Title: What do you think?
Post by: AlanD on March 18, 2011, 10:59:50 am

One my LMs needs replacing and the others all need a refurb so Im thinking of a change to these - http://www.performancealloys.com/wheel-details.aspx?ID=1410

Not made my mind up yet, black on black? They do them in other colours. What do you think?

Due to rather large holiday I am taking this year I simply cant afford (re: justify) the VRMs  :sad1: Just too expensive.

Going for the Cades Berns.

I like the way you are. :grin:
Why the change?
CB wheels look great, as long they don't cause the CBH (child bearing hips) look. :evilgrin:

Those VMR look great. Are they 18's or 19's ? they look like they might be 19's ?

I am very happy with 8x18 TD's in gloss black, light perfect offset (move the outer rim out by 11mm so fill the arch) and cheap  :happy2:

Those Cades Bern’s are a nice set of alloys :happy2: (awaits pics)

I also really love the VMR 710’s but are more then double the price (compared to Cades Bern’s) and not easily available in the UK I think.

My bad, they aren't genuine from the looks of it as it doesn't say VRM anywhere but still look like decent reps non the less - http://www.bmautosport.co.uk/detail.php?siteid=2034
