wheels are not bad. It will look good but maybe not on our 2IS..just my opinion. Critics are good. Maybe we should give comments about it, so that Vossen can make concave wheels that meets CL member's standard hehe that way we'll get sweet sets of concave wheels from Vossen that'll look sick on our 2IS.

Those really aren't the ones that were on DJ's; is it? DJ always has a pair of Vossens that are done just right. I'm waiting to see them in black with machined faces and a polished lip. Then we can see what these wheels are really about. I didn't like the 78's or 85's until I saw them in this combination. Thanks DJ

Default Vossen Photoshoot: CAVES...in the RAW **Free Bonus Pics**

Ok, so this is kind of a half-assed shoot compared to the rest but it still gets the point.

Remember, these are the sample models in the pics. The production models will be more concave in the front, not the flat wheel that you see. Also, in typical Vossen fashion, will come in brushed aluminum/black and all silver finishes, both with chrome lips.

VVS-CV1






















**BONUS** VVS-086

That looks spectacular. I might be done with big-lipped wheels.

They look decent but they def need a bigger lip, the staggared look really sets the IS
s off..

the concave wheels shown on dan's IS are just prototypes and are missing the chrome lips.

We are also remaking the front wheel.. so it will be slightly concaved.


few more pics...

Damn Dobin your car looks MINT with those wheels. I know you are the resident Vossen Harlot in FL, but DON'T change those.

I think I smell a VOSSEN Concave deal coming on!!

Maybe we'll get a set of these on a local 2IS and really get this thing moving.

Maybe its me but these things are pure sex in my book.

D. Jobin, the VVS-CV1's look wicked!

What are the wheel / tire / suspension specs?

Thanks

I am really digging the concaved look. It's exotic, sporty and classy.
