I'm actually going to be getting a new set of Vossen CV3's via the warranty so I'm really happy about that. Unfortunately this set started showing the hairline cracks.

Vossens are overpriced, inferior quality wheels.

I'm not a vendor or anything but all wheel manufactures have there "cheap line". Known as cast rims. Cant expect much for a set of rims under $1200. If you want quality go for Forged rims and pay the $3000+
I was surprised to find Made In Taiwan on the back of my Avant garde wheels.

I think it can be done, but if 2/3 shops I asked (the third with questionable quality) say it can't be done, consider me turned off the idea until someone actually does it lol.

Our new CV3-R was redesigned and is much stronger than the CV3. We now reverse engineer all our wheels to TUV standards. In addition our Vossen Forged wheels are manufactured in our TUV verified facility in Miami.

Happy to hear Diego is taking care of you with a full warranty exchange for a new set.

One of our test cars is our Mercedes-Benz E63 S with a full Renntech Stage III build.

Yes. I pulled it from the dealer site but here it is parked. I'm 6'4 and one thing that I really appreciate is stretching my left leg between the wheel well and the brake. Provides that extra comfort while driving.






My next step is looking through this forum for COMAND upgrades and getting bluetooth streaming audio to work. I did the hidden menu engineering mode but even with bluetooth audio enabled, I can't get it to recognize my iphone SE even though it recognizes it via bluetooth phone functionality.

love that tan interior mate! nice pick!

had the same problem with my coupe. had the command updated from the dealership, (some say it costs hundreds but i wasnt charged by my dealer at all), and bluetooth works seamlessly with phone and music. my sedan only works with phone and I use an old ipad for music. didnt bother to have it updated. goodluck mate!
