Starfire Pearl IS F Sport on new 19" Vossen CV3
Ever wondered what a Starfire Pearl IS 350 F Sport looks like with the newest 19" Vossen CV3 wheels in Matte Graphite?

Now that SEMA is over, I can now post these pics up. It did take me a while to figure out what wheels I wanted to put on my car. I was looking for something simple and of a 5 spoke design. My previous wheels on my other cars have always been multi spoke or mesh type. For the longest time I loved the CV3's in matte graphite but felt the 20" was too large for what I wanted to do. My goal was to retain a clean and simple look and go with a conservative drop as this is my daily driver. I'm over those days of rubbing, cutting fenders, heating up fender liners and having a hard time driving my cars over a simple speed bump. Finally the word came out that Vossen would offer the CV3's in 19" fitments. I was pretty excited. I ended up purchasing my wheels through our vendor Vip Auto Salon. With the help of Mike at Vossen, he was able to expedite my order fast. I dropped my IS on F SPORT springs and utilized the Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires that came off my previous IS F. The wheel gap may not suit most of you all but it works perfect for my daily driving needs. Talk about right place at the right time, it was by chance that my car got a cameo appearance at this video shoot that was done in Downtown LA. It took most of the day but it was a lot of fun to do. Thanks to Mike@Vossen & Vip Autosalon for the great work.
