Silver E39 + VMR V710 + Bilstien PSS = Pics

**nine9six** · 02-11-2010, 10:27 PM

Just a couple shots of my car on VMR V710s before I remove them for another set of rims. Size is 19x8.5 fronts and 19x9.5 rears. Overall, I think they are ok but I prefer rims with lips on an E39.

What do you think?

**Paintballistic** · 02-11-2010, 11:16 PM

offsets are wayyyy too conservative for a face wheel on an aggressive looking car.

**snosk8luke** · 02-11-2010, 11:17 PM

You know you got skills! I like either setup honestly

**540iboy** · 02-11-2010, 11:21 PM

nice m5... wait a minute. nice quad exhaust

**Jason5driver** · 02-11-2010, 11:33 PM

I prefer the Racing Dynamics.
Plus, I really don't like the painted headlight corners...
What are the new wheels?

**RobV15** · 02-12-2010, 12:35 AM

im on the market for some coilovers. i was considering the Bilstein B14 pss. However, i would like a suspension that is on the harder side. I know the dampering is not adjustable on these, so how is the ride? Have you experience the bilstein sports? Is the ride similar to the Bilstein Sports? I need some feed before i go out and jump on a set of coilovers. Thanks!

Bilstein PSS = the kit that only cost 1k? If so I'm sold on it.

We have similar taste... I like the VMR's, but the E39 really needs dish. I say you NEVER part with those Racing Dynamics!!

Don't get me wrong, I think the wheels are nice, but the fronts just look odd, like a car where someone just put in a wide body kit but still run stock wheels & offset (but obviously yours is to a much lesser degree).

This is what really got my attention. What's the story here? Or screw the story and just give us underbody pics!

**Orxan4ik** · 02-12-2010, 01:08 AM

VMR make CSL reps but they are a bit different from these v710 models. But I can see that they look very similar.

I agree, if I were to keep them, I would get 10mm spacers up front asap!

I would kill to have your red e39! that thing got potential to be super hot!

I also prefer the rd2s but I needed the cash so I did a trade for these. The next set is Hartge classic with custom polished lip. The lips is quite small compared to the rd2 but I like them.

As for the headlight covers, I like the real deal euro headlights better but I will take these considering it cost nothing to have them painted (I prefer it over the ambers for a silver car like mine)

I love the PSS coilovers! You are correct that they are not dampering adjustable and to me, it is still very soft (but then again, I am used to my super stiff suspension on my porsche). Compared to stock, they are significantly stiffer.

Yes indeed! I think for $1k, its the best I can get.

I wish I still had the Racing Dynamics

Oh well, time for some changes.

The offset is 15 for the front I think. Pretty conservative but I think I can squeeze in 15mm spacers up front to flush it with the body.

As for my exhaust, I am running M5 midpipes and straight pipes to the tips. I will get some underside pics hopefully by the weekend.

I agree 100% The rd2 had MASSIVE lip in both the front and back. The only thing I didn't like about the rd2 is the very plain color of the wheels. It can pass for stockers.

**RDR-EURO** · 02-12-2010, 03:45 AM

It looks very clean and simple with the new wheels.

But I like your Racing Dynamics wheels alot better with your car.

**mattmartindrift** · 02-12-2010, 08:30 AM

i like those better than the RD2s.

also, you go through wheels like a hooker goes through VD.

**ganzibye** · 02-12-2010, 08:45 AM

look really nice.sexy rims.

**jdjg** · 02-12-2010, 09:39 AM

I prefer the wheels you have in your signature......

**SL333PR** · 02-12-2010, 02:58 PM

So the ride is still pretty decent? I want to order the PSS's but i hadn't heard anything of them before.

What do you think?

Why no rear headrests?

Nice setup though!

**BMWUGADAWG** · 02-12-2010, 04:34 PM

sweet wheels.

That is to keep me from being bored of my car, wheels really change up the look.

Got any pictures of your wheels?

I would say the ride is better than decent. I think they are very soft and comfortable for daily use. I had GC and Koni yellow on my e36 m3 in the past and these PSS are still softer than that.

So I can see more through the rear windows. A bonus is that it makes my e39 feels more sporty. I dont know why but it just does.
