I think they look great on the 5er, the GS and the Z. Don't like it so much on the IS, G37 or Audi.

The more I see these the more I don't like them. Just too many darn spokes. Looks like chuck wagon wheels.

Those wheels look nicer than any set of wheels I have seen on any GS for a long time. The concave shape is amazing

I think it's an optical illusion...the combination of the concave spokes and high offsets make the wheel "look" even more sunken in.

I'd like to see a 350Z sizing on the 3GS. That would look a lot better.

Some slight rubbing in the back when I go over bumps. Nothing major, yet. I haven't noticed anything in the front yet.

Another question - What's the best product to clean these wheels with? Break dust, grease, etc?

So i purchased my Vossen VVS-CV1's... I received them, but the centric hub rings only fit on the front wheels, and not the rears. The rear rings were too big to fit into place. I was first told by the place i ordered them from, that the size is different, and they are sending the correct size. Now, they are telling me that the rear are already hubcentric and don't require and rings???? I find this hard to believe, since the shop that put them on was having trouble centering the wheels by hand. Also find it hard to believe since Vossen sent 4 rings with my wheels, why send 4 when only 2 are needed. Also other members on here are saying you need rings for the rears too. Can any one please clarify all this with me. Im trying to get the alignment done soon, and dont want to do that unless i know the rims are on correctly. Thank you very much.
