Looks like these!!!



Yup same rims! Well kinda, due to a cracked rim and needing three new tires ASAP I was forced to spend what I was saving for rims on ISF reps with 4 brand new tires... Price was unbeatable, literally I tried. As far as the color goes I've read somewhere, but can't find any pictures that this is the finish that the JDM ISF wheels come in. They turned out great, especially with the somewhat aggressive offsets, just needs moar low!!!!

I might drop it a fraction more but i think its the plastic inner guard liner thats rubbing heaps, so ill have to sort that out or just let it wear through.

I love the SSRs but there are a HEAP of them floating around the car scene here in Brisbane so i thought the S1Rs would look just as good without being too common.

That looks great. I've got to play with my camera and figure out how to do some different effects. I had a buddy tell me that using instagram gives you lots of options on pics, but haven't tried it yet.

only people see the CV3 in the pics and never see them up close or in person, therefore they can't really focus on the different and detail of the Concavo CW-5, I did ordered the Vossen CV3 while back when it first pop up in the forum, and I said WOW, they look nice on someone car's, so therefore, I ordered one, when they are arrived (CV3) i open the box, oh man it wasn't impress me, the spokes look plan, no detail on them, just plan 5 spokes, and the paint job on that wheels look flake off like not smooth paint or someting? so therefore I return them, sorry Vossen CV3 fan's, I am here not to said negative to the other company, just try to tell the different between the two wheel's design, and one biggest thing to me is the CW-5 concave is deeper even front or back

They might confuse them for TSW Rivage's instead of Vossens. After all TSW had this design out before the CV3's came about.

Damn the Concavo actually look just like those TSWs. Your right about a lot of wheels looking similar. A concave 5 spoke wheel can only look so many different ways.

I still own a set of CV3s so I can say that the Concavos are a bit deeper in the rear and are actually concave in the front. There is more detail to the CW-5 vs the CV3 but they are also similar wheels. Both sets look good IMO but it all comes down to personal preference

I like how the Concavo is more concave in the front. But I wish both companies offered more width and offset selections. Like a 9.5 or 10"

Well I know Concavo does offer more aggressive offsets. I think they have a +24, Im not 100% sure. And I know Vossen has a +32

Oh thats good to know. When I had CV3 they were +32 but I added a 5mm spacer and still had room. I think +25 would be perfect.
