What do folks think of the VMR V710's?

I know everyone has opinions but I am very close to pulling the trigger on these.

They are absolutely beautiful! The future gunmetal finish is going to be even hotter if you ask me

Does anyone know when we can expect a gunmetal or hyperblack version? I would rather have one of those finishes although I think the hypersilver would look good on my car.

Absolutely gorgeous, I am trying to get Kenny over here to mount a set on his car.

VMR does not expect to release any colors until after the next shipment at the earliest. This first shipment is all silver and the next shipment is all silver. They will be gauging interest in other colors thereafter but nothing is set in stone yet.

They are pretty hot, we sold out in matter of minutes. Pictures should be creeping up on the web now as we've shipped orders to customers. OEM BMW caps fit right on the wheel, you can use your existing caps. Let us know if we can help secure your next set, there are some crazy good promotions on them as well.

Won't be out for at least another 3 or 4 months. There will be other colors available but that has yet to be determined.

If you guys are interested in custom colors now, let me know. If enough of you guys want to do one color, I can have a batch powder coated. We've done custom color wheels before, but it definitely comes at a premium. Our powder coat guy does a fantastic job. PM for more details.

Nice wheel design. Liked it ever since I came across HRE P40's. Just out of interest, do you do them in a VW fitment? What's the quality like? Thanks

We do offer them in 19x8.5 +35 5x112 for Audi/VW fitment. As far as quality, all our wheels are very high quality and meet or exceed JWL and VIA wheel standards. Our production facility is ISO9001 certified and the wheels and finish are backed by a 1 year warranty against any manufacture's defects.

VMR spent a lot of time designing these wheels as well as making them a safe and beautiful wheel at the same time. Easily one of the most exciting wheels to come out this year as well as one of the most beautiful I have seen on most BMW's

Well these wheels are definitely great wheels! Velocity spent a lot of time on these, and they definitely did a great job with designing them. We are proud to carry these wheels for them, and we do hope to get a different finish other than the hypersilver finish for the community. I personally love the look of these wheels, and I do plan on getting these wheels on my E92

Here are some pictures we took during Bimmerfest when they did a debut on those wheels:
