Glad you like the wheel...

It's a low-pressure cast wheel so it's not the lightest wheel on the market... but it’s definitely not a heavy wheel either. They weigh about 31-35 lbs. depending on the offset and style. Not bad for a cast wheel. If we were to make these wheels light weight they would have had to be made in one piece forged and the retail price would double.

For people looking for light wheels we offer our Vossen Forged line.


Anyone else that would like a sample wheel shipped to them just PM the following info and we will have a wheel on the way to you.


First Name:
Last Name:
Address:
City:
State:
Zip:
Cell Phone:
Home or Work Phone:
E-mail:

And select ONE wheel for us to ship you from this list:

VVS-082 - Silver Machined
VVS-082 - Black Machined

VVS-083 - Silver Machined
VVS-083 - Black Machined w/ Black Lip

VVS-084 - Silver Machined
VVS-084 - Black Machined


FYI - I've received several PM's asking how much shipping will cost. There are NO shipping charges both ways. This whole process will not cost you a penny.

Ah see-- 30lbs is 1/3 of my total weight, so they were heavy to me

heheh but to a normal person, 30lbs is really not that heavy afterall

I also got my sample wheel also. It came very fast actually. So fast, no one was home to accept the package last Friday. So I arranged to have it delivered on Tuesday.

I got the VVS-084. It's a beautiful wheel. It's not as heavy as I thought it would be. The quality is indeed amazing. I'm going to take some photos tonight then box it back up. What I did notice was, I believe where the valve stem is, the inner barrel has been milled down perfectly to fit TPMS. Or is it just my imagination?

Overall, beautiful construction.

I'm glad you liked the sample as well.

You are right....That cut-out behind the valve hole is for the TPMS.

OH danggg, from CA to VA!

It was a sample from Vossen. See the other thread for information on that-- It was actually quite the opposite of "lame"

No....if you read the thread correctly I said that she is sending me the wheel, as in SAMPLE wheel (thread topic). Why would I order the sample wheel and then 3 more? Dude, where is your head at? I gotta meet you one day and see what you are like...haha, after that last episode I don't think you are all there my man.
