Vossen VVSCV3 vs Giovanna Mecca?


CV3
vs


Giovanna Mecca.

Vossen pros

Better name
Great look
Exactly the colors I want

Mecca Pros

Cheaper by about $500 for the whole set
Close to the look I want




If anyone could help me with why I should choose either one that'd be great?
I want Vossens but are they worth the extra $500?

Before the Vossen groupies come to chime in, it's best to do your research and set your budget. If you are looking for a five spoke wheel, there are other companies who make similar designs, I.e., forgestar, stance wheels, and many more. Just know that this forum is infested with Vossen leachers, so I can guarantee you will get a mass of their people coming in to vouch for them. At the end of the day, just set your budget and choose the style you like best... ultimately you are going to be looking at the wheels every day, so make your choice.

Personally, I don't see the difference between those 2 wheels other than the price and center cap.

Cool to see someone go with something other than the normal work, Volk, vossen, stance names.

GL with your decision, 19s & 20s available. Contact one of our dealers for a quote.

Are you looking for something conservative? There are a few offset choices, you can also go very aggressive. Let me know if you have any specific questions, I'm here to assist.

The following are available:

19x8.5/19x10.0
Offsets: 32/38

20x9.0 +20 +32
20x10.5 +15 +25 +45

We carry everything from an aggressive stanced out look, to a conservative daily driver.

Also CV3s are our lightest wheels at only 1/2 a pound heavier than stock sport 19s at Front 27 pounds and rear 28 pounds for our 20 inch cv3s.

The Giovanna's have a polished lip, and the spokes connect to the step lip that is recessed about an inch or two, which gives the Giovanna's a deepdish-look.

No offense to the Vossen's (as I think the CV3s are gorgeous), but I like the extra touches of the Giovanna's I mentioned above.

both are nice wheels, Vossens have confirmed fitments and usually in stock while the Meccas might be harder to get

Well, you can go on most wheel sites & it will tell you if it fits your car or not.
I think I might go with the Mecca's because 1. Cheaper 2. They look almost exactly the same.

I could afford to get the Vossen's but i truely don't see a reason I should spend the extra $500

The chrome trim compliments the trim around my windows as well so i'll give them a shot.

I'm sure I can ask a specialist before ordering them, if the brakes don't fit than I just get Vossens. And that will be my reason to spend the extra $500
