Your issue has been discussed by me and others. You probably have caliper rattle where the pads are not secured by the additional spring clips to keep them from moving. Aftermarket pads can sometimes do this too. My tech used a rubber like product as a filler that can withstand heat and keep the pads tight in the caliper on my old 460. Those were Akebono pads by the way..great pad but they seemed loose in my 460. Once he fixed that, it took care of it. My brakes make that clap/click sound when I am backing up and applying brakes..but never heard unless i am at parking lot speed and windows have to be down for me to hear it

Wheels look great, I'm debating between these and the CV7 in 22".

As much as I love 5 spoke wheels I think the LS looks best with the CV1.
Looks nice as is though....or will with a drop.

Preeeeeeeeach!! The CV4s are starting to really get my attention. Looking forward to the new Vossen video with the new red LS460

This is what usually gets most people...to get 20% tint, you actually need 25% or so. There is usually a +/- variable they factor in..for example you get 35% and the meter reads 30% and the state of GA requires 32%...they won't ticket you for that..but, once you stray past that 10% less than legal limit is when you get in trouble.

The reason I put 70% forward was this post in the GS (4th Gen) forum. There's a spec sheet on Page 3 that shows the GS350 VLTs from the factory. Hope this helps.

it would be cool if this MIke guy at Vossen actually responded his private messages. I want to ask him why the finish on these wheels is super sensitive. Maybe be he can replace the wheel that literally chipped off after i dropped my wheel lock key on it from a kneeling position..
Perhaps you can relay the message to him.

A nice brake kit would look killer on your car. But they often cost more than rims themselves

I got an email from them saying the VVS-CV7 will be in 22x9 and 22x10.5 fitment for the LS460. They do not have them in stock now, and do not have an eta when they will. So they're coming, hopefully soon. Still not sure what wheels I want though.

To me, the CV4s and CV7s almost look like factory wheels. I dont know, but when i buy wheels, i dont necessarily look for wheels that look like they came with my car. That defeats the purpose. Do you buy a carbon fiber hood and paint it the color of your car to make it look like it came with your car or do you slap it on and leave it to make it stand out from others? That is how i feel about some wheels. They just look like factory wheels that are larger in size (in this case 22s) but they dont make you go daaaaaaaaamn that is hot.
Just my opinion..

That's exactly the reason I've been leaning towards the vossen cv3 in gunmetal. Ill probably change my mind another 100 times before deciding on a wheel.

CJITTY 03-28-13 10:25 AM

I actually like the "more aggressive stock looking wheel" styles more. I like my car to look nice, but not really interested in standing out too much. So I am pretty conservative with my wheel choices. The CV4s to me look very nice in 22s especially. That machine finish looks great and shines just enough...that with the concave gives it a nice clean look to me. But that is the beauty about wheels and our cars, we all have our own styles. My headlights attract folks to the car lol...hopefully you have learned to love your 600 lights and really appreciate how people would steal from their own mama to get some of those
