First set of VMR 710's in Titan Bronze!

Just received my wheels today from VMR....man they are killer!

Pictures are not the best (iPhone). I'll take out the camera this weekend and get some outside in the light.

Specs:

V710 19x8.5 ET35 5x120 72.6
V710 19x10 ET25 5x120 72.6

These are going to look bad-ass on the Z4MR! Matte bronze on red is going to look great, I could really see the matte bronze becoming a lowkey trend of 2015.

Daylight installed pics ASAP!

The 710 is an awesome wheel. I had them on my 135i and they were outstanding, GREAT choice!!

I can't stress this enough though, make sure you drop the car when you put the wheels on. 19"s make the Z4M look really popped up without lowering.

Thanks!

I have an appointment for some H&R's on the 19th. The wheels will go on after......don't want to risk the shop scratching them

Awesome look. I'm jealous you are in Austin. Just moved to Irving for a 100% raise! But, from moving, zero chance of running 19s up here. Nice color - can't wait to see mounted. Your pics have made me seriously consider that color now.

Anyone debating DFW - forget it. Flat roads and miserably potholed everywhere, and very uneven pavement. Better than Boston, but not by much! I miss the Austin hill country terribly!

Thanks Taylor!

I just moved to Austin, from Boston. You're absolutely right, the roads in Boston are terrible and there is NO way of running 19's with a drop back in that city. Did you live in Boston at all?

I highly recommend the color. It's a true bronze with a hint of shine, but I would consider it predominantly a matte color.

Indeed, I was in Charlestown. Had 19s on my Rover at the time - did a number to them on several occasions over the course of several months and felt every pothole and rut you hit. Horrible roads. Went from Round Rock to Boston, then back to Austin, and now Irving. I miss being down there.

I'll have to check out the color - thanks for posting the pics.

No kidding, I used to live in Salem (the north shore).

I live in Round Rock now.

Kind or eerily similar stories in a roundabout way.

Awesome, glad to see another Z4M in Austin!

Springs are going on Monday

Hopefully if the car is done in the time the wheels will go on that night!

The wheels are very nice, but listen to me, the car needs to be dropped. It will look 100x better then. You're almost there.

I know there was one in the works and he has the parts, I wonder if this is with the drop or not. I hadn't asked, but now I'm curious.

Looking good, but for me it looks like the tires/rims are mounted wrong. Please check the Rotation mark on the tires.

Nice job Arick - the bronze looks amazing with the tan top and interior. Very unique in Austin! Now get out into the hills and burn off some of that oxidation on your rotors!
