My new VMR V810's in Bronze Burst

MassBimmer · 04-24-2015, 08:56 PM

This week probably marked the biggest transformation this car has seen at once in...well...ever. I cracked my year old M-Sport front bumper this winter sliding into a snowbank in my driveway. While I was really bummed to have to replace such a new bumper so soon, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise because I got to address a lot of other things on my to-do list. In addition to a new M-Sport front bumper, I took this as an opportunity to respray the hood as well, reviving a prominent part of the car that had become quite tired and beat up over 6 yrs of driving. I couldn't stop at the front though...an OEM BMW Performance rear diffusor replaced the M-Sport trim for a more aggressive look. With the body work addressed, it was time to refresh the car's stance. Over the winter, I opted to order a set of staggered 19" VMR V810 wheels powder coated in their custom Bronze Burst color. I was really nervous about the color because it was so out of character for me. Subtle yet aggressive at the same time depending on lighting, I can't express how ecstatic I am at how great the color plays on black paint. The stance and overall look of the car is completely transformed! While I was intent on staying with Continental as my tire of choice, in the end I just couldn't resist the lure of those sticky Michelin PSS tires. Sized in 235/35/19 & 265/30/19 these tires wrap the VMR's perfectly and are sure to provide thousands of miles of smile-inducing driving pleasure! To top off this year's project, a stud conversion kit from Motorsport Hardware was installed with Black Titan nuts. Overall, I could not be happier with the result!

Ahh I'm starting to love Bronze/Gold wheels! It looks sick! Definitely makes your car look unique.

Ever thought of getting some black eyelids on your headlights?

bimmette · 04-25-2015, 12:34 AM

Looks great!
(You could use some tire shine though

)

Alen E90 · 04-25-2015, 02:15 AM

Your E90 looks better than ever man! Lovin' the wheels and the perf. diffuser

Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work!

Thanks everyone! Really pleased with how they turned out!

Oh, and bimmette I took the pictures at the shop where I had the work done so I didn't really have time to put any dressing on

Rims look sweet, brakes look bad.

ThugzZ BunnY · 04-25-2015, 02:58 PM

They're pretty dark. If you notice in the first pick, they almost look black from a distance. They pop in the sunlight though

kirke92 · 04-25-2015, 03:06 PM

Looks great on the last close up pic of the wheel.

ThugzZ BunnY · 04-25-2015, 04:47 PM

im realy debating this color, sorry for questions. when it is bad lighting, can you at least tell they aren't black? i have black wheels now and im wanting to go away from it. im debating this color and brushed antique bronze.

Yes you can absolutely tell it's not black

TheLeusOne · 04-25-2015, 05:03 PM

I like them... It's a nice deviation from all the black wheels. Good choice and great color. Congrats on your updates.

Thank you!!

Alen E90 · 04-25-2015, 10:48 PM

Btw, nice job keeping the perf. diffuser in the regular OEM gray finish. It looks the best like that IMO!
