Vossen Wheels

JaxZ · 07-17-2010, 04:38 PM

I'm try to decide between these two wheels for my Z.

VVSCV1 staggered Wheels Rims – 5x120, 5x114.3, 5x4.5, 5x130, 20?, 22?, 20x9, 20x10.5, 22x9, 22x10.5
VVS086 VVS-086 staggered Wheels Rims – 5x120, 5x114.3, 5x4.5, 5x130, 20?, 22?, 20x9, 20x10.5, 22x9, 22x10.5

Any problem with fitments for the 20in wheels. These would replace stock 18in wheels (non-sport package) - plan on upgrading brakes shortly after replacing wheels to the OEM Sports Brakes. Will the wheel replacement be a simple swap; any issues I should be aware of. The whole offset and tire size is very confusing to me but one site I have visited recommends the following tire sizes for the vvscv1:

Front: 245/35/20
Rear: 275/30/20

Sound good. Any problem moving my TPMS off the stock wheels to these wheels. Any advice or suggestions would be welcome

I have the cv1 wheels. They look good on the car. The offsets are +10 and +15. I didn't mounthe tpms with these wheels though .

RCZ · 07-18-2010, 03:38 PM

Im gonna go with the 086's

JaxZ · 07-18-2010, 07:11 PM

I think the Matte Black on both wheels looks particularly awesome. CButler how did end up dealing with the tpms warning light? Just ignore?

Yeah I just ignore the light.

i think the 86s could work better on the Z and the scv1 more so on a g

I like the second one better!

TreyUT · 07-18-2010, 11:47 PM

086s are HOTT

w0ady · 07-19-2010, 09:22 PM

It was a hard decision; finally decided on the VVS-CV1s in Machined Black. Will post photos when installed:

20x9 Vossen VVS-CV1 Black/Machined 5x114.3 +38mm offset
20x10.5 Vossen VVS-CV1 Black/Machined 5x114.3 +25mm offset
255/35/20 Yokohama S. Drive
285/30/20 Yokohama S. Drive

Nubz · 08-18-2010, 01:37 AM

I think I've decided to go with the VVS-084's in machined black.

Why not go with lower offsets?

JaxZ · 08-18-2010, 11:02 AM

Honestly, Don't completely understand Offsets; so let the guys at elementwheels select the offset they thought would be best; hopefully will look nice.

Nice Z, mine is platinum graphite so will look similar but with black machined rims.

Sorry for the pics, very humid right now in Florida so camera fogs up as soon as you walk outside.

So far so good, I am happy with the look. I'm not a fan of all black wheels; but these have the right amount of black to look awesome, looks great against the tinted windows and PG of the Z.

Having issues with the centercaps; one of the centercaps was damaged during shipment; the replacement sent was not the correct centercap for the wheel. Then one of the correct centercaps failed on the way home from the install; it appears the glue on one of the centercaps failed (see pic).

I called Vossen and they are sending me 4 new centercaps so I will have a couple of extra - hopefully just unlucky and the centercaps will last. The guy @ Vossen said they have not had an issue with the caps; I hope he is right cause the design seems a bit flimsy.

Overall very happy, works well with the Touring Model.
