Two very different wheels...
My opinion: do not go with the lexani's. Whether you go cv3 or not, just don't go with those lexani's. They are ugly.
Again, just my opinion.

You can definitely do a luxurious wheel over a sporty wheel, but it just has to be a tasteful one. Those lexani's are not.
Ok I'm done.

Lexani RO6 gloss silver machined would look nice. the Vossen CV3 is a good choice. the Lexani LSS-55 would look good in silver machined or hyper silver. but that's just me... at the end of the day you get to choose the wheel, it's your car.

Never been a fan of Lexani rims but you have plenty of choices. Vossen is a great choice

Work Wheels is another great option, I had these on my old GS and the quality and look is great. If your ok with a multi spoke rather then a 5 spoke design these could be a great option.



Just make sure to get a quality rim at the end of the day, all these new vendors on here pushing cheap replica rims. I'm waiting for the day members find out the reality and start having issues with these cheap china made rims.

Vossen- Over Rated + Not enough concave on the front wheels
Lexani- R-Fours Machined/Black or R-Ten's if you really want a lip
Concavo Wheels- Best choice due to their focus on giving the front wheel sizes more concaveness, and doesn't look so "goofy" like Vossen's. Their (Vossen's) front wheel has virtually no concave yet the rear wheel has a dramatic curvature...

Again... if this turns into another Vossen vs Concavo debate. I'll delete and give people vacations from the site.

Really? So much for "Freedom of Speech" in a public forum.

Lets see... last thread you were in was a thread turned Concavo vs Vossen thread... which ended up getting closed.

And now this thread... Nowhere does the OP or ANYONE but you talk about... Concavo. Not only did you bring it up...but you went at Vossen wheels. Just like what happened in the last thread.

End of story, back on topic.

Hi,

Thanks for considering Vossen for your next wheel purchase. You probably have noticed the way the Lexus community and Vossen have developed an amazing relationship and we are proud of that. We also were proud to have our wheels used for Lexus for SEMA 2012 a feat not many other wheel companies can state!

Here is a thread with some pics with CV3s. We did not invent the 5 spoke but the industry has credited us with pushing the concave look and engineering to the forefront. Now it is a very popular look.
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...v3-wheels.html

It really adds a classic yet sporty look that will never go out of style. The huge inner barrels add depth and people just love them, especially on the move. Its the classic Vossen look many are trying to replicate today!

All our wheels also carry an incredible warranty and you can ask anyone here about our high levels of customer service and satisfaction. Our customers are our biggest supporters!

Thanks again for considering Vossen and pm me or Email me at mike@vossenwheels.com if you need further personal assistance. Thank you. My wife's favorite wheel is the CV3, she thinks its sexy.

Mike

Between the wheels you asked opinions on, I would give it to Vossen on this one. They seem to complete the look a little more than the Lexani's.

I agree with bentleymp2, they are two, completely different wheels and two completely different looks. At the end of the day, it's whatever you like more, we don't have to look at it every day.

Whatever you do, make sure you lower it..so when we DO look at it, we don't have to see that wheel gap with great wheels on it!
