Which Wheels?

/Users/charleslawrence/Desktop/Screen Shot 2018-10-20 at 9.06.43 AM.png

Im considering either the VMR or TSW wheels. I'd get gunmetal finish for either one. Any input on quality, weight, etc? I'm planning to put MPSS 225s on them. They are for my 230i coupe and I plan to mount them in the summer and do a handful of track days. During the winter it will be back to OEM 17 inches with RF, at least for now.

Both are good, reputable middle of the road wheels. One thing to keep in mind is that everyone and their grandma's have VMR's so that could be a good or bad thing, depending on the person.

I think those detail ridges and dips on the TSW will make cleaning them off a lot harder, if you care about brake dust.

Agreed 100%.

Also check the Apex SM10 that's another decent price / good quality wheel. Same look as the VMR but with the added interest of the i-beam spoke.
