ZCP vs. VMR's VB3 WHEELS

Phin · Mon, Aug-30-2010, 10:47:31 PM

It's pretty much like the title states....which is better...pros and cons

I've settled on the "CSL" look for my 06' Silver Gray M...shocker,I know...

Anyways I'm trying to decide what wheel to get.If I have this right the ZCP's are 19x8 in the front and the VB3's are 19x8.5 in the front(which is more like the real CSL wheel). The VMR's are a lot cheaper and this my biggest concern I don't want to buy an inferior wheel.Please let me know what your our take on these wheels gentlemen....Tischer's got a great price on the ZCP's,but on the other hand if the VMR's are a true equal,then it's decision time...

Oh...I like the silver finish on the wheels...fwiw

This has been discussed several times in the past, and essentially what most people have boiled it down to was that VMR was less expensive, there are more color options, they are .5" wider than the ZCP's and they're also a bit more readily available (unless you consider used ZCP's on this forum).

ZCP's are REAL, which I guess accounts into some members decisions, they are a bit lighter but you also have to consider they're just a tad smaller in width, and they look great, but then, so do the VB3's from VMR.

It's a tough call but personally I would take VB3's over ZCP's unless I was trying to make the car super clean, and have all OEM parts... Any aftermarket parts on the car in terms of body work, I would go straight to VMR instead.

That's just my opinion though, and what I've seen on this forum.

VMR's build quality is not inferior.

Look for look, the ZCP's are closer to the CSLs.

So VMR quality is equivalent to BBS?
