I've been on VMR wheels for the last year and a half or so. Great quality, very durable, and best of all, they've got a great price

[**335i**]

even if they made in china? just curiuos are they good quality if they made in china?

[csupernova]

Have them for a year now. Paint still looking good, no chip whatsoever. No vibration too and I drive in crappy NYC road quite often.

Hey Aistis,

We've carried VMR for over 6 years now, all of their wheels are JWL and VIA certified and are well regarded on the forum for strength and quality, especially for the price. Search around, you will find they are a solid choice for the price.

They're not made in China. Quality is excellent, just look at the responses off this thread, members seem to really like them, and from my experience, you cannot beat anything in that price range to be honest.

We have had handfuls of customers within the U.S. and Internationally who have ran our wheels year round. Some loyal customers even up to 3-4 years at a time on a single set of VMR Wheels.

For the best responses on VMR Wheels, I would recommend doing a forum search. From there, you can determine yourself from past customer reviews as to how our quality and customer service has aided us with the utmost support from the community.

I love the VMR wheels, but from your statement you make it sound like 3-4 years run time is something special? When I buy an aftermarket set of wheels I expect them to last the life of the car until I trade it in (usually 8 yrs, or in the case of my Trans Am - NEVER) - I'm not looking to buy a new set of wheels every couple years?

Why would they only last a couple years?

I know we've been chatting through PMs for the past few days and I just wanted to make this information available so that the rest of the community to see this:

It really does not matter where the wheels are produced as in essence, Japan and Germany are the only two countries that offer wheel certifications that are truly relevant to the markets around the world. They are as follows.

INTERNATIONAL COMPANY CERTIFICATION→
ISO 9001:2000 Certification - International Service Organization (ISO) is a worldwide organization that sets technical standards for testing and quality purposes for various international industries. ISO 9001:2000 is the latest quality management system for businesses. It basically creates a unique structure, development and implementation of a QMS in order to increase the quality of business transactions, quality and customer satisfaction.

JAPANESE→
JWL- Japanese wheels must have a "JWL" logo on the wheel and "JWL" (Japan Light Wheel Alloy) is a compilation of standards defined by the Japanese Government to ensure the vehicle's safety for aluminum road wheels. Every wheel put to market must be tested to meet JWL standards before a wheel can be put out to market in Japan. These standards are generally accepted worldwide as acceptable for most road conditions. That is why you will see these marks on European and other Asian country wheels.

VIA Certification - Vehicle Inspection Association (VIA) is a third-party group in Japan which can test and verify whether or not any alloy wheels can meet JWL certification standards.

JAWA Certificate Sticker
The JAWA Quality Certificates: Since 1995, JAWA has introduced the “JAWA Quality Certificate” system to protect and develop consumer confidence in wheel safety and quality. The certificate guarantees that all products qualify to the JWL and JWL-T light alloy disc wheel standards approved by Japanese government.

VIA Mark
A third-party entity called the Vehicle Inspection Association verifies whether a product meets the requirements prescribed by the JWL or JWL-T standard. This association permits a product to bear a VIA mark if it passes rigorous quality and strength verification tests conducted in accordance with the JWL or JWL-T standard.

GERMAN→
TUV Certification - Technischer Uberwachungs-Verien (TUV) (Technical Examination Association) in Germany. This is another third-party testing group which began in Germany and now has locations worldwide. The TUV Certification is the highest performance and durability standard any product can hope to meet. To even be considered for testing, all companies must first be ISO 9001:2000.

Since it is rather costly to obtain the both ISO 9001 and the TUV certs, most aftermarket companies have JWL, JAWA, & VIA certs, and will make sure their wheels MEET TUV cert standards, without officially having them.

In short, yes VMR wheels are made overseas in Asia, however, they do passes JWL, VIA, and ISO-9001:2000 standards.
