I like both wheels, but the V709's would suck to clean so the V708 get my vote. I know they are just like the TI package wheels, but I'm just stating a fact.

What about the VMR VB3's? I haven't seen anyone running those... I think it's a et40 for Audi fitment though

709s in silver would be like the 25th cars...

I have the Ti wheels so I'm saying 708's as they look more interesting to me.

I say 708, 709's are too busy for my taste.

Good Luck

I'd go with v709 in gunmetal. Add some contrast to the bright silver paint.

both are nice, but 708s look a lot sportier.

No matter how much people think they are played out..RS4 reps are some of the nicest looking wheels on our cars. The 710s are also really nice.

I've always liked the 708's - even tho tons of peeps have them.

Does anyone know how much the 708's weigh? What the price for each?

TurbousMaximus
09-02-2009, 12:38 PM
Yeah, i ordered directly through VMR, they had the best pricing for wheel+tire combos.

V709's are brand new and you will definitely be among the first few to have them :)

I would go for gunmetal 709's on your silver car - that would look great. BUT, i have the 710's and everywhere i go, i get complimented. Personally, i would go with GM 710's!!

gto093
09-02-2009, 06:45 PM
i also ordered a set of GM 19 708s.. brand new 799+free shipping!!
(if you are not doing the wheel/tire combo, try other vendors here, they might have better deals)

rg_a4
09-02-2009, 07:26 PM
I'm wheels/tires gotta get a package. I like the hypersilver for the more classy look.. if that makes any sense...

gto093
09-02-2009, 07:30 PM
yeah i had tough time choosing the finish too

rg_a4
09-02-2009, 07:33 PM
yeah, i love the gun metal finish...but my taste goes more toward hypersilver. i'm trying to determine the best vendor to go through as far as price for wheel and tire package.

make sure and check out the v710 too man. Thats what I'm about to get! all are sweet choices, can't really go wrong. and like everyone is saying: They are played out on here, but not out there! I have yet to see another audi with vmr's in my city.. are you still pretty set on hyper silver?

Yeah, no problem... I sense that someone here has no penchant for sarcasm... Also, I did add something of value, I voted in your poll, gave you an opinion why, made a joke about why your poll is so close and now I'm making a facetious comment... Anything else? Yes boss, lemme get right on dat fo' you...

OK, seriously? Are you really offended by anything I said? Why are you acting all butt-hurt? Are you really going to pick what rims go on YOUR car based on what anyone else thinks?

It was a semi-sarcastic comment because I think polls like this are pointless... We've seen these rims a hundred times, so we know what they look like. Even you've seen them a hundred times (even though you've only been here three months). All you've accomplished is making everyone see these rims a hundred and ONE times now...

VMR makes different rims to accommodate differing styles. I love the look of V708s, but on a silver car, the 709s look nice. I made my opinion. Do you really care? Is that going to influence your decision in any way, shape or form? Probably not. Maybe we should ask you what rims YOU prefer out of the two? Then we can go based on your opinion, not OURS...

If my poll/thread is pointless...why participate? You don't need to vote or post here if you think it's pointless.
I just like to hear what others have to say.. i like information. Yes, i do value others opinions.
So what that i've only been here 3 months? Many people from audizine, in my 3 months, have helped me and i've learned much from reading what others have said.
I'm torn between what wheels I'd like to purchase so, to me, it's best i ask what others have to say! :)

I participated for the same reason you mentioned, because AZ is a helpful community and I understand that sometimes people want to hear other people's opinions. However, I've seen so many polls where people claim to want to hear opinions and then completely ignore them and do what they were planning to do to begin with. More than anything, it irritated me that you got offended by my post that was just a joke. Lighten up. Anyway, no hard feelings. I come off a bit harsh sometimes. Apologies [:)]

I'm "lightened". I'm as passive as they come. The reason i started this is cause there is not a "what i'm planning to do", cause i have no plan. I'm COMPLETELY stuck...it actually kind of sucks - haha. Thanks for giving your opinion...i appreciate it lots. :)

I guess the point is getting different opinions (and HOPEFULLY pictures) because you don't have much access to actually looking at the wheels yourself...

In my case, I'm still going to give it a large thought... need to import them to Chile... almost sure about the V710 (although the V708 blinks me too)... but the color................?? I'd love to get Gunmetal, but: what if I don't like them on my car?? hypersilver is a safer bet, but I like the_way_I_see_the_gunmetal on pictures...

GM V708's on a Silver A4?

Not an A4 or V708's but its definitely a sick shot of our V710's in GM. :)

im in the same dilema...cant decide between the rs4's or titaniums...also the 710's look sweet in hyper silver too...

iv got to decide by next summer...hopefully more people post pictures of the vmr titanium wheels soon to help my decision.

hey VMR, you should totally get me a sweet deal on the V710's cause I don't think you have any pictures of HS one's on a B7... or at least on a red B7... and then, you know, I could send you pictures!

After damaged rims during a tire mount, I opted to have my wheels finished to match the exterior trim; brushed aluminum. An untrained eye will never notice the difference, but when you line up a Stocker next to mine you can clearly see the difference. I will go weeks without cleaning my wheels; the brake dust make them look titanium. Two color in one FTW

How about adobinstalling a set of V710 gunmetal and hyper silver in this car then......????

http://dot2day.com/audi/a4_side.jpg

(obviously, you can remove the non-use background things... [;)])

Thing about tinting the windows is I find that when you get non-silver wheels, you really need it... car looks really better.... buuuuut, I don't like window tinting per se - at all!

Thanks!
