Default Vossen 20' cv1,cv2,cv3

Guys serious question. I was quoted $2800.00 for 20' vossens either cv1,cv2 or cv3. With tires mounted and balanced. Unsure of the tire brand...calling now ok so he said a no name brand tire......So pretty much im paying 2800. for the rims with knock off tires! Please gimme an idea of weather no not i should even bother with this.

Go for it. I love my Vossens. I have Nankang tires which are good and reasonable priced.

Yea. When I called the place he told me they were not a name brand tire.....So im kinda mixed on going through this place. He said for name brand it could be more. I mean Im kinda lost on what to do. Plus i really wanted 19' not 20' but the price sounded so good!

I suggest better tires, pay more for safety... You'll never knew what might happen. The thing about branded tires, you can actually look for reviews before buying.

It's up to you.

I would for sure spend the few hundred extra and get some quality tires. Safety is worth it. (IMHO)

For $2800 you can easily get them with a name brand tire.

Cheaper tires tend to be LOUD! I bought Nankangs cuz they were cheap but swapped them out shortly for Hankook v12 due to noise. I should have done it right from the get go.

i used to have nankangs, two tires had bubbles in them in a few months and i had no choice but to change them out bcz it could have poped at any time. dont go with cheap tires, in the end it will cost you more
