$1200 with tires for 20" Vossen ... just seems so tempting
245/35/20 - 3k miles
285/25/20 - 7k miles
i'm assuming tires are worth atleast $700
Wheels are definately more than $500 even with crappy paint job

soooo tempting....hmmm

How would these look on my black is350

Anyone have pics with these on their Lexus is350

They are asking $1200 which includes Falken tires
Yep those are real. Real ugly that is. Get the regular finish that vossen offers or stick with your wheels as others have said. Whoever is selling those wheels it looks like they did a home made spray can paint job on it. You'll regret buying those come time to part out.

I hope you were being sarcastic lmao

OP: the paint job on those wheels look horrible, don't waste your money. At least buy them in their original finish and paint them however you want

Yeah bro. I've seen so many vossen reps in a lot of popular wheel shops in south FL. Some of them even carry real vossens as well lol

Once the sizes are correct, they seem real. The black paint makes it harder to see the concave design.

Actually its gotten really bad, from copying the exact wheel to copying video locations to copying font, stealing web domain names, and warranty info to style etc etc...got a minute . There is a lot of work going on behind the scenes against the fakes, knock-offs and copies and beginning stages to work with other reputable wheel companies to help slow down this madness.

HRE, BBS, Volk, Work, now Vossen..... people want to copy the best

I didn't know that Vossen was in the same league as HRE, BBS, Volk, Work.
There's only so much you can do with a circle? Someones bound to make similar designs
for example

though I admit this is pretty messed up as far as copying http://www.alibaba.com/showroom/voss...wheel-rim.html

(Posts removed) guys if you turn every wheel thread into running immature pissing match I'm going to lock you outside to do your business in the yard for a few weeks. Knock it off.
