Default Wheel opinions

I will be purchasing Vossen CV1's in a week or two. I would like to ask for a couple of opinions. First off, 19's or 20's? and what color wheel would look best with an obsidian IS?

most will say 19's fit best. I have 20's but am slammed. I think if the car isn't slammed it looks jacked up in the air. So I say depends on your drop. I would say a charcoal color if they have. I'm not familiar with Vossen's wheels colors. Or silver is nice.

Hey thanks for selecting Vossen! I have attached a CL members pic of the 19s and our pic of the 20s to help from a similar angle.



Don't forget to inquire about the Limited edition graphite finish, I haven't seen pics of it on an IS. Its in 20" only

I only have a mild drop on eibachs, I was thinking 20 may look to raised on springs.
