PS-7 on my non M. The rear would be deeper dished for the M. I know the style is for blacked out rims these days, but on a black car I felt it would be too much. Saved about 5lbs per wheel with this set up.

Coilovers incoming (and maybe aero skirts...), will post better photos when everything is installed. I'm really digging these, the offsets worked out great excuse the dirt and uneven ground

Service and quality from VMR have been fantastic, no complaints
The V803 actually looked pretty good, better than I thought - thanks for the pictures Now if only Apex had a version of it in 18s...hmmm.

Looks great in hyper silver, you made the right choice

h&r coilovers came in on the weekend and I finished the install last night. Need to raise the front a hair to clear my lumpy side of the driveway (wife wont give up her side, kids + car seats...) but man do I love the way it looks. Will post a quick pick once my boss goes away lol

Best I could do in the parking lot sandwiched between 2 cars, hopefully I'll have a chance to get some nicer shots this weekend

The best way I could describe it is to say it's much more controlled. The ride is a lot more firm than stock, and jounce/rebound are handled much better as well. The result is the car doesn't "bounce" when going over bumps, and body roll on turns is nearly gone. FWIW, my stock setup had about 60k miles on it.

In terms of comfort, it's at about the same level as stock. Again it's firmer, but the chassis doesn't get upset as easily, so it kind of balances out. I hope that makes sense.

Would purchase again

Good to know. Thanks! I've been considering coilovers but don't want the ride to be unbearable. I've seen lowered cars hopping along the freeway here because of the expansion joints and don't want that effect.

I Love the V710's, they look great! However, it doesn't look like they save any weight over the OEM rims?? About 25 LBS, am I correct on that?
I like the weight of the Apex Arc 8, Right around 20 LBS.

Our Flow Formed lineup is going to be comparable to Apex wheels in terms of weight. Some options are even a bit lighter

Regarding certifications, our wheels do indeed meet the most stringent testing procedures and are either TUV certified, or in the process. Stampings are present, but on most wheels on the back (our new flow formed V804 is an exception and has the stamping in the front). For a full list of the current TUV certs, please visit our VMR Wheels Europe site here -> http://www.vmrwheels.eu/certificates.html

I will never get tired of seeing this setup, just stunning!

Keep in mind the V803 is one of our flow-formed options, thus weight is on par with Apex. In some sizes the VMR offering is actually lighter than Apex but differences of ~1lb or less are negligible from a practical standpoint, there are so many other factors that come into play (i.e. tire compound, tire weight, alignment, suspension setup, seat time, wheel strength & design, etc.). Apex wheels are popular for a reason, there's no denying that, but I just want to make sure our performance options get a fair chance Oh, and an 18" version is in the works from us

Apex 19x8.5 ET35 recorded weight for PS-7 @ 21.9lbs

I think you may be surprised! If you're looking for a lighter weight option, our Flow Formed V710 (V710FF) would be the way to go. Again, a bit lighter than the comparable Apex but close enough where on the track, this sort of difference near as makes no difference. If you're interested in 18" specifically, we do have the V810 flow-formed option already available, though 18" V710FF and 18" V803 are in development.

I was looking for a similar option for my 3.0coupe in 18".

I found these: http://www.fastwheels.ca/productinfo...4a&fn=titanium
