VMR or BMW CF wheelcaps

CV335 · 05-26-2009, 07:46 PM

Bobby was nice enough to sent me gray and chrome wheelcaps with the VMR centers, so while I wait for my Mtech bumper to be painted I decided to give a try to the VMR wheelcaps. I painted the gray ones with flat black just like I did with the BMW CF ones. Between these two I'm still leaning towards keeping the CFs, but let me know what you guys think. This is all until Peter sent me the darker ones (hopefully black) they are developing

Thanks for the feedback. Some people commented that I should put the VMR wheels so I wanted to try them out. Honestly, I'm not a fan of the CF ones either. The look great with the stock wheels though. I'm hoping for some black wheel caps with silver VMR letters

Now I know where the last VMR vote came from

Where are my black wheelcaps???

BMW FTW!

The VMR badges stick out way too much IMO.

ToadHollow · 05-27-2009, 09:40 PM

I voted for the VMR caps ..... I'm no good if I can't be different!

On right wheel color I think they would look great. Looking at the pics, the CF emblems seem to small even though color wise they match better

stick with the bmw cf caps

OwnAge · 05-28-2009, 12:55 AM

I would go with bmw caps for sure.

Andy M · 05-28-2009, 02:03 AM

BMW wheelcaps too. BMW is blessed to be one of the few logos that looks almost right-side-up despite whatever tire rotation it's in and the rondel fits perfectly in the wheelcaps. Take that Porsche!

CV335 · 05-28-2009, 11:17 PM

Thanks guys! I'm still waiting for the "darker" VMR 'caps, but for now I think I'm gonna stick to the BMW ones

sole cal · 05-28-2009, 11:20 PM

BMW CF

cbad335 · 05-29-2009, 01:07 AM

VMR caps. I think the CF BMW caps look cheap. But then again, I've got poser BBS caps on my LM reps
