20' Matte Silver Velgen VMB8's on AW

JCat27 · 06-16-2014, 12:01 PM

I Picked up these Velgen VMB8's in a matte silver finish a couple weeks back and finally got some pics to post. I Dealt with Ray @ Velgen and had them w/in a week from ordering. I could not be happier with how they look. I think they make the car look so clean and aggressive. We did a photo shoot for them in Charleston showing off the wheels and here are a couple pics.

Let me know what you think!

Looks nice!

Velgen is Dutch for 'wheels' ;-)

Thats funny, that name will seem weird to people in Belgium, Netherlands and S Africa and where ever else Dutch is spoken (not sure where else).
Oh well, most people in the US are not going to know that and i know they are based out of FL. I wonder if they knew that when they were naming the company.

SteveL1 · 06-17-2014, 12:11 AM

Looks awesome! Do you ever attend the Cars & Coffee on Saturdays in Mt. Pleasant? We are picking up our new 535 at PCD on the 26th and will be stopping in Charleston for a couple of days. Was planning on dropping by the Cars & Coffee on the 28th and would love to see your car in person.

Cool pics and nice wheels, not often you see an 8-spoke wheel.

Hope you can as I would love to see it in person. Might actually be able to convince my wife that we need to lower ours and go for aftermarket rims.

She is currently leaning toward oem 19" M-sport rims to replace the Modern Line rims but I want to go to 20's.

JCat , the car looks GREAT. Yes we knew the name Velgen meant wheels in Dutch, some people don't know what it means thats why we keep the word wheels with " Velgen ". I know it sounds crazy " Velgen Wheels = Wheels Wheels".

Black5 · 06-18-2014, 12:41 PM

very nice!

bake · 06-18-2014, 02:28 PM

Nice wheel choice. Love to see people making their cars unique and not just slapping on what everyone else is.

KB7 · 06-18-2014, 07:02 PM

That looks great, congrats!

Technically, "velg" is merely the part on which the tires lays. A "velg" is part of a wheel, but "velg" is not the same as wheels. Although commonly, "velg" is referred to as "wheels".

Car looks good, like the choice in style, the finish compliments your car nicely.
