So apparently Lexus of Concord, CA is a direct dealer of Vossen Wheels. They are the only dealer that has every single Vossen wheel available for every lexus car. They had a new GS in the showroom with Vossen 20's

I want to say that dealer ship is Vossen's highest volume seller. Somebody over there is trying to convince Vossen to produce a 18inch version of their wheels. They have so many requests for the wheels but in a factory size or an 18inch option. Some clientele just really don't want to have 20" or larger wheels on their car.

Man with a set up like they have they must be a high volume retailer for Vossen. I dont know if there is real money in producing wheels in 18" size. Most of the stock wheels are 17-19" nowadays. People may want it but if the demand isnt there outside those few who actually want stock size aftermarket wheels then I cant see them making the investment......but you never know. Never say never

stock 20's or a nice 19 is probably where the money is at. infiniti 19's are popular as well as the gtr 20's and fx 50 21's. ill take some bima 20 or 21 for the ls

18s would definitely open it up to the tuner crowd

I saw that in there when I was servicing my car. The prices aren't the best working directly with Mike on here or other places will yeild a better bargain. But the selection was quite impressize and one could see in person how each wheel look and I must say they make fine wheels.

They told me they didn't have 22's however...Might have just been for the 084s I was looking at

Oh they also carry tsw's which I might pick up for winter setup in a 20". Staggered multi spokes for like 1800-1900 with tires and Tpms sensors, not a bad price

Guys lets keep this thread for Vossen owners and fans please. If you are fans of another brand or design and want to espouse them, please post elsewhere.

I've cleaned up this post from an argument that was carried over from another thread inappropriately. I'll ask cjitty and Brian to take it to PM.

I have had my CV1s for a month or so now and I can not believe the response I get from people when filling up at the gas station. I will get looks and comments all of the time. When I took my car in for service recently the techs and service drive people were all going on and on about how much they like the wheels and how so many Lexus owners put trashy and cheap looking wheels on their cars. Vossen has really nailed it with the concave designs. They look amazing!!! Thanks again Vossen for transforming my ride and your great customer service

That's awesome. The 1's with that color look amazing! I get the same treatment with my CV1s..folks have asked me if they are a stock upgrade lol..it was the look i was going for. Major upgrade but not so much in your face type of upgrade. On a recent emissions test, the whole shop was out there looking at it and showing mad love for my car...feels awesome driving an LS..but one with some nice wheels is just more gravy!! I can't wait to get my white on black LWB..#NeedABloodhoundThough
