VMR are gravity cast but very well made, I love mine
AG is low-pressure cast and therefore slightly lighter Miro I've heard different things on...I believe they are low pressure but many have said they're a bit soft |

Here's the difference in the Hyper Silver finish & Machine Face finish from Miro.
The Miro 111 in Full Hyper Silver finish is the entire wheel is painted Hyper Silver.  The Silver/Machine Face finish is the entire wheel is painted, then the entire face of the wheel is Machine polished.  Send me a PM and I will get you pricing on any of those wheels. |

My personal recommendation out of all 3 MFGs is AG.

I know that we've been going back and forth through PMs. The Avant Garde M310 and Miro 111 (Aka 935) are both low pressure cast wheels. The machined silver finish is a raw metal look where as the hyper silver is your standard silver finish that resmebles the finish on your OEM wheel. Take into consideration also that all of the wheels that come standard from BMW straight from the factory are Low-pressure cast at a minimum. Out of the choices my recommendation is the Avant Garde M310 as it is a more modern look and has been extremely popular among the community since it's introduction!

If you're looking to get a cast wheel but don't want to drop the $$$ for a forged wheel. I would suggest you go for a wheel that is Flow Formed. Strongest and lightest form of casting.
VMR - Gravity Miro - Low Pressure Avant Grade - Low Pressure |
