Question Does anyone make HRE P40 replica wheels?

I'm trying to find some decent quality wheels in gunmetal. VMR V710 wheels are the only ones I've come across that look pretty identical to the HRE P40, but they lack in quality. Does anyone else make P40 reps? I've looked at Forgestar and Alufelgen wheels but they are not as nice as the P40 or V710.

The Avant Garde M310 is exactly what you're looking for. The Avant Garde 310 is a low pressure cast wheel and has a higher load rating (1800 lbs) to withstand pressure. What that translates to is that the wheel is going to be not only stronger, but also lighter! The Avant Garde Type 310 Wheels are a one of a kind design that will give your BMW an aggressive look and stance. The 310 is available in a 19" staggered fitment, with your choice of Hyper Silver, or Matte Black; both are durable enough to stand up against all the harsh elements. I'll shoot you over a PM with more details. In the meantime, here are a few pics of the wheels as well as installed pics for you to check out!

Do they make them in gunmetal? All I see are silver and matte black.

How exactaly do v710s lack in quality? There is nothing wrong with them. You don't need anything more than a cast wheel for the street. You're not going to break a cast wheel acceleating from a stoplight, going around a mountain road, or getting groceries. I'm friends with a lot of high up people on the world's professional racing teams, and everyone thinks it's ridiculous to get anything but a cast wheel for the street.
