Currently I have the Vossen CV-5, 20x9 in the front and 20x10.5 in the rear with 235/30/20 in the front and 255/30/20 in the rear.
I have not lowered the car (yet)
The rear tires are stretched very slightly... I was worried about rubbing but i wanted to keep the car comfortable and safe at the same time.
Currently I experience no rubbing at all. The rear has more than enough clearance and I have gone over bumps with people in the back seat. The front tires rub ever so slightly if i turn the wheel all the way and i am going over a bump or going over the hump in a driveway but overall I am very happy. No problems at all and its my daily driver

Btw, how's ride quality as compared to the original ?
How about road holding, noise, handling differences too ?
Also, do you know the weight of the Vossens ?
Thanks in advance...

Vossen wheels are nice, but outside of this forums they are not even close in terms of quality as a nice set of works , volks, hre or ccw
Wheels are like most things you get what you pay for, usually...

That's what i'm saying.. why do people like Vossen that much? I've never even heard of them before I came to CL. In my opinion they look pretty bland / ugly minus 1 or two models.
How much are a set of 19s Vossen anyway? 2k? less?

Vossen is big in the G community as well. They came out with fresh designs while other companies continued to recycle tired designs. They're marketing is also good at getting people excited with the videos they release. Love them it hate them they're going to be around for awhile.

If i were to get aftermarket wheels, i'd probably go for Work VS-XX. one of my favorite Mesh wheels on the market.
Pics below on a 2IS, not a 3IS, but u get the idea.. with ultra white, i'd get gunmetal rims for sure.. 19s or 20's for sure... so sick....
These wheels with Aimgain type II lipkit, nice drop and call it a day!!

Step lip is nice (I had Meister S1 2pc with step lip on my prelude) but with VSXX i think w/o step lip is nicer to accentuate the mesh pattern. With step lip, the rim looks smaller than it actually is. My 2 cents tho...
