IS-F with the new Vossen option!
#31
I just got off the phone with Vossen...I'm pretty disappointed by what I heard. I was told:
These wheels don't work on the ISF. I don't even know why they posted them online. They will rub in the rear and there is not enough pad in the rear to do a less aggresive offset. I would not recommend them for the ISF...
Soooooooo, there you go, straight from Vossen...

^^^ You're right Peter, by the angle of those spokes in the rear wheel you can see that there is no padding left for changing the offset, maybe that's why BBS did it the way it is in our OEM wheels. More pad means an angle closer to 90 degrees, basically OEM looking.
Splat, did Vossen use spacers for the photoshoot?

Sounds like you talked to someone who was misinformed. And great thats your opinion. I didnt purchase them, i let them use my car for the fit and finish they were looking for and also a photoshoot. I personally love the look and think they look great. To each there own (you could be a hella flush and i wont complain).

Splat, first of all, no need to get your feelings hurt, it's not personal. As a matter of fact, I was calling Vossen to purchase these wheels on the premise that the offset could be taken in. I was taken aback when the person that answered the phones at Vossen told me these things. As for the offset, wheels NEVER look good sticking out past the body of the car and when the manufacturer specifically tells you "they are not made for the ISF and don't fit right", that raises concerns. If they would come online and address these issues, that would solve a lot of questions that people (including myself) now have.
Now relax, don't get too stressed about the fact that Vossen said what they said...don't get stressed about the fact that the rear wheels stick out past the fenders...and let's see if they respond here. I would love for the person who answered the phone to come online and respond.

Carlosg,
wasnt really butt hurt more like sounds like two sub-contractors arent talking on the same page to people. Jav is the man at Vossen and all i can go buy is what he told me. I only let them use the car for the shoot, but i can say that the rims fit on the car as is no issues.
