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.

 

Here they are on an F - no idea what size/offset.

 

Hey all!

Thought we'd chime in. Any other questions/concerns, feel free to contact me directly

That is our V803 (Also Flow-Form) in 19x8.5 ET35 | 19x9.5 ET35. Custom machined to 5x114.3 60.1
Full photo shoot coming soon! For now, here's a candid shot from another angle.



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.

Thanks for this info...nice looking wheels!

 

Wow, wish I wouldda known about these before I purchased the wheels I went with. Couldda saved a little money.

 

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.

 

Sure! Come on down, we have a full showroom and I can set you up with some free VMR Swag
