Default Help choosing Vossens

Im going to get some Vossen wheels but an torn between the CV3 and CV7. I know the CV3 are very common in the US but I haven't seen one set over here so both would be fairly exclusive.
I'm going to get silver and my car is Pearl white.
Any help greatly appreciated

I had CV3s before but I like the new finish on the CV7s better.

I'm a little bias as I have the CV3's but I think in the silver finishes the CV7's look a little better. In the matte graphite CV3's hands down.

Why not both? CV3's on one side and CV7's on the other? lol

But seriously, glad to hear your considering us for your wheels! Both are extremely popular and good looking, especially on the 2IS. The new Silver Polish finish has been very successful and well received, but both finishes look awesome. Just depends on your taste! Either finish will look very clean against pear white!

Cv7 it is! I think the size and offsets I need are
20x9 front ET38 with 245/30 tyres
20x10.5 ET45 with 285/25 tyres
Will I still be able to wheel align car once lowered on KW or will I need some of Figs kits for adjustment. I don't track my car just want maximum tyre wear?

Great choice. I think it will depend on how much you plan to lower it. I just installed KW3's over the weekend and the car is going in for alignment tomorrow. I only lowered it about an inch all around though.

Will I need new wheel/lug bolts or can I use the factory ones?

You will need new lug nuts since they seat differently.

I have a choice of tyres
Pirelli P Zero, Hankook or Nitto
Deciding between Hankook or Pirelli as I have had Pirelli in the past. I just want the quietest and longest lasting
Any recommendations?
