Vossen CV3 Concave 5 Spokes - Installed - Pics

The wheels are amazing! They actually have a stainless steel edge to protect the rim. The 305/25-20 are HUGE and look so good. I didn't think it would look that much bigger than the 295/30-19 I was running, but they seem to big quite larger. After running the gray Ruf reps I found the silver contrast very refreshing.

The stance with the wheels are perfect - I couldn't be happier.

The parking lot pictures were right outside where they were installed and they had finger prints all over them. Just the same I couldn't resist.

How come the homes are so close together? Are they townhomes or zero lot homes? I'm in real estate and I'm always curious about the different types of homes in different parts of the country.

Yeah, they're town homes. I'm leasing for now. I commute between San Antonio and Chicago.

I was one that was not a fan when you bought them, they look much better than I thought, I still think 19's would look better, but I like them. The other picture you put up the car was to low. They look great and should be very easy to clean as well, that is a Win-Win!!!!!!!

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks. Seriously, the pictures do not do them justice - the outer lip is stainless, the face has a muted polished look - overall very clean.

I used to think 20" were too big, but I think with this wheel given the lip depth, and seemingly a stepped barrel that gives the illusion of not being as wide open as a 20" without a step - not sure other than I really like them a lot. I've been out to my garage now several times and just keep looking at them. I like the fact they're also forged.

Is the car lowered, or is it just the 20's?

Yes, it's lowered on H&R Coil Overs and lowered quite a bit. I love the ride height.

Those are forged? I thought they were cast?

CORRECTION: They're monobloc - not sure where I got "Forged" but that's not the case.

I think I know what you mean.....they're elegant and simple at the same time......and flow really well with the car IMO....
have seen these wheels alot of E55's and other Benzes that look great.....this is the first time seeing them on Porsche.....very nice.....
I still have a set of CV1's from when I had my E63.....even had them on my cls for a few weeks

looks great!

Your car looks great! My car is the one on the Vossen website and I've had the wheels for some time now and am really happy with them. After the photo/video shoot I added 3mm spacers in front and 12mm in the rear and it gives the car a very aggressive look in my opinion and no rubbing. i just finished installing the turbo/techart wing too, just working on final wiring now.

I can measure tomorrow but I can assure you it's lower than 1.5". That's one of the reasons I didn't install my H&R springs and went with H&R coil overs. I'll post ride height tomorrow. Likely 2"

I wouldn't be able to drop 2" I don't think. I think ultra150 yours sits nice as well, but I would be scraping over everything
