Default Vossen CV5s Installed!!!

Finally have new shoes installed for my 2013 Lexus GS 350 F Sport. After much debate between going with the Vossen CV5s vs. CV4s, I ended up purchasing the CV5s in the Matte Graphite Machined finish. I felt this was the more sportier look out of the two wheels, although you can't go wrong with either one. No rubbing at all so far, even with the 285/30/20 in the rear. A big thank you to Paul at Need4Speed Motorsports in California, he was outstanding to work with and went out of his way to make sure everything went perfectly. Definitely give him a call or shoot him a PM if you're interested in Vossens! Also wanted to thank Mike and Diego over at Vossen, they were a huge help in helping me decide which finish to go with. Pictures do not do these wheels justice, look much better in person!

Clean! Is that dropped or factory springs?

Thanks! Sitting on Swift Sport Springs, around 1 inch drop. Performance of these springs is second to none, there R&D is solely focused on performance and quality. While the Tanabe's will lower the car a tad bit more, I chose to go with Swift.

Looks great! I can't decide between the cv4 or cv5 either. I have time as I still haven't bought a GS yet but it's super hard choice. Also i don't know what finish to go with either. Any more pics?

Looks sharp. I like the CV5 much better. The CV4 is nice, but entirely too busy for my tastes. Plus, fewer spikes equals faster cleaning every time.

What size are you running in the front and which tires did you select?
