What's the deal with Vossen?

So I have been looking around for some good rims to put on my ride. Every quote I have been getting for vossen cv1 is anywhere from $2900-3000$ with tires. Does this sound right? For 500$-600$ more I can get work wheels or volks with tires, custom made with my own specified offsets and forged. Am I being scammed or do these cast alloy wheels really go for that much?

They should be around 1800-1900 w/o tires, at least in my area. So when you say 2900 -3000 the tires you get can make a huge difference in price...

You are about to get a bunch of post.... But so far from what I have researched. They are very reliable and a high quality wheel. They have super great customer service from what I have read. I was able to go out with the Vossen crew when they were in town for a show. Super cool guys.

They are one of my top choices when if get new wheels.

Also yes, that seems about right for pricing.

If that's the case I'll just spend the extra dough and get work wheels.

dishing out an extra $500 would get you Work, Volks, etc (forged and wheels only)... tires would then run you to about $4,500-$5000 depending on tires for complete wheels and tires package... FYI

so that price package on the Vossens are correct...

Save up and get the forged wheels. Lighter and stronger, it's a win, win combo!
Good luck with the decision making!!

not worth it, just save up a bit more and get lighter wheels which give you more options on wheel width and custom offset
