I know Vossen is releasing their forged line but am not biased towards any wheel company. I am just just a car nut who enjoys modding cars..

Here are a few daytime pics. Am off to the gym now..Enjoy

I love the look, you should gone a little deeper concave in the rear for a more "aggressive" look, but nonetheless the look amazing in these specs too!

^^^ You don't have a choice on the degree of "concavity" when buying a wheel.

I know that, I just didn't word it right, but I assume the wider you go the deep the rims looks right???

Great choice in rim style always loved that look. Big tires to fit that car

Congrats

This is 100% correct. The manufacturer has to consider balancing the "concaveness" with the offset and other factors to come up with a very strong wheel.

Thanks! Your wheels had a "little" influence in my decision to go with this style and color or rims.

I'm sorry but I had to comment again after the daytime pics. Those are freaking gorgeous, how long did it take for the wheels to arrive as I understand they make them custom for each client?

Damnit now I want a set, but now $4k for wheels+$1K for tires+$2,500 for KW's. AHHH I don't have that kind of cash to throw around. Anyone want to make a donation to my ISF foundation?

It took a long 6 weeks but it was worth the wait. Thanks again for the compliments.

Regarding the pricing, you can negotiate with GOTOracing for an under 4K cost. You are correct that all in all they are spendy, that is why I stopped myself from moving to Michelin PSS.

Sad to see the CV5's gone, but those new wheels do look slick! And like CalitriSC said, we've got the new forged line debuting at SEMA this October
