VMRs?? Dynavin??

[gr330zhp]

I was soo busy the last couple week with finals, I have barely come on to see what my family(zhpmafia :)) has been up to. So another year of school is done and summer (work) is here

So I am thinking of putting some $ towards the ZHP. I am tossed between Dynavin or VMR V710s. I know, I know, 2 way different things. Not sure exactly when I will do either but hopefully soon....

VMRs- I have wanted them since day 1, especially after seeing Eli's car. My question though, I am not doing suspension til next year most likely. How will 19" VMRs look on stock suspension? My dad's M3 had OE suspension setup with 19" BBS CH and the gap was barely there. Will the ZHP be somewhat similar? If it looks somewhat similar to factory I will be happy, but if it has a noticeable amount of wheel gap, I guess I will wait...any ideas? Any pics with 19" wheels on factory suspension? Should I go 18"?

Dynavin-really like this a lot. Love the almost identical OE look, NAV, Bluetooth etc etc. From what I read, it is very easy to install myself and very easy to operate. I may be going on a good-sized trip in the summer so it would be useful. The con for the Dynavin, I am usually strict when it comes to electrical/audio modifications (worry of issues down the road). I usually dont do either, aside from A/Es

I hope to do one or the other sometime this summer.....give me your ideas brothers and sisters :)

Can I make another suggestion Stathi?

Coilovers & some spacers for your OEM wheels. Not only will it give your car a completely different look that you'll drool over, it will improve handling. Then when you get the wheels, you will have a complete look.

Drop first, then wheels. Trust me, you'll be glad you did it.

I knew someone was gonna say that :biggrin I know Eli, you are right. I should look into that as well....

[lilcdkey]

Do both :) I want to get a Dynavin eventually.

This man speaks the truth. Drop should always have a priority over wheels, mainly because nice wheels on a car with stock suspension usually doesn't look right. Search for ZHPs with nice wheels on stock suspension and see if you like the look.

Yeah eventually they will both be on the car

Stathi what up!? That is some kind of difficult decision right there. I am with the drop-first-then-wheels idea. Those VMR's will look badass on an Imola ZHP. Roadtrip? Dynavin. Suspension and rims can wait. There's nothing wrong with your current set-up... ;-)
Stop by soon!

I wouldn't personally like the look of 19 in v710s on a stock height zhp.

V710s with the more aftermarket look seem to go perfectly with a drop. And I just prefer 18s over 19s, no matter what the suspension is doing.

Either way, let us know the update! If you go vmrs, you might have to wait a bit for them. Vb3 have been backordered for a while.

I think I am convinced to wait on the VMRs for a drop

Best place to look at/buy Dynavin? Have done a good amount of research, just need to do some more :biggrin

[MrMaico]

If or when I ever get a Dynavin I'll get it from Jeff at Dynavin Solutions. You can't beat his after sales support if you have any issues or questions.

I've got a set of VMR 710's (19") on stock suspension, looks good to me...

Honestly, that is perfection to me! I really like that!

Do you have a staggered setup?? If so, how wide are the fronts and rears?

How the same car looks with a drop.

Damn Eli :biggrin I love those shots more and more every time I see them. My only other thing is, when I go low, I DON'T want to roll my fenders at all...is it doable?

[mimalmo]

Depends on the tires you choose, tire size, alignment and camber. Fender rolling is no big deal. Nothing to be scared of.

[mikeyb74]

Stathi, I had 3 e46 M3s and 1 ZHP with VMRs in yesterday all at the sametime. All of them were commenting about how everyone has VMRs at this point. One of them is considering going to the D-Force Empowers.

Also I've spotted a Imola ZHP sedan from ME with VMRs this past weekend.

[danewilson77]

VMR = CSL's?

Droid + Tapatalk = FTW!

[gr330zhp]

I see CSLs ALL the time. VMRs I really never see. Idk I still want 'em. In my opinion it is the perfect look on the ZHP. That or BBS LM-Rs... :p

If the TSW Nurburgring was offered in a silver finish I would be all over them!

[danewilson77]

Yup...the VMR's are sezzy.
