Big decision. Vb3 or v710?

bhad · 03-06-2012, 02:21 PM

On my alpine white Z4M Coupe?

Thoughts? Possible photo comparisons?

Thanks

Have you thought about the Sportline CS.16's? They look almost identical to the VB3's but weigh a whole lot less.

Between the two you mentioned, I like the V710's in black.

vb3 silver or gloss black 19x10 rear 19x8.5 front

Personally I think the V710s look better on the coupe. The VB3 looks more OEM, obviously since it's based on an OEM BMW wheel, but I think the V710 still gives a slightly OEM look but much more aggressive and follows the lines of the coupe a little better.

Check out the aftermarket wheel thread in this forum and you'll see pictures of both on Z4's.

posting pics of both would probably help those less likely to google search for themselves aka myself

Thank guys. I have searched Google and on here. Not many to compare with.

Had a chance to look at it now. Impressed by the weight savings compared to VMR.

I think for me to make up my mind I will need to see the VB3/V710 in gunmetal (from all angles) on an alpine white coupe.

Can anyone here fulfill such a rare request?

VMR 710 on AW

Good luck on your decision

btw I like 710's more even though I had VB3's at one point.

Alufelgen CS7 is a good choice also if you prefer OEM look

here is comparison thread:

I think I am leaning towards vb3 in hyper black colour scheme.

Guessing 10j rear and 8.5j front in 19'.

What would be the ideal offset for that 'flush' look?
