Hey everyone I have the honor and privilege of being the first 3IS in the world riding on the brand new VOSSEN CVT 19" wheels. The wheel specs are 19x8.5 +32 and 19x10 +42 For those wondering I am dropped on RSR Down Springs and I have not modified my fenders in anyway. Car rides amazing with no rubbing. *warning- wheels will break necks* For pricing and all other info please contact the great people at Vossen info@vossenwheels.com More pics as promised!

Weight of wheels? 10.5 rear sounds a bit looney!

Thank you, Will post some more pics tomorrow and later on this week. They sit pretty flush but can be more flush if you wanted with spacers.
