Plus, they're incredibly light, and with lightweight cast rims, you run a risk of cracking. So just drive smart.

Still waiting for Winter to end. It's looking like I'll be putting them on the car this weekend. In the meantime, here they are on my dining room table, LOL.

Anyone know any reputable wheel dealers in the New England/Northeast area? Would much rather see the wheels in person before investing.

Might also look at Niche wheels, they have some nice sets for good prices~Keep in mind that bolt pattern & offset range will determine what wheels you can or can't get.

Niche has some interesting stuff, for sure.

Wish I could explain why I like this matte bronze finish so much. It's weird, but so damn pretty at the same time.

Ah-h-h, I also like it when websites make proper use of PNG file formats. This graphic is very well done.

Here are some pics of my current setup. Go Volk or go home It is forged so that means they are extremely light and super strong. This particular model is CE28N in magnesium blue color (very rare)

As far as there youtube marketing goes, they are top dog in that regard yeah? there vids are sick.
Their videos are sick and I still watch them on youtube and follow them on instagram to this day In fact, I almost went with the CV7s six months ago because of their videos.

Then I went to check them out at Wheels Warehouse here in CA and was not as impressed as I thought I would be However, I was still considering them because I did not want to spend a small fortune on wheels and tires.

However, friends and family convinced me to dish out more money and go with a higher quality JDM multi-piece wheel or forged wheel.

In the end, I went with SSR wheels. The wheels not only cost more, but also took 8 weeks to receive. Believe me, the price and wait were well worth it!
My suggestion, since you are willing to pay a lot more for quality, is to check out Volk Racing, Work Wheels and SSR like some of the others have suggested in this thread. Work and SSR do have some wheels with a concave face along with a step lip if you are after the concave look!

Nice choice...I myself had them in mind!

Not sure if I would go with 19's or 20's...hmmm.
I still like the CV7's, but they only come in 20's.

(not mine)

of course not! lets not be silly! if people would spend their hard earned money on what i say then most of the Gs here would look almost the same

OP wanted to know about wheels so i just stated my opinion like i know there are others on this forum that share my opinion as well.

i didnt say not to buy vossen wheels i just said what i think about vossens but that didnt stop people from buying them. like i said just my opinion take it or leave it. your car, your money

I would just add Eastside motoring in Waltham, They have tons of wheels and did a handful of the Celtics cars( Ray Allen's) car was SICK.
An take a look at Rennens I have the C10's bought from here I can tell you I have had complaints at least twice a week I got an email at work from a co worker "Is that G37X yours? If it is, next to the blue Bently coupe, you have one of the sweetest rides in this lot"

That might be the voice you heard in your head, but it's not what you actually wrote. Meh. We all do it from time to time. I've mocked people for dropping their car, and am constantly reminded that my values aren't the same as every one else.

So... teaching moment for you. Everyone has been a d1ck on the forum before. It happens.

Wait, except blnewt. That guy is a freaking saint.
