v710 is just another CSL-style wheel. There are like a dozen wheel manufacturers that make wheels based on the same basic design. VMR is one of the heaviest of the bunch, and lowest quality (gravity cast).

V710 isn't a CSL replica, V703 is a CSL replica. Miro's M01 is their CSL replica.

FWIW, my 19" VMR rims are wider and weigh less than the factory 18" BMW anchors that came on the car (Style 135M, 28+lb each). From what I've found, the Miro 111 was the first wheel of Miro's low-pressure cast collection. Seems their production quality has improved since I bought my last set of rims.

He is calling you rich, as in wealthy. He is bluntly asking you if you are made of money.

Judging by your 4 cars I would say you have some cash :p

OOOH, man... Don't know how I can miss that! No I'm not wealthy, I'm just well off. I'm another one of those average 25 year old business guys that played his cards right. You know... That.... lol....

If you're 25 and manage to keep that stable and a healthy [real] portfolio, you're doing mighty fine indeed. Wall Street?

No wall street. I'm not a financial guy, I'm an IT guy. Made the right investments and continuing to do so, hopefully it stays that way so I can retire early.

When you say that the car is running oem alignment specs with no rubbing, does that mean that if I put these wheels (18x8.5 +35 Front / 18x9.5 +40 Rear) on my FRS which is NOT lowered, it would also have no rubbing? I don't really want to lower my car since the height is nice for the winter, and we have 6 months of winter here. I'm new to the world of aftermarket wheels...

Im not really a huge fan of the silver FRS, but your FRS has changed my outlook on it!

yea if he was a finance guy, he wouldn't be doing that well this early on. Congrats though, I hope to be in the same boat within the next 3-5 years. IT is a good field to be in at this time. I know, we pay a lot to keep everything going haha
