These are your wheels! Perfect RS6 fitment. 19x8.5 with 35mm backspace. NO SPACERS

[snoopra]

:thumb: Nice! Reminds me of HRE's.

[V8weight]

I wonder if either of these will be available in a 9" width somewhere down the line. I personally prefer the 701 to the new 718/old 710. I just like the spoke look.

[DHall1]

Yes,

9.5s are in the pipeline. 33mm backspace. It will be a close fit on the backside. Very close

[DHall1]

I need to see the 701s mounted and on a car but this is just...wow.

718s from an angle

No $hit

But from the looks of things. Jacob knows how to service his customers. I dont think we will have a problem.

VMR would be the way I would go if I decided to get new wheels. Luckily for me my buddy has an account.

[RS6-4dr911]

I still find myself the 2 factory version better than anything else out there. But, the second one (lace version) is the better of the 2. First one looks too delicate for the visual mass of the car.

The straight spoke?

Which color do you think on an Avus car?

I am leaning to the mesh style in a gunmetal or hyperblack. Waiting on additional pics of just the rims in gunmetal and hyperblack(more of a black chrome type of color) to go against my Avus.

I like the straights in silver on Avus. For the mesh i would go silver or gun metal on Avus. I think the black is too far on the RS6 on any color as you really loose the design of the wheel and the car just looks like its floating on black holes to me, making it look heavy.

[DHall1]

I agree going too dark is no good on the RS6. That is why I get all fussy with wheel color. Gunmetal may be too dark. I have emails into Jacob for better pics of the gunmetal and the hyperblack.

hypersilvers are not out just yet.

What MM said. I vote mesh.

19" OEM suit the car so well imo.
718s would be second on my list...........smoked ofcourse ;)

[AudiRS4ever]

Those look great. Nice find Dave. You said they are working on a 9.5, but are they also working on a 9.0? That is probably my next mod. Hyper Silver would be good for me.

[AudiRS4ever]

One other question, can the oem audi center caps fit? Not ours of course, but maybe from the B6 A4 5-spoke?

Here are larger pics of the hypersilver and gunmetal.

From these pics the gunmetal does not look too dark.

Group Buy??????? I'm in, probably 701's 19 x 9.5 when available. I usually don't like the mesh but the 718's have me thinking.

[surferdude]

I had previously contacted VMR about a set, but at the time there were no plans of producing a wheel in anything wider than 8.5, which is too narrow IMO. But if they are considering a 9.5 width, I'm all in on some 19" (Group Buy?). I like both the straight spoke and the mesh designs, but I think I'm for the mesh in silver or diamond cut with matte accenting (not that they have that available as of yet).

Maybe a group buy might get them going on some 19 x 9.5 wheels a little sooner if they had a few sets pre sold????

See that 718 rim in hyper silver against the blue of the BMW. That is your color combo in a nutshell.

I say hyper silver for your car and keep the silver trim.

Ok kids,

I am working on a deal on these 701s and 718s for the RS6 group.

I have pics coming of the 701s mounted on a vehicle.

If Erik is ok with a group discount for RS6.com then that is also in the works. Seems like VMR has a good rep and we have never really had a chance to try the rims due to fitment issues.

Any idea as to of the weight of these wheels? My Neuspeed's are 19 x 8.5" and only 19 lbs. (8.5 kilo's) I like the shape of these 701's better than mine

Here are some shots of my neuspeeds to give you an idea of how the 701's would look on Avus:

[DHall1]

710s are not that light. But I can see the spoke difference. I also like the 701s.

I think the concave nature of the spokes make the difference on both the 701 and 718s.

Can you send me some additional jpgs of your car with the newspeeds?

Here's a lower angle to show spoke angles on the Neuspeed. I believe these spokes are hypersilver and the lip is polished. The curve of the 701's seem to accent the wheels better... (damn!)

[DHall1]

Thank you for the large pics. I agree the 701 spoke is larger and runs all the way out to the edge. The concave shape of the 701 rim face also updates the look.

VMR has done a great job with the design and style of these rims.

I will run these VMR rims. I now have to choose between the 701 and 718s.

First color choice for me will be gunmetal.

More to come.

I may go with the 19x8.5. The 9.5s look really big on this car and these will be my daily street driven wheels. I may also run the oem 19 in size tire. 255s for the same reasons.

I always get these two wheels backwards...arrrgh.

If the oem 8.5 x 18 is 30mm backspace then the VMR 8.5 with 35mm backspace is not what we need.

The 19x9.5 MTM has 30mm backspace and fits perfect on the RS. I need to go get the calc out. 5.93 inches of backspace from center. 3.57 inches of positive dish.

The 19x9.5 VMR has 33mm backspace. We need to confirm fitment. (thats you Greg) hehe 6.05 inches of backspace from center. 3.45 inches of positive dish.

The 19x9 RS4 oem wheel has 29mm backspace and fits the C5 RS6. 5.64 inches of backspace from center and 3.36 positive dish.

The 19x9 C5 euro oem wheel as 35mm backspace and fits at the limit of backspace because not all tires will clear the control arm. 5.87 inches of backspace from center and 3.13 positive dish.

