Vossen CV3 knock offs, they look similar to the CV3s which are a nice looking wheel IMO. Hard to tell what quality they would be and the tires are probably about as cheap as you could find. Many wheels are overpriced but the common popular wheels on this site do tend to have good quality control.
At the minimum I'd see if they would sell just the wheels so you could put some decent tires on them. Wheels tend to be one of those "buyer-beware" items, if the price seems too good to be true there probably is a reason

Yea, I was just thinking the same thing. If it too cheap it might just be too good to be true. But the rims does look good and the price is not bad. Was just checking out if anyone here had them on there car. Thanks for the info

I think numonik on the website has str rims on his coupe. I thought about these as well. 899 for an entire set. Does anyone know if 20x10.5 et35 will need modifications to fit in the back?

Hey tran2000, so I been looking at these for awhile now. I went to a rim store the other day just to compare the real cv3 to the srt 607 and here what i found out. From what the person told me they are pretty much the same, I don't know if the offset on them are the same but i did notice the SRT 607 is more aggressive looking then the cv3 in person. I also took both the rims in 20's and held them to see if there was a major weight difference and did not notice any differences in weight but i did wish i had a scale just to see what they both really weight out. I do believe the cv3 is a bit lighter then the srt from what i hear n read up on but for that price you really cant beat it.

This is the one that I'm looking to buy. I asked the seller and he said these are new specs. I know vossen has the 20x10.5 +45 that doesn't have issues with rear rubbing but do not know if 10mm will make a difference. Does anyone know if running with a 265/30/20 on a 10.5 rear will be fine?

Coupe or sedan?
A sedan will have the rim poking out beyond the fenderwells a bit, especially if you're not lowered. A coupe will probably need 10mm spacers for a flusher fit in back.
265/30/20 is a strange fit diameter wise, a 255/35 or 275/30 is better, so if rubbing is an issue the 255 w/ a stretch would be better. Although stretched tires isn't something I recommend.

I have a coupe, I have eibach pro kit springs that need to be installed and don't want to have to mod the rear fenders to make the wheels fit. Just want to know if they will rub the rear bumper bracket or if I will have to pull my fenders out.

If you have a coupe you'll be OK, wheels will be sunken into the fenders a bit but easily remedied w/ a spacer, no fender work will be req'd.

Question blnewt, I'm pretty much going with the same set up. What kinda of spacer would we need to make that look good. thanks

You also have a coupe? If so it's best to get the wheels/tires then see how much you want to go outward, probably would be in teh 10-15mm range, but you might like it just the way it sits, only caveat is you might need a spacer to clear the lower suspension arm since you'll be running a bit more conservative offset for a coupe. I wouldn't attempt a 10.5 +35 on a sedan.

Hey Bro, how bout the Avant Garde M550's? I'm pretty sure, one of our vendors will be able to beat the pricing of the price of the wheels you listed...shipped.

Hey rare37s, i also have the bbk on my car and will also be drop on eibachs pro kit, you should not have any problems. Me and my buddy both just order a set for $800 in 20''. I just tho that was a great deal. The rims will be here in about 2 weeks. I will be posting pics for anyone who is looking into these. When i try searching the web for these rims no one had this set up on there G or any info base upon it. I guess i will be the test dummy
