I don't understand the little tires. I have 275/35 front 315/35 rear now those fill the wheels very nicely. The wheels look great just the tires are too small.

That looks pretty hot. It's pretty hard to find information on these wheels though.

Am I reading this right that these are Chinese made cast wheels for $625 each? Tell me that's a mistake because for $625 for a Chinese made cast wheel I'd need to fall out of the dumba$$ tree and smack every branch on the way down before I made that decision.

Vossen wheels are very nice, just go to their web site and see their customers cars which are mostly very high end sports cars. You don't build a customer base like that without sell quality wheels. As far as tire size to go on these wheels a 255x35 front and 295x30 on the rear look great. The big thing on this car for why the tires look so small in the rear is that the car is "not" lowered which causes a visual effect of making the tire look small.

You can check out pics of my Vossen CV1's on their site and by clicking on my CarDomain link under my siggy to see how good that tire & wheel setup looks on a lowered car.

Here are some shots of them (CV3) on a GT500

Just seems crazy that someone would pay $500+ for a cast wheel. You can easily get into a nice set of forged wheels for that price.

20" forged wheels would cost a lot more than $500 to produce. Just a blank forging would cost a manufacturer close to $400 each.

But our wheels are low pressure cast.. and hand finished to the highest quality standards. You need to see one of our wheels in person to really appreciate the quality.

We also have a 5 year warranty on our workmanship/finish and also a LIFETIME structural warranty. Best in the industry.

Just ask any Vossen owner and I'm sure they will only have great things to say about our wheels!

Do you have any of the wheel weights for the fronts and backs you could share. I click on the link and it doesn't go anywhere.

I'll find out for you but I "think" I remember that the fronts were 25lbs and the rears are 28lbs but I'll double check it for you. I have several freinds who run Vossen wheels on their cars and have nothing but good things to say about them. I love mine, they are hands down the best wheels I've ever had and the looks and comments I get about them are priceless...
