GL450 on Vossen CV3
First off I wanted to give a big thanks to Chris at FXAutodesign for their excellent customer service. There were a few hiccups during my transaction but Chris went above and beyond to resolve the issues. I would highly recommend anyone looking to purchase some wheels to consider purchasing from FXAutodesign. They have great prices on wheels and their customer service is top notch.
These are Vossen CV3 22"x10.5" wheels all the way around. They look great but please keep in mind that if you go with a 285/40 series tire or larger there might be some rubbing when the steering wheel is cocked in any direction. My advice is to go to a more lower profile tire like 275/40, 35 series, or drop down to the 22"x9" wheels in front.
Any case, here's what they look like.

How did the wheels and tires cost you, if you don't mind me asking? And how about the ride. Does it ride harsher than the stock wheels? And if so, is that something you think you can live with?
Ride looks awesome by the way. That's a proper baller truck!

Thanks guys. I paid $2,430 shipped for the wheels and $1400 for the tires.
It's a bit harsher than stock, but not too noticeable. You'll get used to it after a few minutes and the ride is still great for day to day driving.

Super hot I too had vossens on my 2011 GL and went with 22x9 and had 285/40-22 tires. Loved the look. Currently thinking of putting them on my 2013 GL after I get some tires. As for ride you get used to it but you do find it harsher and of course not as smooth as stock. You will also see heavy wear on brakes. Overall the looks totally out way the small issues.

Normallu I am not a big aftermartket wheel guy on the big SUV, but this looks incredible. Love the finish on the wheel as well, totally matches the irridium, wow, love it!
