This forum is very Vossen pro, but ya build quality will typically be higher and customer service better on a "bigger name brand" rim.

Lighter is not something i'd be concerned with when comparing to Vossen, not exactly known for their lightweight rims.

I do agree that I personally would not "upgrade" my stock rims until I have the money for a "quality" brand. Our enkei stocks are quite light and some of the best looking stock rims period (if you are talking 19" sport that is).

I'm gonna be saving up for some advans or work or something real nice, till then I can "live" with my stocks :P

They do look like CV1, definitely a good looking clone so if you like the look than I'd say you did alright! Get a drop FOR SURE

Wheels look good man! Don't mind the negative comments...like mykke said, if they're not Vossen then 90% of the people on here won't like them...even if they look exactly the same and are from a reputable company. Good luck with them

Is it just my monitor or do the wheels look photoshopped?

Looks good OP.

Go for the drop - The pros: mainly better looks. The Cons: potentially some loss in ride quality, but this is a constant source of debate on here. Read some of the suspension threads and you will get an idea of the parts avaialbe (i.e. Springs or Coil overs), what brands are out there, and how they improve or decrease ride quality.

Most of all, forget the haters and enjoy your ride!

Good eye, it looks to me like the entire picture was stretched. The Wheels look oval shaped.

our Stock 19s weigh 26 1/2 F and 27 1/2 Rear

CV3 is our lightest wheel and still at 27 F and 28 Rear.

Difference is minimal but to each there own.

What do you think about lowering the car? Pro's & Cons of that?

would it look good to paint the tail lights black just a bit.. not to dark?


Well since you asked, I'll tell LOL

I think there are 4-5 rims styles in that window behind your car that look WAAAAAAY better than those. Even though they aren't Vossens, they LOOK like Vossens....THE Vossens that most people seem to put on G37's. I don't understand so many people's ambitions to look like each other on this website. It really twists my brain, LOL. To me the factory 19's that come on the different Sport models look better than these.

But again, why pay thousands of dollars to look like everyone else?

Of course, I'm sure they look better than the factory 18's though. So it is an upgrade for you, personally. They def don't look bad.

But I would have gone with something more original.
