vmr 710's in gunmetal or silver for jet black e90?

Mr. 5 · 11-25-2008, 03:42 PM

I've been a silver guy from day one and I've always hated chrome or polished!

But...the gunmetal wheels that EAS is offering is just absolutely fricken unbelievable. They are SICK!!!
In my eyes, there isn't a more aggressive-yet-beautiful wheel to fit our cars and the gunmetal color is perfect!
Yes, black is actually more aggressive, but gunmetal has a touch of class to it that the black can't even touch.

I have ordered a set and I'm just waiting for my tires to come in.
I just can't handle the wait!!

I think I'm just as excited as you are! I can't wait to see the way these wheels really make your car look!!

Mr. 5 since you've seen the Gunmetal VMR-710's in person, do you think it would be a good match with my Space Gray, or do you think it might be lighter or darker than S.G?

Thanks...

Mr. 5 · 11-26-2008, 09:29 AM

Oh my gosh!
Are you kidding?

If I had space grey, I'd be all over this!!
i think it will match perfectly. Maybe a tad darker.

Heard it from the man himself - and a soon to be Gunmetal V710 owner.

OK, so why would you want a set of monotone wheels that perfectly matched your monotone car? Maybe it's just me, but it would be like adding painted white wheels to a white car.

Now if the 710s had a polished recessed lip or some other kind of contrasting feature, that might just work...

Hey that's no problem at all! That's why there are 2 different colors on the V710s.

If you want a good contrast, instead of Gunmetal maybe you can go with Silver.

Or if you want a really aggressive look, go with the Matte Black! Several different options so that you can get the aggressive look that you want for your car.

Also, on another note, we do sell other wheels from Velocity Motoring if you want to check those out as well. One specifically with a polished stainless steel lip called the V715s. If you have questions on those wheels, send me a PM, we can work something out!

Eewww! Polished? And what's up with all of the lip talk?
It's way overrated IMO.
Ya see? To each, his own man.
Some people like to match and some like contrast. Some think that bigger wheels is best and some like the smallest that will fit over the caipers.

Why not make the comparison of matte black wheels on a black car?
How many people out there like that look? A lot!

Have fun with your polished lips.

FWIW, I'd choose silver over the gunmetal shade they put on the 710 to go with a Space Gray car, especially if it doesn't have blackline trim. In another thread were some photos of a much darker gunmetal CSL rep on Space Gray that looked OK. And I'm not much for black wheels...sort of makes a BMW look like a Civic SI...

Not much for polished lips, either, but in this case the break in monotony might be helpful.

It was too dark last night for the pics but I snapped a couple in my garage.
Here are some teaser pics that I posted in a couple threads already.

Mr. 5,

I'd love to see some full pictures of car and wheels, my car is the same
color and I'm torn between Miro, VMR and now V710. So far I'm digging
the Miro's.

Thanks,
Wig

I only have one picture, and it's a cell phone pic so it's not the best in the world. Hopefully it helps out though:

The picture above is the 18" V710 by the way...
