Introducing the new Vossen Forged VF-086 (Pics Inside)

I’m very proud to announce the release of our newest Vossen Forged wheel. Delivery of this wheel will be at the end of July.

Available sizes: 19” and 20”

Available Widths: 7” to 13”

Here are some 3D rendering of the VF-086. Real life images coming soon.

Would love to know what Mercedes owners think about this design…

I could see this with the 2009 R230. With the way the front grille has become more angular, the sharp lines of these wheels might mesh well. Not so sure with the 2003-2008, since the entire body line is more sinuous on those cars. Curious to see how they look in real life.

VendettaMB,
This is actually off message from the original thread but I had to ask, where did you install a 12" basetube and how does it sound? Please send a picture. I'm curious how you pulled that one off.
Thx

hey it came with car..its a cheap one but it just fits under the hardtop thing..sounds great in car..nice full sound. can be easily removed if needed for space. will take pics in a week when car back home

i saw a cool install where it was by passenger footwell, but looked expensive.
