Nice, I got Roman's VS 7 Morrs which are really nice...

I like the VMS wheels ( 710 ) cuz they look super aggressive, plus they're really affordable. HOWEVER, they're pretty heavy compared to some other options out there. I think the 19's are around 25lbs each for the front and the rears are around 26 / 27. That much weight difference compared to a forged wheel makes ALOT of difference in handling and acceleration... Just an FYI in case you didn't consider that.

If you did, I stop talking... hahahaha

hmm you have a good point....... well unless i get some light weight bbs wheels i might have to go for looks over performance on the wheels

bkz4mc · 02-04-2009, 11:05 AM

Yeah, that's the prob... a decent set of forged wheels will cost you at least $2500...

I'm looking at getting some Advan RS for track / auto x wheels in a 18". They're not forged, but they only weight 17 lbs for the front and 18 or so for the backs ( I think ). You can get them for around $2200 a set if you shop around.

They don't have that slick CSL look to them however...
