Default Thoughts on Wheels

I need some help. I am so torn between two different wheels for my Flint Mica LS430.

I have always liked a deep lip and the MRR (Roderick) RW3s look amazing.



But there is something about that concave look that draws me to the Vossen CV1



Thoughs?

Both are nice and I too have the Flint Mica LS. I really like the CV but fro some reason I think the first rim (set) will compliment the color of your car more.

MRR's are clean but if they crack easily I'd check for a warranty if possible... Vossen is a stateside company and you might have a better chance dealing with them directly. I've talked to the guys at Vossen a few times and they seem to be a bunch of good guys.

Both wheels look great, I guess it just depends on what style you're going for. The MRRs have a VIP kind of vibe. And here's an LS430 on some CV1's to give you an idea of how they look! If you have any questions, feel free to pm or email us! We'd be happy to help! Click any picture to check out the full gallery!
