We are very excited to announce the Vossen Photo Tour. In the next 6 months our photographer (Anthony) will be traveling to many US cities to shoot the hottest cars on Vossen Wheels.

This coming Thursday to Sunday (10/7/2010 to 10/10/2010) our photographer will be in the NY/NJ/CT with all his equipment and ready to shoot.

So if you live in the Tri-State area and have Vossen Wheels on your car please email us a picture of your car along with your phone number. We will get back to you before this Thursday to set up a time and location for the photo shoot.

Can anyone confirm? If their chrome i will have to find a different set of wheels. Has anyone had any problems bending these wheels? I have have bent 3 forged Prodrives in the last 6 months. mainly due to running stretched tires to avoid rubbing. Anyone think if i run the 20x9 and 20 x10.5 with 235/30/20 & 265/30/20 i will have enough rubber to avoid bending the crap out of my wheels?

It will be fine, Vossen makes a great set of wheels. I seen A LOT of people stretching their tires with these wheels. I think anyone would agree that Vossen wheels are great wheels and you can go to VossenWheels.com to see the finishes on the wheels. They are Machined and polished, not chrome.

They're polished, at least the 086's are.

They bend pretty easily. I'm running stretched tires and I hit this small curb at like 5 mph not even that hard and just hammered up my lip. I'm going to see if I can straighten it out without killing myself. Otherwise I'll either buy a new rim or have it repaired. It didn't blow the tire out or anything, just made the rim look like SHlT

I thought the Vossen monoblocks had a stainless steel lip. I'm pretty sure they do. Very easily bent so be careful. It would be 100 times more durable if the lips were chrome.

The stainless lip is essentially just a sleeve that wraps the lip which is made out of cast aluminum.
