Default VMR Wheels V810

For those of you with early cars and who happen to like the late style OEM wheels, the VMR V810 in Gunmetal is pretty close in design. Available in 19x8.5 +35 and 19x9.5 +40, with the correct center bore so no hub ring is necessary.

Not a bad looking wheel. It is cast, so if forged is your thing this is not it.

Definitely a nice looking wheel. Of course typical of most wheel manufacturers, they just say it is "lightweight"...which could mean it's 25+ lb for a 19" wheel.

I agree! I looked everywhere on the website with no mention of the actual weight.

other than serious track work or drag racing I wouldnt worry about adding a few extra pounds of unsprung mass. Its not ideal but its not going to convert the car into a slug

They should be at least lighter than oem since they are made using a similar or same process as forgestar and other lightweight non-forged wheels.

I actually looked at these after a friend recommended them. I think the are a pretty popular low-cost option among different euro enthusiasts. If I remember correctly, I just couldn't find the bolt pattern and offsets I needed. Maybe there are more options now. 19x8.5 +35 and 19x9.5 +40 sounds perfect.

Edit: I found the weights:
19x8.5 - 22.4 lbs
19x9.5 - 23.5 lbs
These are for the 112 bolt pattern (not sure which offsets), but I'm sure are very close.

Flow-Forming, in general, consist of a cast face with the barrel treated in a way similar to a forged wheel. Many consider it the "middle-ground" between cast and fully forged. It's forged wheel type performance, without the price tag.

Our wheels are also custom machined in-house (bolt pattern/center bore). No need for modification or hub-centric rings.

Mitch do you happen to know the size/brand of the rubber on that car? I believe I will be in OC in the next week or two, I would like to come check out an 810 in gunmetal if you happen to have one on display.
