Transformation Complete. Like a whole new Type-S

Changed my car around quite a bit within the last month. Got Vossen CV3's about a month ago. Finally got around to putting on the ASPEC Kit. Got OEM Window Visors. So happy with the final product.

Here is how it looked before:



And now:

Looks good, however.. vossens (especially CV3) have become played out. In big shows they are called "Me too" wheels. The joke being this

Car guy 1 says " I got a sick drop with Vossens"
Car guy 2 says "You got vossens?! ME TOO"

Out in my area with the car show scene, don't see many TL's or even Vossens. So going with this I was extremely happy with the outcome.

Looks sick man. I love cv3's but i agree with 04WDP that they're getting played out. Many cars have that look now. What are the specs? I was actually thinking of getting cv3's too but I'm leaning towards the cv7's now.

Nice, staggered! Cv7's only come in 20's smallest. I still love the cv3's tho, still one of my favorite rims. If only one day I can get vossens or better!

No matter how many have Vossens, they still look good.

Oy vay. Like 5% of this place is sporting non replica wheels.

Looking good OP. CV3 was never a favorite of mine but looking better than the old set up!

Vossen's make the hottest rims out right now, they look better than stock rims, I'm planning on getting some 19's CV3 in matt black or matt graphite, to go with my 08 ASM TL.

haha and there it is

I don't know, I think your old wheels look better than the new ones. I don't like the thin spoke design if you don't have some brakes behind them to fill out the emptiness. And stock brakes just don't cut it I think

Everyone has them because Vossen is putting out really nice, affordable wheels... Unless you get a 3 piece, of course.

Looks good OP, but I think I like the old wheels better. I'm a sucker for lip...

Offset>fakelips

And I did a quick search and found "Vossens suck" threads on M3Post(bmw), G35Driver, My8thGen(honda), AND MBWorld(mercedes).

I'll stick to what I have been saying. You can't fake the funk.
