Changing is always a good thing.

Choosing wheels is a very personal preference. Seven-spoke- design doesn't win me well. The spokes are too thick, but to each his own.

However, the overall look of the CV7 on your car is very nice though. Especially the finish of the CV7 is awesome. It is just me that I always love mesh-design wheels (once again, personal preference).

In any case, be confident and follow your heart. It is your car afterall!

Sorry for giving honest and straight forward opinion.

No problem man. I Appreciate the follow up message as well. Must people never explain why they don't like something. I still love the cv2's but just needed something new and fresh. It's really the polish finish on these wheels that got me.

I must agree with that, its personal preference, but i gotta admit this, those rims looks good, it should look better in person, but for me i think CV2 looks better... Nice wheels anyway..

Lowered with BC Racing Coilovers, damping at 10 clicks from hard in the front and 14 clicks in the rear.

No fender mods in the fronts, and just a 45° roll in the rears for the meaty tires.
The fronts rubbed a little when going over dips, the tabs were clear, it was rubbing the bubble plastic piece inside the fender well at about 10oclock. I just let the tires rub it down on its own, since it was not hurting anything. After a day of that, there is no rubbing at all.

The wheel offsets are +32 front, +38 rears. sizes are 8.5X19 front, 10X19 rear.