NOt sure myself...

I suppose it could be clearance on the inside of the wheel well? I would think you would need less offset with a wider rim. That would keep the actual inside rim location identical and move the extra rim width to the outside.....?

You're technically correct. Offset is measured from the center of the rim to the mounting surface. If the mounting face is in the center, it's 0 offset. Offset goes positive when moving the mounting surface inward and negative when moving outward. So the offset number will be dictated by the width of the rim. Hope that helped.

[DHall1]

[Amulet-S6]

For what it's worth, the tires in my photo's (#28 & 39) above are 265/35/19 on the 19x8.5 rims. Total offset is 30 with the spacers. I've run them the past two summers without rubbing issues. HOWEVER, my coilovers are not as low as others might prefer.

The 35 series profile does give a noticeably harsher ride, which is why I up-sized from the proper fitment of 255/35 to 265/35 for a bit more sidewall. Yes, this does cause the speedometer to read 1% slow.

I've had pals run 275/35/18's on the track and they love the way the wheel fills out the wheel well.

[surferdude]

My vote is for 19 x 9.5, I still have to figure out which style to go with. I think the 9.5 width with a 265-285 tire looks much better on our cars, and significantly adds to the traction. Currently I'm running the stock 18 x 8.5 , and it looks and feels too narrow. I've run up to 20 x 10 rear, 20 x 9 front (20" wheels were a little too harsh a ride), and I had no problems with rubbing. As far as looks, the width was perfect.

Ahhhh Haaaaaaa!!! I've got ya dead to rights on this one Dave. You're waaaaay off. 3mm is roughly 0.120" or 1/8". That's bigger than an entire gnat (note the "g")!

So by deduction a gnat's hair (note the "g" again as well as the possessive " 's ", missing in your quote), must be substantially (several orders of magnitude) smaller. Now his ass may be essentially the same but the tape measure shown here (http://01mrmotorcycle.blogspot.com/2009/02/gnats-ass.html) has perhaps a more precise unit of measure.

The 710 wheel is a close copy of the HRE new series monoblock wheel. Current style and front dish make the wheel look deep.

9.5s should look nice on the RS6 and update the look alittle without looking cheap or ricey.

But hey just me. I can always put my stockers on to look old and cranky.


The more I see this wheel, the more I like it. Never use to like this style, but I am rethinking that. Is there any picts of the smoked/gunmetal on a sedan you may be able to post?

Any idea of the weight of the VMR wheels?

[DHall1]

V710 18x8.5 et35 is 23lbs

The 19x9.5 are not on US soil yet. Give it a few days.

[Bigglezworth]

I know these are a '7 spoke' style rim, but for some reason I look at these photos, and all I can see is the Acura TL-S (yes I know it's a 5 spoke, but that's still all I think about looking at them). lol

i was looking to get the 710's about 6 months ago, and the VMR website had them listed in 9;.5 for 5x112. but when i contacted VMR they said they dont make them in 5x112, and never will.... hopefully they will change their mind now that i'm not the only one interested lol

[DHall1]

Did you read the thread?

VMR is making the 710 in 19x9.5 for Audi fitment.

There may be a set avail in hyper silver from this first shipment. LMK

ya i read the thread and i meant to say that its great that VMR is listening to its customers and offering the wheels in 9.5... if i did get the v710's, it would be in gunmetal, not silver

[Born2be]

Email from VMR, just FYI:

Hi Wade,

There haven't been any developments for a 9.5 V701 just yet. Though we are bringing in a new batch of V710 19x9.5 et33 in Hyper Silver. The first batch we brought in sold out quick.

Fitment of 19x9.5 VMR wheels to C5 RS6.

8.5 US spec rim has 5.43in backspace

9.5 VMR spec rim has 6.05in backspace

.62in difference

9.5 MTM is a known fitment and has 5.93in backspace.

Here are the pics of the rim/tire to knuckle clearance on 8.5 rim/255/40/18 tire.

What you are looking at is this. 1.12in of clearance from the rim to knuckle. .85in clearance between the sidewall and knuckle.

You know what I know. Happy boosting.

[DHall1]

Bruce,

Here is the 9.5 MTM with 275/30s. Look at the sidewall and how it pulls in and rolls over the shoulder of the tire. That shape will allow a perfect fit. We just need the Contis to do the same thing.

http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/ad348/03RSTT/RS6pics/2wdyis0.jpg?t=1262822477

[uncfrk]

I would be tempted to use a 3mm spacer to get the wheel out to the MTM spec. I don't like spacers but would use them in this case.

[Jacob@VMRWheels]

We'll have some results on the fitment with the Conti's soon :)

[DHall1]

Thanks for your help on this Jacob. As you can see above...I have poked, prodded, measured, measured again, took pictures, lost a finger, then measured the finger only to come up with ?? Maybe it will fit without spacers.

Hurry up and get that tire/rim to Bruce.

