem to be working out well. Photos attached.

This is what we have on our 2009 35i ordered from Pyspeed.

VMR BMW V710 18 inch Wheel Set
Wheel Finish:Hyper Silver
Size:18x8.5
ET:35mm
Size:18x9.5
ET:45mm
Tire Package Mounted Balanced:Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric
TPMS:BMW (2007 - 2009)
Tire size 225/40/18 and 255/35/18

They fit fine.

The only thing I have noticed is that if you lay the wheel on its side, with this tire width, the face of the wheel (spokes) just touch the ground and can chip. I had one fall over and it put a couple of chips in it. Now that I know this, I am more careful handling and always lay them down with a board under one side. The couple of chips are small and not that noticeable.

I do not take them off nearly so much (in fact never) since I am not concerned with cracks anymore.
