VMR V713 wheel question

JayD · 10-05-2009, 10:35 PM

looking to add VMR V713's to my 335i
front 19x8.5 offset 35
rear 19x9.5 offset 33

currently have Miro CSL's in same size and offset

questions

1. weight of VMR's
2. is the hyper silver painted or polished? does it have a clearcoat? what is the coating on the inside of the rim? (painted or powdercoated), where are they made?

tried searching but couldn't find anything

thanks

I put my V713 on the scale with Falken FK452 tires before mounting them:

I would say that they are painted with a powdercoated clearcoat on top. I'm not 100% sure... But I have to warn you the paint chips very easily! As you can see from the pictures my rims got the paint chipped of during transport and I have got several chips afterwards also... It's a great looking wheel with paint finishing issues.

The VMRs are about 25-26lbs for 19's depending on the width so they will comparable to other cast wheels.

The Hypersilver is a 5 coat process that starts with a dark black base layer with metallic silver on top. The effect is a bit of a darker silver than the OEM setup but gives the wheel a nice finish. It does have a clearcoat and the inside is coated silver. VMR warranties the finish for 1 year from the date of purchase as well. So long as you wax and wash the wheels regularly, the finish will hold up for years.

The weight of the VMR V713's will be around 25lbs-26.5lbs or so depending on the fitment.

Hypersilver is a factory painted color, and yes, it does have a clear coat for some added protection. Feel free to PM me with any other questions you may have.
