Well I am wanting to get the Vossen CV7, I was loving the CV3, but I am now more in love with the CV7.

Anyways I saw on the site the Silver finished looked very nice, But I have a feeling I might not be able to pull it off on my Red G37 with Carbon Fiber Hood & Trunk.

Thinking of 20x10.5 All Around

I have a feeling most of you guys are gonna tell me to get the black/gunmetal color, or undo hood and trunk

Here I did a Quick Chop of CV7's on there







Here are how my ride looks right now:

Graphite anyone?

 

I didn't think the second picture was chopped at first. I was thinking wow that looks sick. I say go for it.

 

I would say go full polish, I had graphite wheels on mine before to go with the dark headlights, taillights, grill, stillen splitter etc, and it all just got to drab and monotone for me. I switched to the brushed aluminum wheels I have now and left all of the other black stuff, and the contrast brings the car to life.

 

Polish FTW. Graphite will go against your color.

Nice wheel choice. Planning on getting the same.

 

Id say do it, and put your stock grill back on.

 

Thank you guys for agreeing, I feel it makes the color pop out more too, OEM are silver so they are a neutral color.

So I than I will leave my headlights cleared and not paint them black and i will leave my tail lights alone too, just vinyl or paint the top black.

People tell me go with black because thats the contrast of colors on my car, but I am tired of dull black

Where's the best place to get deals on CV7? Diego is not responding.

Also I am gonna change the grill since its chrome n looks off but I would rather powdercoat top and bottom than remove and install just the black stillen and leave lower portion OEM, what do u guys think? I like all the grill makes the car very in noticeable
Because there are no badges and its mesh but still trying to get opinions.

 

So I have been asking around, it seems its hard to get 20x10.5 in front without modification to the fender

I was told I have stretch 245 in front tire, roll fenders, push up inner fender wall, upgrade your suspension, and run a negative camber, any opinions, does all that have to be done, I want that deep concave look in front and back

Also any recommendations on best place to order these? everyone has different pricing and some charging tax because I am in California, others adding up shipping and most saying that Silver is more than Graphite, and one guy telling me both are same price!

 

The photo shop looks like 24's with no tires. Not gunna look like that at all. To fit 10.5 all around run 265/30 tires. No fender mods to front, need to shave bumper bracket in back.

 

Yes its a bad chop, cuz its bigger than the 21s on there already, i will try it again.

Does it make the handling heavier with wider rims/tires in front?

Thank you for your advice!

 

Can you post a pic of them in Matte graphite or chop them in that color?

 

Like Pcasey said no fender mods required with 265/30 tires and +25 offset all around. The handling is different yes, but then again your not taking turns at 70mph so you'l be fine. But there is a difference, a lot of us have had that set up on here. When I went back to staggered I could definetly feel the car get more responsive in turns and all around.

 

You have a Red G or you asking for me? I will photoshop it when I get home in a few

The whole reason I am doing this is to go away from the harsh ride on 21s, I wanna smooth out and luxurize the ride as much as possible. So I will do 9.5 in front.

 

Graphite anyone?

 

Heres a Current picture of my G37 that I photoshopped, I painted the roof black and Tried both rims.. Below are pictures of a Stock Red G with Silver CV7's. Let me know your guys opinions, I like how the person with the other Red G did 10.5 in front, but I dont want it to make turns and ride harsher and roll my fenders and etc..
