Hello all just had Vossen CV3's installed, 19 inch with Continental DWS. Thoughts, good choice?

Sorry meant to say New Shoes.

Looks clean goes well with the body line of the car.

If they are 19" wheels

then your running

19x8.5 + 32
19x10 + 38

Hello all running

19x8.5, 32 for front
Tires 245/35 19

19x10, 38 for rears
285/30 19

Good job need 4 speed.

For some reason I am having second thoughts about them they appear to be to silver, I expected the machine spoke to be a bit brighter.

My factory rims were chrome. I guess it's too late now or they may grow on me??

In my opinion that is a pristine look, just add a good set of springs. You can definitely get away with the stock ride height though.

Thanks guys I appreciate the positive comments. I think i just need the sun to come out so they can shine a bit. I have to say the brakes are leaving allot of dust behind. Could not believe how much I had after just a few miles of driving.

I am considering the springs, 1 inch? of drop will make the car pop as suggested.

8.5" wheel +32 with 245/35's you're fine.

10" wheel +38 with 285/30's you might rub.

I agree with the others. Give it a drop and it'll be perfect!

Thanks been doing this for sometime so I have memorized fitments haha.

Only think IMO is a nice drop like everyone else is stating and your good.

The Finish is Matte Silver Machined so it will have a shine to it depending on the angle you look at it.

The wheels go great with the car and it'll grow on you.
