Vossen wheel help.....
Hope all is well forum friends.
I need some help. Here is the story. Went to take F to get aligned. Realized one of my wheels is cracked (hairline) where spoke meets the wheel. I reached out to Vossen and they are replacing all 4 wheels as they dont make the CV3 anymore but now the CV3r which is exact same wheel. I currently have silver on the SFP (love it but brake dust is crucial) so I will be going to the graphite CV3r.
Anyways here is my issue. My front wheel was 20x9 +38 but they dont make that offset anymore. So I have 2 choices. go with 20x9 +32 which will be 6mm more aggressive or go with a 20x8.5 +38 which I think will look terrible. I have added some pictures to help. When I get home I will add a close up of how it looks now.
Question is will the 6mm be to much and stick out???
more pics to come. I know these suck.

I had the exact same setup/sizes, the +32 offset up front will be fine. I did rub just slightly over dips/bumps on the highway with 245/30/20 Nitto NT555's, but that may have been due to my front spring rates being too soft.

LOL I completely agree with everybody on getting rid of the wheels when Vossen sends you the replacements....
These wheels combined w the tires were CRAZY heavy, felt like I lost 15whp when I had them on.

Thanks for this post. I tried looking up vossen cv3 graphite on SFP and couldn't find any really good pics. This really helped out my decision. Pics to come. I will be going with a smaller tire to help rubbing.

they are heavy at 27 lbs a piece. I also dont track or race the car so fashion is more for me.

I will also be selling my vossens. They are quite heavy, and quality in the cv3 is a widespread problem. Got the replacement cv3r gloss graphite, they seem to built a hair more sturdy where the spoke meets the barrel, hard separating from them though Love the look... mines +38 front +45 in the rear, sounds like they discontinued them...

Well damn. Now im worried.
Cant beat a free set of wheels. This guy had the same issue and def has the new ones. I will keep a look out and check them daily. If I have another issue I will replace on vossen cost and sell wheels on craigslist.
Love the look and not a fan of much else on the ISF. But im not always fashion over function especially when there is a lot ridding on your wheels.
