These wheels look terrible. As someone else said, they're real....real ugly lol. Unless it's the picture, the outter rim edges look pretty beat up and the paint job is terrible. I'd say wait a little longer, save your $$ and get the ones you really want. You won't regret it. Besides, your current wheels are nice, not like you're on some busted wheels and need to upgrade now.

And anyone else think 245/285 is too thick a tire for 20" rims on a 2IS? Seems like there'd be a lot of rubbin' (unless at stock height)

You must have missed what the Admin said since this is another thread about Vossen's in which your sole interest is to throw mud on the brand.

Don't worry, I'll alert him.

1. They paint scheme looks horrible.
2. The paint job looks horrible.
3. They are Vossens (No insult intended here, Vossen tends to drag drama with them everywhere it's no secret)
4. Everyone and their grandmother has them. (good for vossen, bad for you)
5. Tires are pointless for you as those sizes wont fit properly unless you go stock height.

For that price, look at BRAND NEW Varrstoens, XXR. Both played out brand but at least their prices reflect their product.

Judging by your join date and your question id say your new. I hate rehashing things, a simple search will yield some answers.
