Help with wheels.. (Miro or VMR)

Hey guys!

I'm trying to decide between getting Miro 112s or VMR V710s. Both will be 18x9.5, 5x120, and very close center bores of 72.56(miro)/72.6(vmr).

The only differences are Miros are cheaper (cast wheels), the VMR are +45 offset while the Miro are +40 offset.

I don't know a ton on wheels and have read as much as I can from the other miro threads, but would it matter too much to go cast wheels over forged? And how about offset?
Thanks!

EDIT: I think VMR are cast as well...

I would go with the Miro I think but you should maybe put up some pics of the car and wheels so people can give better opinion!

Alright here are some pics of the two rims, they are both very similar, but I'm also looking for fitment help D:

Just seen them vmr wheels on a golf Gti And they looked really nice. Ugly center cap to be but looked to be a quality wheel

I think that's the direction I want to go as well. My polished deep-dish ZR1's are looking dated.

Yeah I'm leaning towards the Miros, just because of the price and that they are both cast wheels.

Does anyone know if an offset of 40 or 45 would be more optimal?

I know there are a few users who have the miro 111s.

I run VMR VB3's on my car at 45mm off-set which are similar to the 710's. I love them!

I'd love to see some pics! My WS6 is white as well

Did you have to do anything extra for fitment?

They are 19x9.5" I ran nothing extra for fitment, they were just fine lol

I just need to lower it and I will be completely satisfied with how my car looks.

RikkiTorment, damn your car looks awesome

ours look almost identical. I could see it finishing that look with some BMR springs or something similar.

vikingramair, did you have to get hub centric rings for your Miros?

I like the Miro 111's, there's some pics of a black trans am with them floating around on here somewhere. 18x9.5 with a 40mm offset should sit just about flush with the top of the fender.
