These just arrived from our friends at VMR (Huge thanks to VMR!)
18x8" ET45 Front and 18x9.5" ET45 Rear

What do you guys think?

Higher quality pics coming soon.

Anyone else think the rear wheel arch area looks incredibly awkward? The rest of the car looks great, but idk if its that angle or what, but it just looks funky. Its like the rear tires are too small or something

Picture was taken with an iPhone 5.. which for some reason throws off some of the angles. I actually took one that made the wheels look like ovals.

Really like this look (OEM+). Stance is great, although a bit low for me. And I prefer the OEM M Sport wheels. I suggest some LCI rear tails!

you guys rubbing since you changed wheels out, or did you end up rolling fenders?

Currently have a slight rub in the rear. The Michelins run a little wide, so I would probably recommend going with a 235 rear if you do not want to roll the fenders and want this same tire/suspension/wheel set up.

As it sits only a minor roll is needed, just haven't gotten around to working on our own cars lately!

I really like those VMRs. They suit the 1er really well and don't look overly aftermarket. They also look like the 458 Italia wheels which can only be a plus!

I agree. I prefer the understated look. The Super Silver finish really stands out as well, I've gotten several comments on the finish.

I wish it looked more like a 458! (we've worked on those too)