I just put down a deposit on the V710 19x9.5 rims, so can someone please post when you can recommend a 275 tire that fits without issues. Thanks! :)

GBG

[Jacob@VMRWheels]

Will do, GBG! The tire is en route and we'll get it mounted & balanced asap so we can get some answers.

Who'd you end up ordering through if you don't mind me asking? I just want to be sure none of my guys are giving fitment guarantees until we get things tested.

[terrytcl]

i may have missed it, what's the price on the v710s?

Thanks Jacob. I ordered the rims with Ty.

[Jacob@VMRWheels]

Thanks Jacob. I ordered the rims with Ty.

Ahh no wonder he was asking me about the tire sizes we were testing. We'll get you guys all setup just right :)

If the 275's don't work, I am thinking a 3mm spacer to bring it to an et30 will be the solution. Or if you want to play it safe even a 265 tire should do the job, but we want to keep you guys looking as aggressive as possible.

[DHall1]

999 a set. Discounts if you buy tires(mounted and road force balance included and the tire prices rival Tirerack)

Flat 150 shipping for rims and tires in the US mainland.

Thanks Jacob. I prefer the steamroller look of the 275s, so, if need be, I'll live with 3mm spacers. Thanks for keeping an eye on this for us! :incar:

Jacob what can you tell me about the availability of 708's 19x9.5?

What a small world. JAcob..i wrote you few days ago about the 20´´ inch size of the 701 and 708:hihi:

Let me know when you decide to make them:addict:

[mimors6]

Guys...if anybody has the 701 or 708 on the car put some pics...

That was close. No spacers, no rub. 19x9.5 with 275/30/19s

Bruce is the man. Just after dropping the jack...car needs to settle just alittle.

Dave,

Those look very nice. 2 questions. Can you take a side shot of the car? And will the wheels accept OEM Audi center caps? Good work with the wheels and tires. I almost picked up a set of anthracite OEM RS4 wheels, but those wheels look great. I still want to see a 9.5 701. Thanks!

Same here -- side view, center cap?, and if anyone can provide pics of the 9.5 701 with the 275/30/19s please do.

[DHall1]

Bruce had to take the test wheel off.

Guys, read the thread. These are the very first 19x9.5 VMR wheels to hit US soil. VMR is only making the 710s then later the 701s. After that its up in the air.




Bruce,

Here is the 9.5 MTM with 275/30s. Look at the sidewall and how it pulls in and rolls over the shoulder of the tire. That shape will allow a perfect fit. We just need the Contis to do the same thing.

[DHall1]

Now looking at the above MTM picture. See the difference below.

The VMR wheel/tire combo sits .12 inch or 3mm in from that picture. 3mm

Its about as flush as you can get to the front fender and still get that 275 tire in there.

http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/ad348/03RSTT/RS6pics/DSC_5129.jpg?t=1263743552




Are you really sure?

I always get these two wheels backwards...arrrgh.

If the oem 8.5 x 18 is 30mm backspace then the VMR 8.5 with 35mm backspace is not what we need.

The 19x9.5 MTM has 30mm backspace and fits perfect on the RS. I need to go get the calc out. 5.93 inches of backspace from center. 3.57 inches of positive dish.

The 19x9.5 VMR has 33mm backspace. We need to confirm fitment. (thats you Greg) hehe 6.05 inches of backspace from center. 3.45 inches of positive dish.

The 19x9 RS4 oem wheel has 29mm backspace and fits the C5 RS6. 5.64 inches of backspace from center and 3.36 positive dish.

The 19x9 C5 euro oem wheel as 35mm backspace and fits at the limit of backspace because not all tires will clear the control arm. 5.87 inches of backspace from center and 3.13 positive dish.

[MaxRS6]

Looking sharp and nicely aggressive..A leprechaun could fit on top of that tire until it settles..:)

Maybe I could send lil sis over to "settle" it.

[vangelis]

Guys, this photo below looks like its for 18" not 19" (at least for me),, mine are 19 and looks much bigger.

Dave,

This is excellent news, thanks for posting. So, as far as rubber, are you still thinking the Conti ExtemeContacts? Here is what my TireRack search pulled up for 275/30/19s:

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/TireSearchResults.jsp?width=275%2F&ratio=30&diameter=19&x=83&y=5

[DHall1]

Yep,

We are going with these Contis for daily driving. I like the looks of the tire and the feedback looks perfect

I've only had it for 2k miles. That's my first excuse.


I'll get to the wheel well right after I clean under the spare tire.....

( I knew someone would say something....):blush:

[DHall1]

Bruce should have his wheels mounted this weekend.

PICS!!!!

No pressure

[eurotunedrs6]

Im bumping this thread because I'm about to pull the trigger on some wheels. Is there any rubbing with the 275s on these vmr wheels? the 710s are great looking, but with my H&R springs im wondering if ill get any rubbing with a 275 tire. Also pictures of them mounted on the car if possible?

The 275's seemed to barely clear on the inside at stock height I believe. I would recommend going with a 265 to stay on the safer side since you are on springs. Feel free to email me at jacob@velocitymotoring.com if you need any help with fitment/tires. Or you can just ask for me if you call the office.
