    I gotta admit these VMR's do look brilliant!! Would look even better in the Gunmetal on the Grey R36



    Any idea what a set of these are worth with the Kumnos?

    (with the current exchange rate about 2K landed for the rims)

    There's a sale on at redline at the moment:

    although the ones I linked to before are at pre order stage (not sure if that is just for the 18s though)

    Hmmm... That's not as rediculous as I was told ($4k landed for just the rims) which I wouldn't pay. But $2k landed for VMR rims I would certainly pay!

    Just never ordered something so big from OS before. A bit hesitant about the process.

    They'd certainly look classy on a blue .:R36!!!

    They're very advan-esque.

    I've ordered Vmr wheels through Andrew @ redline before.
    Shipping was reasonable and communications were great.

    Andrew is likely to be the person who will answer your email.
    Here's a link to some customer feedback on golfmkv.com:

    you can also buy straight from vmr - they are the people who put up the first thread I linked to with these particular wheels... Contact details are in his sig on that site I believe.

    Just back to the clearance issue again. from my rough measurements you could go as much as 25mm wider on the outside before you need to worry about rolling guards. if concerned aim for 15-20mm to play it safe.

    I doubt VMR would specify a rim size for a passat if it meant you had to do crazy amount of body work to get it to fit without scrubbing

    I have the VMR V710 in gunmetal in a 19".

    they are awesome (IMO) much better than the standard 18's (too small for this vehicle).
    Today an identical black R36 wagon - bog standard - parked next to me in Keperra so I got to compare side by side and (IMO) no contest.
    I flogged the factory rims on "the bay" as they would just sit sround gathering dust so a dubber 's getting good use out of them.

    FWIW I bought them from PYSpeed (although I would buy them direct from Velocity as it was a sh*tfight to get them here) and, against recommendation, I opted for a 35 offset. It looks much tougher and sits the wheels out at the guards (occassional rub on very rough potholes but in general it's fine) your only other option is 45 and it looks too narrow (like the factory wheels, too far in the guard)

    The gunmetal is a bit too light for me with the black so I will be getting them painted probably extremely dark charcoal (black on black shrinks wheels) and match the front (all sacrilege I'm sure to those of you who like everything factory but, what the heck)

    cheers
