That sounds super sarcastic! Why join to post that? Surely you've something better to be doing with your time


I'm not sure who that's aimed at, but reading the last few posts I think you may have got the wrong end of the stick. I'm not sensing any sarcasm from anyone.

I'll be after some VMR 710 reps at some point, hopefully next year :D

I got them from BM Autosport
markbmwe30@hotmail.com

They were £550 wheels only but got bolts, locking bolts, vw centre cap logos with that too.

They look awesome in real life. They were called 18" AVANT GARDE M310 STAGGERED ALLOY'S 9" DEEPER CONCAVE REAR et45/45

Awesome company. Going to use them to get some winter wheels to fit my tires I already have too.
