VMR vs 351M vs 373M

CPT Smuggs · 01-18-2017, 11:05 PM

I currently have 18 inch VMR v710s on my car and feel that they are too small. (came from my old E90). Overall I've been happy with the v710, but kinda looking for a change as well. Car is Alpine White M-Sport.

Help me choose between:

1. 20" Style 373M
2. 19" Style 351M
3. 19/20" VMR v710

Currently

Style 373M

Style 351M

20" VMR v710

373s off the f12 for sure if you want to go with 20s. if you upsize your tires on the 18s to something suitable for the f30 they wont look too small anymore

351M's all day long. Especially on Alpine White. Here's a link to get OEM refurbs at a good price.

I'm most in favour of the v710's in 19 or 20in varieties. But if you're looking for an OEM look, I have 442M's - 19" staggered setup.

Thank you for all the comments and votes! Keep em coming!

CPT Smuggs · 01-20-2017, 07:17 PM

Wow! Votes are all equal right now. I expected there to be a clear winner, or at least two leaders.

Broke the tie breaker, have to go with the v710's (19") since I have them myself. Great wheels for the money and they have a good look on AW too.

What size wheels and tires are you using? I'm currently using the 18" v710's off my E90, but there is a good amount of poke in the rear. I probably need to get the rear offset closer to stock ET47. I'm thinking F: 19x8.5 ET35 R: 19x9.5 ET45. Sound right?

Current wheels are
F: 18x8.5 ET35 DWS 235/40/18
R: 18x9.5 ET33 DWS 265/35/18

R: 18x9.5 ET33 DWS 265/35/18

Current setup is 19x8.5 et35 front (not aggressive enough for me) and 19x9.5 et33. For tires i'm running 235/35/19 and 265/30/19. I like the lower offset. If you want a more flush setup in the rear you can get a et45 in the rear and 35 in the front

The M3/M4 437M (and replicas) look amazing on the F30 as well. This is now option #4. I'm leaning towards the gray, as a lot of pictures of the alpine white with black 437M look like solid black wheels. All depends on the lighting it seems.

Gray

Black

What do you think?

alohasurftoad · 01-21-2017, 08:45 PM

437M option is best. black (1st), grey (2nd)

Thanks for your vote!

Joe_E · 01-21-2017, 09:10 PM

The 437's are pretty nice as well!

I'll personally go vmr 19 with 245F & 265R. I also like 437m look but good luck getting them fixed once u scuff one that's my only reason for 1 upping the vmr wheels
