HELP! Vmr V710's or M6 Replicas

Hey everyone, I need some serious help! i have a space grey 328xi sedan and im looking for some wheels and I cannot for the life of me decide on whether to get the m6 replicas or veocity v710's for my car.
Sometimes I'm liking the v710's but at other times i think it looks to aggressive. with the m6's i think they look good as well but sometimes they just dont look right. Any help and input would be great! THANKS!

actually space grey e90's make them look PERFECT... the gunmetal inserts look really good on the m6's cuz they match the paint.


dude I say rock the M6's... the v710's just always looked like poorly made CSL's to me.

If you want a CSL-style wheel I would go with the Alufelgens. But of those two I would go with the V710s.

M6s look great with some dressed up brakes, but unless you have a BBK I would stick with the V710s.

like he said, theres just too much open space for the stock brakes.

get the V710s in matte black or a gun metal finish

I was in the same boat as you a couple months back. I kept going back and forth on m6 reps and oem style 162. I was soo close to getting the m6 rims until I saw the v710's.

I just placed my order for the 710's and I am very happy with the purchase. In my area the 710's are new and fresh.

Personally I think the m6 reps don't show enough metal (on the rim).
My vote is for the vmr 710.

thanks for everyone's help once again! looks like i may be going with the 710's! now the other question. wht color ! i do like the look of the gun metal but i think looks too similar to the color of my car, space grey. also where's a good place to order the 710's? i called vmr directly and they gave a pretty fair price from what i know but they dont have the gun metal color!

Gunmetal looks too much like brake dust in my opinion. Get either some hypersilver or some matte black. VMR, **********s, EAS or Jlevi can help you.

710s. M6 wheels don't even look good on M6s.

We are the only ones to offer Gunmetal and Matte Black finishes from VMR - I would vote on either HyperSilver or Matte Black.
