Ask any CV3 owner... They STUN people and take your Lexus to the next level!
I didn't know you all offered that long of warranty. Good to know. My husband wants these wheels and I am thinking of the same but different spoke pattern.

5 year warranty covering what? bend or cracks? I would love to get the CV3's but the LC818's are also a great alternative. What is the price difference on our IS350's

all of the Is250 have lip kits on the vossen site except for 1, and its an awd I think. Its def my fav wheel, but Id like to see a better pic of 250, rwd no lip kit with a conservative drop. Id buy the cv3's right now if a 19" was available.

Think nebula grey, I think the matte silver would look best. I have a TP and would get matte silver.

The CV3's are plain and ugly IMHO.

Wow I couldn't disagree with you more. I think a clean 5 spoke is one of the best designs when it comes to wheels. But you're right not everyone has the same opinion.

Agreed, just too simple and bland.

I looked at the two wheels from this view as well.

The CV3s look like your average wheel (don't get me wrong, Vossens are nice wheels), but this particular design is simple and bland as 1sicklexus noted. They look similar to wheels I see at a local tire / automotive shop, such as Kragen, Pep Boys, Sears Auto to name a few.

Unlike the LC818s, 1) it has a very unique / complex design (looks expensive) 2) makes the IS look more aggressive 3) you will NOT see LC818 design at your local tire / automotive shop mentioned above. You're more likely to see these wheels at a race track / highend tuner shops.

Just my 2cents.

The CV3 is a classic design and it is far from bland especially when seen moving with the huge inner lip.

They stop traffic, period.

Check them out in this Accord vid

Or even this E55 one..

How is that bland?

Its called classic good taste on the way to legendary status
