Looking at the Vossen CV3 in 20x9 and 20x10.5 for my car.

Not sure which one to go with for Kona Blue with White Stripes.

Any thoughts?

Here is a pic of each.

Graphite

My vote would be for option number 2. The black would help hide dirt and brake dust while the machined face would offer a nice pop. I know it is a personal preference kind of thing, but I have always been from the school of thought where rims should have some bling to them....

Those are nice looking rims. They look cool how the spoke is to the edge of the rim while there is a "lip" behind the spokes. Those are the first rims I have seen with the valve stem recessed that far back into the rim.

Hmm...I figured the graphite would be the one to pull the most votes. My thoughts was silver machined given white stripes....and I too thought well maybe matte black with machined face for the pop because black top and white stripes...and then I said oh I could do graphite too because I have graphite ones on there now.

So...I've justified them all. The issue is I've only seen the silver machined face on GT500's...on vossen's site. If I could see what the wheels would look like on the car that would help but, I'm not photoshop talented! LOL!

Well, currently having graphite, going with the same color or finish would be so much like investing $3k with a similar look being the end result.

That is a good point...just wanted to go to 20's...and was looking to also widen the rear for more to the ground with more power.

Personally I think I want the silver ones.....but, thought I'd get other opinions....I think most these days like wheel in something other than silver and chrome. I grew up with Chrome and silver so, I tend to go that was as opposed to the other wheels.

Okay...this decision is not getting any easier. LOL!

I love those stockers. Want those for winter wheels next year. I wouldn't change them out, but again it's a personal preference thing.

Maybe I'll wait and see how it looks after it's dropped and go from there. I could sure put the $3k to something else! Like say a KB???

Drop happens first week in July...so, not to far away. I'll go from there I guess. I just wish I could get wider wheels on the back...or 20's...I think 20's would look good. Maybe I'll just upgrade the tires from the F1 crap.
