Forks don't use v-brake mounts... they use u-brake mounts. That said F25s are by far the best. I have them myself.

If you want a steep fork with minimal offset, I have a set of older Odyssey flatlands I am looking for a new home for...I think.
I may just strip the paint, polish them and rock em for some front brake action. Maybe.

V-Brakes?! BMX use U-Brakes. As mentioned the best Fork with U-BRAKE Mounts are the Odyssey F-25s or if you want to go Super Steep Offset you can get Primo Strand V2s with U-Brake Mounts.

Anyway, in addition to the previous suggestions, Deco Fu-Forks can be purchased with mounts, as well as And Forks 23mm model, I THINK

Yes, and they are removable mounts! PERFECT.

Whilst forks with V mounts exist, and V brakes make excellent front brakes, you're not going to find any forks with those mounts that are quality unfortunately, only cheap garbage that I wouldn't want anyone to risk their face on
So give up on V's and start looking at forks with U's
