I am stuck on deciding which wheels to get for my E550. I have narrowed it down to Vossen CV3 and Concavo CW-5 in 20 inch fitment. I want a simple 5 spoke wheel with a concave design that is easy to clean. I plan on applying opti coat pro to the wheels.

Anyone have experience with either or both of these wheels. I know they are both low pressure cast wheels and I can get either ones for a great price. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I like the Concavo. Obviously, very similar but I just keep leaning towards the Concavo.

I would go with Concavo.

never used concavo, but I liked the vossens, although I didn't ride them very long and cannot speak to long term durability.......BTW,
I have some CV1's(vossen 19") for 900 bux and some Mandrus(Manheim 18") for 500....


not trying to vulture your thread, just an FYI

Great prices on those wheels Hyperion but I feel even 19's are a bit too small on our bigger body cars.

I like the machined face of the Concavo and that you get some concave on the fronts as well. On the other hand I like how the Vossens mimic a lip on the wheel. I'm just concerned that the thinner spokes allow for easier bending of the wheel in the unfortunate event I hit a pothole.

Decided on the concavo wheels. 20x9 and 20x10.5

just not sure on the tire sizes. Is 285/30/20 for the rears too meaty? Im gonna drop the car an inch and want to prevent rubbing.

was thinking 235/35 front and 275/30 rears.

Concavo for me too. What offsets are you planning to run?

greekstyle

I was told 38 front and 45 for rears. Just not sure about tires now. What u plan to run?

greekstyle

I am stuck on tire sizes. I plan to lower about 3/4 inches and do not want to have problems with rubbing. Anyone know if 235/35 front and 275/30 rear would rub on my E550 sedan?

Whats the offset on the Mandrus? Staggered by any chance? Looking for something for my CLK..,thx

Just curious to why you chose these over the Vossen...

Nice choice!

I had actually gone with the vossen wheels and was very happy with them. They have already been sold since I was selling the car.... I actually ended up keeping it since I'm getting married and prefered to spend the extra money on home renovations.
