View Full Version : New Wheel Teaser

OK, so finally got some new wheels after about 2 1/2 months of limping around on a stocker spare. I had some bunk ass Enkei wheels that I've hated since I purchased them. They looked good online but not on my car. I figured this was great justification for new wheels, so I got some VMR 718's 19-8.5 in hyper silver. I will wash her up tomorrow and post some pics.
Sorry for the crappy Iphone pics.
Sorry for the delay, but that is military life for you...... hurry up and wait!!

Nice height.
I like the height, it rides good without rubbing, unless I put some hefty people in the back seat.

Somewhere around there, I've never really measured the ride height.
How are you liking that 3071R?? I want more power, but don't want to sacrifice reliability.

Looks great man, glad to see you are still in a B7. Those SoCal roads will sure be a lot nicer than the KY ones...just blew out 2 front tires myself..really contemplating 18s from now on.

I am not 100% on that. It depends where in SoCal you are, some of these roads are pretty fierce!! I really love this car man, I was going to trade it once and got to the dealer and changed my mind. I absolutely couldn't do it! Are you still a B7 owner??

Thanks to the new VMR wheels, I am in love with my car all over again. ( shameless VMR plug )

I have always liked the 718's over the 710's, plus everyone has the 710's. I also thought about doing the 718's in matte black, but thought the hyper silver would look a little more classy.

I agree the miro 111's look similar but it looks like the spokes are a little thicker than the VMR's and I would be willing to bet more expensive as well. It's just up to personal preference at this point.

No spacers, and for the time i am running the D2's. They ride nice and without any bouncing or rubbing, but I have been thinking about some KW's.

My wife asked me the other day why I was always checking these forums? I told her, there is a lot of knowledge on these forums. You can share shit like these pictures and get pretty cool feedback, unless the cars are hideous.... then you'll be incinerated!! My car is my art form, and when I get positive feedback...... it makes all the time and money worth it!
Thanks AZ!
Bartles - post those pics man!!

You've swayed me six speed. I'm going 718's in hyper silver for my brilliant black. Should be a month or 2 down the road tho. I wanna do coils and wheels at the same time.
