Default Goodbye Vossen CV3, Hello Vossen CV7

I had an issue with my Vossen CV3's, and Vossen followed through with their 5 year warranty without hesitation.

In order to avoid a similiar situation I did not order the CV3, and instead decided on the new CV7's because I have not seen an ISF rolling on them yet!
Leo at Vossen Wheels was a damn busy man, but managed to pull through big time. Customer service was impeccable, and I will be dealing with them again.

out with the old, in with the new. ( a couple teaser iphone pics as it snowed on my way home!!)

I had chipping issues a month into owning the rims and it was driving me nuts.

The CV3's are a gorgeous rim, and I'm going to miss them. But I can't even count how many members on this forum alone have the exact same setup and that bothered me.

I will get some better pics once the snow clears up, I get the front tire replaced, and she is matte white. (yes, she is going MW this weekend)

Literally 15 minutes after have the rims mounted I ended up on the side of the highway changing a flat. The shop I deal with did not properly torque the valves. I can't even explain how pissed off I was, especially after the water soaked through the leather soles of my Allen Edmonds.

EDIT: I think we have the ugliest spare in the world.

Thats great to hear they honored the warranty with ease! I feel I never seen that on car forums, haha, everyone is always posting about having issues getting replacements ect. from companies.

Just stinks they needed to be replaced in a matter of months.

Sorry to hear about the tire and the CV3's not working out. CV7's look awesome on that color.

Its actually a Seibon CF trunk that I dissembled and combined with my OEM lower trunk piece. (our trunks are 2 separate pieces surprisingly)

Wow, I am glad Vossen pulls through for you... Nice CV7... for some reason, I still like the CV3 more, matter of personal preference I guess...
