Fake Vossens?

Hey everyone,

After finding out the offsets on the wheels I purchased wont' work, I've been looking around for another set of used wheels to put on my 2007 sedan. I came across these and was wondering if anyone had ever seen these before, or knew if there are actually people that create fake Vossen wheels and attempt to market them as the real deal. Here is a picture of the wheels in question:



Edit: Link doesn't seem to be working, direct link found here:

I've searched high and low for a picture of these but haven't found anything. They almost look like the discontinued 085's but the area where the spoke meets the barrel seems off.

I will also be sending an email with the photo to Vossen to see if they can clarify.

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

That is one of their discontinued line from around 2008. VVS-075

Not fake... just ugly.

Those are some ghetto looking rims, probably overpriced as well?

Wow, tough crowd. I actually thought they looked pretty nice.

Definitely not overpriced, whole set for the cost of what one vossen wheel usually runs. One small dent that I can get fixed at rimdoctor for 80 bucks..

Bump for the unnecessary flame,

Just search the site for vossen 075, there's been people running them. Not my favorite wheel I'll admit but at under 500 for a set locally it's tempting.

These sold the same freaking day...

Yes there is a certain demographic of people who like this style of rim.

Not if they were on a spaceship.

OP it's your car do what you like, your's is the only opinion that matters. Just don't expect a lot of love from this crowd, it's a tough one.
