So I'm debating either Vossens CV3, or Velgens vm5 in matte charcoal.

Still not sure about size, either 19's or 20's.

Which look the best?

Velgen in 19", however since both are a cast design, they seem overpriced. I'd look at Forgestar's and a few other ones before these.

Yeah if I go vossen I'd probably go with the forgestar cf5, which are lighter and look similar.
They're both about the same price, $2500 with nitto 555 tires.

I actually like the Velgands more. Are they 19's? I like the look of 19's more with more sidewall personally. The pic you posted on the gt500 looks sick.

I love the vossens design but have seen some horror stories with them they seem to have more of a concave look then the cf5's IMO

Not a fan of the Forgestars.

Saw the vossens on a local car here recently. Looked FANtASTIC. I'd go that route

In a different color they both would look nice. Why get wheels the same color as brake dust?

And Forgestars aren't overpriced? Cast wheels as well, made in China.

OP...just call Forgestar and talk to any of the people minding the line. Question them on their product. Listen to their responses (or lack of) and the overall vibe you get. It might change your mind. It sure did mine.
