Problem is... Vossens are cast, but they are not cheap.

Even worse. You're paying a lot of money for **** wheels. Definitely go the route Calitri suggested, you won't get near what you paid for them but at least you'll get something.

Staying with Vossens for now. If I have another issue they will be gone. Dont really like any other style wheels on the F.

Yes you can give me **** about it.

Maybe its luck but I had less issues with the CV2's when I had them compared to bending and cracking of TrafficStars and Works.

I had defective Vossens back in the day and they replaced the set too. At least they stood behind their products when there was an issue.

the price is so inflated they can replace the wheels and still have massive margin, they have a top notch marketing dept.

Every company has margins. If they don't they fail. I run a recruiting company and our margins are high but not as high as others.

I wouldnt have gotten a new set if they hadn't discontinued the wheel. They would have just replaced the one.

In their defense I hope any company would replace wheels if you are dropping so much money on them.

SoI will be keeping the vossens and if something else is to happen I will then switch. Fingers crossed.

The more aggressive wheel fits great in the front and really turned out well. I loved the machined silver cause it made the car pop but the graphite is more practical due to break dust.

I've had my cv3's for years with no issues. I love the look, but wanted to sell them. I so far have had no luck so I guess I'll be keeping them too!

Like others have said, I need some lighter wheels.
