vossen cv3, 19" vs 20"

After installing the new catback and intake, i thought i was done...then i started looking at the gallery and started loving the vossen cv3's....will this ever end?

I saw that they have both the 20" and 19" rims on their website. My question was which would look better. (pictures would help) Note that I will NOT be doing a drop -- I live in the NE and the car is low enough as it is.

The benefit (in my case) ofthe 19" rims is that I can continue to use my piolet sports (which are excellent and new).

19s would be great!

They have a 8.5/10.0 width so running some nice meaty tires would suit them well! Offsets are +32/38. GL with your decision and thanks for your interest in Vossen wheels

I am also looking at getting the 19inch over 20. Do you know what lbs are on 19? I know the 20 are 1lbs over stock sport 19's.

anyone know how much the stocks weigh? Also I currently have tires that fit the stock rims, i don't imagine i'll have issues transferring them to the 19 cv3's?

so i've decided on CV3's!

I'm planning on mounting my blizzaks on my stock 19's and having the cv3's for the summers. I was planning on buying 4 more tpms sensors for the winters.

Can I run without sensors? I know i'll probably get the triangle with the '!'

Anything else special I should know before buying a new set of rims? THanks in advance!

yes, you'll be fine without the TPMS. The TPMS caution light indicator will turn on.

post pics when you have them on, Id like to see the CV3's in 19"

I'm confirming with the guys i'm probably getting the cv3's from, but might as well ask here as well:

Will these tires fit on the 19/8.5 fronts and 19/10 rears of the CV3's:

Front: 225/45
Rear: 245/40

Currently they're on the stock 19/8.5 and 19/9

Front is same as stock! Rear is a 10.0 vs stock at 9.0 you will be fine just next time you new tires move up to 245/40/19 and 275/35s

How did the 19 inch CV3's turn out? I am thinking of getting them myself. Is there only one offset for 19 inch rim and does it clear the large calipers on the S coupe?

I've been thinking about these same rims as well, some of my questions got answered here, thanks Vossen.
I need to wait and get some Akebono's first, these stock breaks would like blah with those CV3, sorry to thread jack, but anyone happen to have pick of CV3 with small breaks?
