It's a tough choice between the two as they're both popular designs! It really comes down to the goals you have for your car. If you're trying to maintain a somewhat OEM look then I'd say stick with the VMR VB3 CSL style wheels. If you're trying to do with something different then go with the MiRo 111. I'll shoot you over a PM with more details!

Gotta agree with the guys above. I like the VB3 the best. It's a classic design, it's been proven to look good, and you're getting them from a great manufacturer.

The VB3 any day of the week. if you go with a 9.5"f and 10"R you will be VERY concave. More then the miros hands down.

Both wheels are very nice, but the VB3's are more of an OEM look. Miro 111's are very nice wheels and have quite a bit of concave.

I personally chose the VMR VB3's. I went with 19x8.5 front and 19x10 rear in hyperblack. I love the aggressive look with the concave rears. What color is your e92? The finish you want might help you choose which rims to go with.

VB3 is the best choice. I would have to say that I like aggressive set up of 9.5 front and 10 rear. I have a lot of people turning heads or even speeding up on the freeway to check it out. Those 10" rears are pretty concave.

Has anyone done 20 inch VB3s on a coupe or sedan yet????

i have not had good luck with the paint quality on my miro's, although they're the 942's (313 style). clear coat chipping as well.

Sorry for the late reply on this but here are some pictures of the clearance issue you will have on a 245/35/19 falken 452 or any other tire of that size. I hope this is helpful.
