I did one more shitty chop to sell myself on the gunmetal. I'm going gunmetal. The V702 was actually the wheel design I have kind of been looking for. I have always been attracted to the clean backlip blocky multispoke wheels, but there isn't a lot of selection. The Evo Xs are a more aggressive fitment than I want to run, wheels like the the Rota G-Forces have too much concave with the spokes sticking out 10mm past the lip, and wheels like the Konig Milligram aren't available anymore.

You switch wheels more often than hoes switch clothes.

dale_gribble 11-15-2013 10:08 PM

This is all true.

The gun metal would look good against your white.

Did you look at the matte silver? I liked them, but felt they'd always look dirty from brake dust.

Those are great looking wheels. I've got a set of VMR's on the GTI and the quality is great.
If these where out when i bought the momo's. I might have went this way.

Here's a couple pics the guy at VMR sent me; I wanted to get a better feel for the concave of the 18x8.5 +45. As you can see, there is some concave there. I like how the spokes don't go all the way to the lip and I like the multi angles on the spokes. It isn't a cheap looking design. It's a nice, clean and simple design more on the OEM'ish side than other aftermarket wheels. I will hopefully be getting these installed early next week.

I want the silver ones in the back left of the first pic!!!

dale_gribble 11-20-2013 12:01 AM

msantana101 11-20-2013 12:15 AM

They aren't for general sale just yet. They are running a pilot here in SoCal first.

The Ridge 11-21-2013 01:02 PM

looking forward to pics. I do like the clean look. Will probably look good on every color speed as well in either gray or silver.

dale_gribble 11-24-2013 11:19 AM

I should be getting these installed this week. Pretty stoked. You stoked @mazdaspeedmyk;?

I can't wait. I'm as excited as a kid at Christmas. I'm hoping Mitch has mine ready soon. Has he set a photoshoot date for you? We haven't discussed it since I met with him.

dale_gribble 11-24-2013 11:47 AM

He sent me a text, said he is trying to get our sets expedited and ready for pickup by the end of Tuesday. No photoshoot date yet but that will be a lot of fun. I am really surprised we are the only two that signed up. We are getting these things at a killer price.

VMR wheels - 2014 V702 18x8.5 +45
 
I'm surprised too. We just might be the only two Mazdas with them for a while. The deep discount is the main reason I decided to get a set. I wasn't even looking to buy wheels.

Are you going to get yours on Tuesday, if they're ready? I asked him to try and have mine done by then, since I'm selling my Rays and need them before Thanksgiving.

VMR is still looking for more Mazdas to sponsor, so PM me if anyone is interested and I'll give you the contact info.

dale_gribble 11-27-2013 10:04 PM

Picked up my wheels from VMR's warehouse today. I think we are going to be able to pull some sweet wheel designs from VMR into the Mazda community. These wheels are badass in person.

I'll have the privilege of having the first set of these new wheels on my car in the country. I'll get them installed Friday and post pics after. The wheel guy said these have to be reverse mounted, i.e. face down on the mounting machine.

daytonabluez05 11-28-2013 11:00 AM

Can't wait to see them man

EvoFire 11-28-2013 03:07 PM

SoCal only eh? Puts me out of the running, otherwise I would love to sign up.

I don't like anything fancy so these are up my alley.

However I don't see the V702's on their site. Are they a prototype?

daytonabluez05 11-29-2013 06:20 PM

Looks awesome man thanks for the pics!

Ya, these aren't generally available yet. I'll find out when they are coming out and let you know.

msantana101 11-29-2013 08:51 PM

These look good on a 6 and I think will look good on a Juan, but not sure how they would look on a pu.

I'll get weight for you. I was told 22#, but I didn't confirm. I'll ask my rep to weigh one.

mazdaspeedmyk 12-02-2013 05:11 PM

The Rays are boxed up and the VMRs are getting their tires put on.
