Default ISF + Vossen = CV5

Please excuse the quality of the pics. I used my new Ipad's camera and they are not superb.

Enough said...Enjoy!

I was really anxious about the fronts but they turned out great, very flush. The rears are mean in person.
Tire guy took 1 hour just mounting the set on the car as he was so impressed with the car and set up. Turned out he worked for Lexus before and knew everything about it.
The wheels in person transformed the car's look which was intentional. I wanted an edgy and modern set up which I reckon I have achieved .

Nice wheel selection. It's aggressive and classy at the same time.

Thanks for the nice comments guys!

By the way, I am rocking Hankook Ventus V12's and I was at first nervous before they were mounted. I was expecting the worst and hoping for the best and, honestly, they surprised me. I was tense about steering response but I think they are better that the stock Bridgestones ( initial impression). They are quiet and seem to handle better than stock but what do I know..am on twenties and am just your average pedestrian.
Anyways, appreciate the nice comments...

Looks nice, simple and clean. I still love my CV3s much more but those look good.

Yeah, I considered the CV3's but I wanted something different and newer. I love the CV3's as well but I think my CV5's are not shabby at all.

245/30/20 in front and 275/30/20 in the rear. They look more concave in person. I will take better pics with a real camera later. Thanks

Yea my friend is getting the CV5s for his GS soon, 10.5s all around. But the finish he wants isn't out yet.
