cant decide on vossen options

So I've been looking for a nice set of wheels for a few weeks and I have found 2 options that seem like great deals. The question is wether or not these are good deals:
First off, I have a 2010 moonlight g sedan rwd...not lowered.

Option 1: vossen 20x9 +32 all, cv5 graphite machined, 255/35/20 on all 4. $1500. 80% tread.

Option 2: vossen 20x9, 20x10.5 cv1 silver, 245/35/20, 275/30/20. $1750. 1,000 miles on tires. Don't know offset, but came off maxima I believe.

Vossen makes 4 or 5 really appealing looking wheel designs, and they certainly have enough media content to inspire people to purchase Vossen. They're website gallery just goes on and on. It's amazing.

I also have a Moonlight White Sedan, and was longing for the CV3 for the longest time. However, right now my wish list is for their new directional CVT rim, but in the upcoming 19" size. You probably already know that these 20" rims you're intending to buy are going to be heavy. Really heavy. And they will look odd without lowering the car a little bit.

You're asking if those prices are good, and with tires I'd say so. However, just because they have tires with tread doesn't mean they're good tires. A quality three season performance tire isn't inexpensive.

Now if you're looking for opinions between those two (CV5 Graphite and the CV1 Silver)...



...then I vote for the CV1, even though I'm not fond of that chrome lip. Against the Moonlight White, I think the silver CV1 would look really good. Plus, the CV1 would be a heck of a lot easier to clean and wax.

IDK if you have the BBK on your Sedan, but if you don't then avoid the CV5 because you're going to slowly lose your mind staring at those little brakes. The 5-spoke CV5 will showcase the brake set-up.

They have a Moonlight White Sedan with Silver CV1 on the car in their gallery: Infiniti G37 on VVSCV1 Wheels

...unfortunately the G was lowered to the point of ridiculousness, and it's hard to assess the rim while setup like a clown car.

Here, this white 7-Series is a better example. Hmm, still not digging that chrome-like lip. Anyway:

I say be unique with your wheels. While I have nothing against vossen wheels, every G has them these days... Boring.

Online, perhaps. But not in the real world.

I like them cv1's on that moonlight sedan. But yeah I could never run that low. I will keep my eye on both these deals and see if they drop more. If not I've found a ton of more options of wheel designs that I love for decent prices.

If you like the CV5, but prefer the silver finish... there's the Enkie RSF5.

Similar design (closely split 5-spoke), but with a standard lip. You can get it in 17" and 18"... but AFAIK only if you have the non-Sport brakes. That BBK really narrows your options for 18" rims.

I always thought the AG M368s were a great looking wheel
M368 - Avant Garde Wheels
Charles at B2Autodesigns has them for a nice price.

Why are you asking is to choose a wheel for you? Go through the vossen wheel thread..see what you like the most...than pull the trigger. If you still can't choose flip a coin. And I agree with Rochester. Sure everyone online has em...I pretty much never see modded g37 around here let alone on vossen wheels.

But anyways are you planning on lowering the car in the future? Because that's pretty important in choosing the right offsets.

Eibachs & H Techs are similar, the S Techs are pretty slammed by comparison.
