Thumbs up Going 10.5 all around!

Just decided on my new wheels for next season, I had been looking for something with a nice concave instead of the big lip.
Came across the Vossen CV3 early and couldn't find anything that I loved more. I had been looking into it a bit and it seems like 10.5 in the front will be quite easy to pull off. The 10.5 comes with a +15 offset, so a small spacer will be necessary to get the look I want.

Anyone else changing it up over the winter? I'm adding coils and I'm still deciding on the K2 or a lip.



Youtube Vid of these things rolling. Vossen does some nice work on these videos.

Not a fan of the wheels personally but I wish you luck! Let me know if you need a hand with fitting them to the specs you want.

No idea what that guy is saying either lol. The wheel has grown on me. I was also thinking about the Varrstoen 2.2.2 19x10.5. I am a dealer for them so I get a decent price. Thanks, I'll let you know.

By the pic you posted of the wheels you want that car looks like a four wheeled cartoon! Wheels are TFB big and the tires way too stretched. I can understand how you might be attracted to this combo cause it would draw attention, but it's not really streetable.

Gary, give up, that G37 is daily driven. "Streetable" is a thing of the past.

Fitment is poop. All that stretch to not sit flush. Why bother

Those Vossen CV3s look fantastic as long as you have nice BBKs since they are so open.

He hates replicas more because its basically a knock off of companies that have been doing it right for years. Vossen at least tries to be unique with their designs and don't make phony center caps to pose to be something they aren't.

I hate Vossens because the company is owned by hacks and ignorant ****s that think they reinvented the wheel. Replicas are for a different thread.

Believe it or not, there are a tonne of us on here that daily drive our cars in the "real world" and guess what.... I've never bent, cracked, scraped or curbed a wheel and that's 2 years running aggressive stretches and offsets. So your point is irrelevant AND wrong. G'day.
