the centercaps on these makes me think they are older produced vsxx.. not ordered new (OP correct me if im wrong).
chill out.
Yes, and I've been selling VS-XX's for as long as they've been officially available in the US... and they have never been able to be ordered in 1mm increments.

That's my point... the wheel specs are misleading and incorrect if rebarrelled. VS-XX never had step lip.

I could just shut up, and next time someone will just perpetuate the confusion.

I don't think you guys understand what I am trying to say: these are not normal VS-XX wheels.

The VS-XX shares virtually the same design as the Brombacher line of wheels... and even vendors will sell some wheels as "VS-XX" if you mix/match the disk with the barrel:

(this set is Brombacher barrel/step lip, with regular VS-XX disk.

Brombacher has 9J+18 and 10J+22 in 18".... but the disk is available only in 5x130 bolt pattern.

The center cap of the OP's wheels are identical to what Vivid Racing posted for sale on the M3 forum (5x120mm), so it seems you can get Brombacher step lip barrel with VS-XX center disk.

I'm sure if this is all useless info, someone else will tell me to shut up.
