Looks like another missed opportunity on VMR's part with no correct 1er offets. Boo.

I know they're aggressive, but these are finally in 18" fitments so they're at least more fit for 1.

Besides, I see a lot of guys running flush fitments with VB3s and V710s. With a little work and imagination, these will make your 1 Series look absolutely MEAN!!

.First off I LIKE these rims...well having the Advan RS Gunmetal on my last car...these rims look like a knock off high quality copy...why then can Advan make them in 18" 45 offset F and 50 offset R??? Certainly VMR CAN.....i am surprised VMR has not jumped on this yet with there rims.....for the 135I...some of us have tooooo many issues in life already and just want to put mods on the car that fit, work and perform without issues...and proper tire fitmen and offsets is near the top of the list...

They finally came out with 18's and they STILL screwed it up.


Can someone please email/call/visit VMR and introduce them to the F**KING 1 SERIES!?!


I would LOVE to get these in 18's, if only they would fit right!

its not about screwing up or not its about demand. tell bmw to stop screwing the offsets. get to the root of the problem. its not vmrs fault.

How is it BMW fault? lol wheels came with the car they didn't ask us to source them.

If the aftermarket scene wants the money of E82 owners then they need to provide parts that fit properly.

It's like saying that the M3 intake will work in the 135i because there both filters... it just doesn't work.

In all honesty I'm getting bored of checking all these wheel threads that post pictures of the wheel on every other car BESIDES the E82.

If Apex can do it so can VMR. That's all.

again, its all about demand, the 1 series is the only line that has such weird offsets in the current line up.... the e90s and even the m3s can use similar speced offsets is what i mean. the 1 series is in a whole different level.

its pricey for a company to come up with a new offset just to see if it sells. again there needs to be a big enough demand to warrant a new offset without too much risk on a company even one as big as vmr. different companies will have different target markets and focus. it's better and safer to go after the markets that are already established and larger aka the 3 series market.

you may think that the aftermarket scene is huge, but when you think about it... not too many will actually mod their cars. take the popular 3 series for example, you see the vmr vb3 and v710 getting out played, but that's a biased forum view cause if you drive out in the streets how many 3 series will you see with those played out vmr vb3's or v710's? close to zero right? then take that concept and apply it to the 1 series, how many 1 series have you actually seen on the streets ever since it first came out? close to zero right? I live in socal and so far, I've only seen a handful, let alone another one that's even modded. so where's the demand? i don't see it and companies like vmr dont see it. take a look at e90post and m3post, see how established it is and how much traffic there is, granted they've been online for longer, but there is more activity there. to be honest, i spend more time on e90post looking for answers for my 1 series than on 1addicts lol. it's not to say the 1 series isn't modable by any means, but the car just came out at a bad economical time and to be honest, you can get a pretty loaded 328i (yes, engine difference, but there are way more parts for this car) with the money you put for a 135i.

don't worry guys, vmr hasn't forgotten about us they will come out with some correct offsets soon, they are pretty swamped with different projects to handle right now. but until vmr themselves says and makes it fit, they wont fit. threads like these are for the people who want to push the limits

i really dont like how a lot of these vendors are putting up commercial threads for wheels that do not fit the 1 series remotely. I agree that there should be wheels that are plug and play for the 1 series.

sorry **********s for the thread jack i love you guys though....


*dam... this was the long thread I've ever posted on bimmerpost LOL!!

In a way it still is, and yes I just read your above post too about demand, but BMW isn't going to make their cars to accommodate aftermarket parts. It needs to be the other way around, if aftermarket companies want money, they need to provide parts to accommodate factory specs. In BMW's eyes, their cars are fine the way they build them, and would rather us not put aftermarket parts on them. They know we will anyway, but they would rather us not unless those parts came straight from BMW.

Its just frustrating, because this is the same stuff I dealt with in my last car. It just seems to me that the 3series is getting all the love when the 1series to getting pushed aside.

yes my post was referring to aftermarket companies not bmw. im just like everyone else here 'ed about the 1 series offsets when it was based off a e46 frame which uses high 30s and low 40s offsets, which could have been done by bmw.

vmr is a US based company, so we do not see as much 1 series or a good spread of the whole bmw line in the states vs europe or asia even, we didn't even get the hatch, so vmr had to start off with the e82.. etc... again the 3 is bmws best seller and vmr started off with the e46 so in a sense, they know the 3 series market well and have worked with 3's ever since. they are a business, so of course they're going to go where the money is and that's completely understandable.

you cant really compare other companies like apex or alufelugen to vmr, they have different plans/markets. apex more for track and alufelugen much newer. so you can't say "oh, if company A could do this company B could too". theres a reason why A is different from B.

trust me I've been in contact with peter from vmr ever since before I wanted my 19" v701s, after talking to him I can understand why they didn't offer 18s. what is bmw's best selling car? the 3. what is the 3's best aftermarket wheel size? 19s and especially not in high offsets. that's all there is to it.

Like I said, the 1series is getting pushed aside. You know, I used to think that the reason why EVERYONE rocked Breytons is because they look good (and they do, but...) but now I'm thinking its because they are the easiest way to get an aftermarket wheel that fits.

I would be jumping on that bandwagon too if the CSL-style wheel wasn't so played out. Its so frustrating trying to be different.


There is no way in hell these new 18's would fit, is there???

exactly why everyone has the breytons for the 1 series, they were the only ones that fit at the time. no one had a choice .

You "can" try to do 18x8.5 et35 and 18x9.5 et45 up front, but the concavity would look weird since the front might look a little more concave that the back due to the stretch and poke (if you like hellaflush go for it!). You would also have to massively stretch your tires up front maybe 215 or 225. And complete it with a shaved or rolled fender or a few degrees of neg. camber up front and a little in the back.

that sounds like a lot of work.... maybe I will just stick to the VB3's. It's too bad, these wheels would look so hawt in gunmetal just like the Advan RS's.

It's not meant for everyone.

I'm just spreading the news that the new 18" V701s were available. I know that these are AGGRESSIVE for the 1 Series.

It was for the guys that are willing to go the "flush" fitment look. And we do have customers like that from time to time.

oh trust me i know who you are referring to. I have the v701s in 19s I was the first to get them in et45 all around and I had to roll my fenders, all 4 of them. Kevin and Alan from **********s has seen them in person. Do I regret getting them and getting them to fit? nope

again sorry for the thread jack modbargians and edward, i didn't mean to, I just wanted to share my personal experience.

jzhang,

I know of your fitment and I absolutely love it!

It's also nice for someone with experience fitting an aggressive setup to chime in on the thread!
