With the VS8.2, we felt, as well as most of you do, that the VS8.2 design should stay with us a bit longer. So... we are releasing a new FlowForm series based on the VS8.2 lines. The VS8.2 has received a minor facelift that helps reduce weight by approximately .40lbs. It will also have a retail price well below $4200/set.
I'll be looking forward to the new wheels. Is the website going to up soon?

It's probably a front wheel. The rears on the older vs8. 2 were concave, but the fronts were simular to those

I agree. If the lip flowed into the barrel smoother (like the stock Z4M wheel) and if the spokes flowed in from the lip to the center like the vs8.2 it would look much better.
