VMR V801 Winter Set- Review

M3PGH · 12-25-2017, 10:24 AM

Hi guys,
Decided to drive my M2 this winter, so I went to the company who I have dealt with in the past for wheels and tires, VMR.
First off I would like to give a big shout out and thank you to Brandon over at VMR for the help and tremendous customer service. He was extremely quick and attentive to all my questions and concerns when picking the best fit for what I needed and steered me in the right direction for what I had in mind.
Now onto to the wheels. I decided to go with the newly released V801 in hyper silver and I couldn't be more happy with them. The fit and finish of them look OEM and the fitment is even better than stock! They are a very similar look to the M3 comp pack wheels and perfectly suit the m2 body. Everywhere I go I get countless compliments on the wheels. I have posted a few pictures of the wheels in action here in the snowy north. Thanks again Brandon!

They look very nice indeed! Is this a 19“ or 18“ setup? Would you mind to share with us the Offsets and width of the wheels and what tires you got?

Of course! These are 19x9.5 ET35 with yokahoma x ice in 255/35/19 all around. Honestly not a big fan of the tires, would definitely go with something like the blizzak next time

Nice! This would mean the fronts are more in by 6mm than stock. It doesn’t look like that at all! Can you see the wheel being more inside the fender if you know what I mean?

The 9.5" ET35 actually sits exactly the same in relation to the fender as the OEM 9" ET29. The rear is moved inside the fender by 1mm when compared to the OEM 10" ET40.

Ah I see I forgot about the half inch increased width compared to stock! Thanks for explaining!
