Default Vossen CV3 vs. Stance SC5

So here's a side by side comparison of the Vossen CV3 and the Stance SC5. What do you prefer?

I prefer the SC5 because it has lip and available in 19's. And they cost less than the CV3's.

Both nice. I like the design of the SC5 aesthetically. Though neither are difficult to clean, I would likely choose the CV3, less corners to have to work a rag into when cleaning.

i seen these before i purchased my CV3's . i didnt go with them because the inner lip (behind the spokes) and the fact that the spokes dont come as close to the edge makes the wheel have a smaller look. when you have full longer spokes that go closer to the edge with less interior backing the design looks larger and more sleek.
Trust me i wanted to save money before i bought the vossens but... i notice everything (****)

Thanks for the business! Glad you went with the new-age classic! One of our guys (and Club Lexus member BSanders22) has had both the SC5 and CV3 and told us the same thing. The step-lip on the Stance wheels made his 19's look smaller and harder to clean than the CV3's. He also told us that the CV3's balanced and ride better than the SC5's (no steering wheel vibrations past 75-80mph anymore), with the exact same tires/ride-height, etc. Plus, you can't beat our 5 Year Warranty



Here's Bobby's ride on his old SC5's for reference (19x8.5 fronts/19x9.5" rears)


And here it is now with the CV3's (19x8.5 fronts/19x10" rears)

Agreed, in the pics above, the CV3's look much better than the SC5. As stated, the SC5 makes the wheel look smaller than it is.

My question, now that the CV7's are out, Vossen CV7 or Stance SC6? Stance has extended the blades to the edge of the lip on the SC6, looks much better than the SC5's IMO. Both look similar and have a nice & clean look. Stance is appealing to me because the quotes I'm getting are $500-$1000 less for the Stance. (I don't mind paying more if it's for quality, but I hear most dealers over-inflate the price of the Vossens? not cool!)

I rather have the CV3 than the stance wheel.
