Wheels look good, I think I still prefer the Stance though, the lip sets them apart. They have both the concave look you want and a nice lip (due to the spoke design).

Why did you decide to go with the Vossens? Especially with such a subtle change.

Overall, very nice SC you have there.

Thanks, I can't wait to take new pictures with the Vossens! And from what the shop said, the car puts down like 600-700hp, which is insane, haha.

I like both wheels a lot, the Stance wheels popped with the chrome lip, but even after only 2 days on the Vossens, the ride is much better, which could be from a better shop balancing them, or the Stance wheels were not balanced properly. My steering wheel would vibrate like crazy past 70mph, got the car up to 85-90mph coming home and smooth as silk.

Lol, I know I know, a lot of people have said that, they are very similar... and thanks!

Me too, obviously and not sure yet. I sold my OEM 16's, so these are the closest thing I have to spares at the moment, probably going to keep them for a little bit, unless I get a good offer for them

Im not talking about "slamming" it or making it dumped so don't freak out about functionality or whatnot but your car would look so much better a tad lower. IMHO the 19's look too big with that amount of gap
We'll see, I like having an equal drop front and rear, the car's factory rake does that. The fenders would need to be rolled to go any lower, as I could just fit my finger in the gap. I would like to have the rear a little lower, but I'm not sure how it wold look if I only dropped the rear. Plus, the current camber I have isn't ruining the tires or wearing them too unevenly, so we'll see

Haha, everyone seems to think so

Hahaha, me too! The 10" rears look so much bigger and deeper than the 9.5"s I had, I love it!

I know, that lip was the defining feature and popped, I wish the Vossen's had a polished face, like the new CV7/CV5/CV4's do. And I went with these because they were the wheel I originally wanted, and everyone would say "nice vossens" and I would have to tell them they were reps. Plus, I'm helping out Mike and the company with some part time marketing work, so it would be a conflict of interest to rep the company with replica wheels, haha.

Ahh, I will be the first to say that I am no wheel expert, so on that I had no idea the Stance were reps of Vossen.

Yeah, they hopped on the concave bandwagon after the CV3's were released. Nothing wrong with that, but they were styled very similarly as you can see, haha.

Just curious but which wheel was lighter? I'm glad you got the Vossen, I have never liked the Stance replica lol.

Vossens definitely feel lighter. Not sure what the exact weight difference is, but after moving the wheels and boxes around, I noticed the Stance wheels felt heavier. And I am too, I still like the SC5's but I love the design of the CV3's so much, and I got tired of correcting people who thought they were Vossen wheels... lol

They do indeed look great, but the others look better in my opinion. They both look great, but something about the originals look better. NO offense to anyone on here who has them.. Your car is beautiful and done right from head to toe!!!
