Default vossen vs vertini...

so i love the vossen VVS082 wheels http://www.vossenwheels.com/wheels/VVS082.aspx

and was set on them for my soon to be new LS460L (well new to me, trying to find a good deal on a smokey granite mica with creme interior 08 LWB with under 60K miles) and then i came across these:

http://www.b2autodesigns.com/product...oducts_id=3237

they look almost identical...i'm wondering what the differences are between them?

any help much appreciated.

They don't appear to have a 22" size like Vossen. Vossen has 5yr warranty also. The second option looks like the Lexani LSS-8. Lexani has one year warranty and are a little cheaper in price.

Is there a FAQ that shows what is covered under that warranty on your website?

how big of a difference is there between the 19" and 20" wheels in terms of ride quality?

the main reason i'm getting the LS460L is because of how amazingly quiet and smooth the ride is, and how comfortable the overall ride quality is.

i am def putting the vossens on, and debating about a wald lip kit, a ings+1 trunk spoiler, and a roof spoiler with LED brake light. but i am going back and forth on what size wheels to put on.

i know most people are going to say you have to put a 20" or 22" wheel on the LWB, and i agree the 22"s look by far the best, but its just not worth it to me to lose the ride quality.

i'm not trying to have the sexiest whip on the block, i just want a classy, clean, good looking ride that is as close to the factory quality ride as possible.

so i would really appreciate if some of you who have ridden on both size wheels can put aside your personal preferences in terms of looks, and give me some candid opinions on what to expect from the different size wheels.

thanks in advance for the help!

No FAQ but this should help. A CL member just commented in the Vendor forum how we warrantied some wheels.

Our Industry Leading Warranty

Our warranty is a statement of confidence in the quality of our wheels. Every Vossen wheel is put through the highest standard in testing and quality control. These high standards allow us to provide an industry leading 5 year workmanship warranty and a lifetime structural warranty, which proves we stand behind our product 100%.

Within the first 5 years of ownership, if any defects in material or workmanship arise under normal and reasonable use when properly installed and maintained, Vossen Wheels will replace or refinish your wheels free of charge. Our lifetime structural warranty will guarantee the replacement of your wheel in the event of a structural failure caused by a manufacturer defect. Please contact us for our warranty guidelines and a return authorization number to file a claim.

We take great pride in the warranty that we offer to our customers. The bottom line is that a warranty is only as good as the company that stands behind it.
