No, that just means that the company that copied another companies design didn't put much creativity into their product. That doesn't mean their wheels are bad.... Wheels are wheels - they are all round with spokes.

Well You obviously made your comment and put a thumbs down by it to infer something!

I think its obvious who pushed Concave wheels to the front of the industry and imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. We didn't invent the 5 spoke design at all but what we did was add more depthness, an inner lip and a clean modern look to a classic design. Look now at all the wheels like the CV3 after the CV3. Ask yourself, where were they before the CV3? Honestly the wheels share 5 spoke design but are very different. They have their happy customers and we do. We do have companies that blatantly copy with no shame and that hurts the industry as a whole.

Vossen also stands behind our wheels and we have stood behind this Lexus community, we have supported meets big and small coast to coast and been as accessible as any company can be. The legions of demanding Lexus owners who expect the best like their vehicles can't be wrong. We have done wheel giveaways, raffles and I can easily have owners come in here to add their Vossen story.

Some people prefer the chrome lip look and some want a cleaner look. Price points are also different. Good luck on your purchase!

I've seen both the CV3 and Stance SC5 in person, rolling on cars. By far, the Stance wheel has more pop. So it comes down to whether you want a more understated look like the CV3 or an eye-catching look with the Stance.

My vote goes to vossen but i'm partial (running them on my car). I do not like the SS lip on the stance, other than that nice wheels.

Just my opinion, but as much as I know the Vossens are quality wheels I just think they look very plain on the GS. The pic with Liquid Platinum does nothing for me and gives me no reason to switch out my stock wheels.

I think the lip on the Stance wheels makes the wheel look really small! I way prefer the Vossen personally.

Obviously both wheels are very similar, yet different at the same time. Now we don't know about Stance's warranty, but as Mike said, we stand behind our products 100% and we've got a 5 year warranty that will cover just about anything if an issue arrises.

And, as stated, both wheels are at different price ranges, so it also depends on your budget. Good luck with your decision and post some pics when you get those new shoes!

The price is not a deal breaker for me. I do not however want to go over vossen's price points.
I'm sure that I want a little more flair than the cv3s. I'm considering cv7s.
I love this forum and I love vossens involvement in this community. Based on that, I'd imagine their customer service is probably exceptional.
A thanks to everyone for being a part of the discussion!

Check out Concavo Wheels. Blows both companies out of the water. Vossen's are over-rated and over-priced.

I like the Concavo because the spokes have a more tapered design. The gap between the spoke and the lip on the Stance looks like it might be difficult to clean.
