Howdy CL members...

I'm debating between 20" Vossen vs Niche vs Velgen brands. We all know how Vossen making good marketing, not cheap wheels. At the same time a few other brands that making a good looking wheels as well. My concern is a quality across all 3 of them. I can't recall that someone bended a Vossen wheel but people saying that coating / paint is so thin that get chipped quickly, I might be wrong though. Anyone has more knowledge and help me to chose which one to go with based on quality, durability, paint etc. Reading other forums via google search, people recommend forged wheels, does Niche make forged or casted?

P.S. I did try to search the forum for answers but not much info regarding comparison. I'm pretty sure there is similar existing threads exist...

I have graphite Vossen CV7s. I haven't had any problems with them in terms of chipping, bending, etc.

I think you should pick up some SSR wheels. I'm actually selling mine for really cheap lol. Anyway Vossen is a better choose out of those three

If you want quality, get HRE or ADV.1

Thanks to all of you... I might go with Vossen VFS2 in graphite color since my GS is white.

^^^ looking good, I wanted to put silverish color on my white GS but I want to separate wheels color with body color. Here is how I want it

VFS2 is flow formed out of cast wheel.. lighter than low pressure cast wheels but still cast at the end of the day...

Vossen does have a forged line and so does Niche but I do see more people out in the market with the Vossen VF, CV series and Niche Sport series since i'm sure they're cheaper and faster to punch out..

Velgen boldly advertises on their site that their wheels are low pressure cast.

Mine are actually that color but lighting is bad... I was thinking of re-doing mine to gloss black over the winter.

I appreciate feedback from you all, I understand that there is tons of info here already but still wanted to post. Seems like following set up is good from specs side that meets my taste. I should not have any rubbing issues?! Also, will my tires look stretched or not? Switched wheels from VFS2 to VPS-305 for forged.

Wheels:
20x9 ET38 front
20x10.5 ET45 rear

Tires:

I put these Niche Apex on my car about 2 months ago.
I chose them because the wheels I had before these cracked. I wanted something with a Lexus-like reliability history but wasn't so expensive since I'm leasing. I know these will NEVER crack nor break. The finish is rock solid. You can see and feel the quality.

Niche is made by MHT. They have been around longer than any of these other companies.

I thought about Vossen but too many people have them. I wanted a 5 spoke but don't really like the look of that Vossen cast 5 spoke (don't know the name of it). Vossen stands behind their wheels better than anyone except maybe HRE but Niche wheels don't seem to need that kind of backing. They don't fail.

All of the wheels you named should be OK. I think they're all made by MHT anyway. Vossen forged are made in house but not the cast wheels.Velgen is probavly made by MHT.
