Vossen CV3 replicas...I got them. Shame on me I know :) (pics)

I will probably catch some heat for this...but couldn't pass up on the savings.

Been wanting to pick up the CV3's from the time I saw them, but like many of my "wants", my good ol' bank account strongly disagreed with me.

Came across these Ikon wheels and could not pass up on them.

19x8.5 (35 offset)

other than the price being cheaper, what did you notice was different than the original?

is it made well? is it heavier? what's the trade-off other than not being authentic?

Vossens are cast...I doubt these are heavier...if they are it won't be by much.

Probably only difference is price.

Not bad. I wish they were more concave especially for this style rim.

To answer some of the questions.

These are made by IKON. Not sure of the model name (sorry).

I can't speak on weight comparison as I have no idea how heavy the Vossen's are. I can say this, I really can't feel any difference from a stop and go, acceleration "feels" the same. I use to roll around on a set of 20" wheels, those I definitely felt the difference. But who knows without actually getting them on a scale.

In regards to how concave they are, I'll go grab a couple of angled pics to give you guys a better idea. They look the same as Vossens 19x8.5.

couple more pics coming up!

The only spot where the Ikon logo/brand is indicated is on the wheel caps.

Here are a few more pics that show how concave they are.





Oh as far as cleaning them...with 5 smooth spokes and a whole lot of room to fit your hand in to clean the inner wheel, cleaning is a breeze

I got them locally in Toronto. Actually in Scarborough (suburb of Toronto). They're called Tire & Rim Shop. http://www.tirerimshop.com.

Not sure if they do shipping. I gotta say though anybody in the Toronto and surrounding area, these guys were great to deal with. Small place spot, but amazing service as far as I'm concerned.

I've tried like crazy finding the wheels online with no luck. I did find this http://www.ruffinowheels.com/wheels.php

They also make the same style, with a few different other finishes. But from the site it looks like they only do 20 inch.

I have the vossen cv3 and these look just like them. For them being 19x8.5 they look right to me. I have 10 in the rear so you can imagine how much more concave they're

You would have probably gotten heat if you had stated vossens to be a "high end" and or "prestigious" brand

Wheels look great

[QUOTE=djspot;14562957]what does "vossen good" mean?

Not being an ass, but they are identical.

I wasnt saying they look like bad reps I was more saying that when I think of vossen I think of a nice really concave style wheel. these just look weak to me because of the high offset and the wheel gap I guess. Like I said tho they look good I think it would look a ton better if you were lower though and if you had gotten a more aggressive offset in the rear at least
