Can VMR wheels handle track duty?

JK135i · 01-25-2012, 10:04 AM

During the summer I run laps around Nurburgring a couple times every month, I was curious if anyone knows if VMR wheels can handle that kind of use? I drive around that track hard enough to the point that I bent one of the stock wheels. Thoughts?

Our previous project e92 M3 was running VMR VB3s and had no problems on the track at all:

Our project 135i also was running VB3s:

Apex would be the better choice for weight strength and fitment, but the VMR's are cheaper and better looking.

VMR wheels are suitable for probably *only* for the track. I've broken (not bent...BROKEN) several of them on the street. They're complete crap.

Many of our customers have also taken their VMR's to the track with no problems at all. All our wheels are JWL and VIA certified which are the same standards many brand name and OEM wheels go through. Here are some customer photos:

Ive done three track days so far on my VB3s, and so far no problems. Also, ive had them for about four years now, so theyve seen plenty of action.
