You do realize that my old wheels will bolt up perfectly to that monster CLS of yours, right? I'm sure we can work something out.

Thanks Sean. I mean....they're no 13" wide body wheels like somebody I know has.

Methinks Vossen is gonna sell a lot of these to SL owners, once the pics start rolling in. They look great, they're priced right, and flow great on the R230 cars.

I'm thinking Vossen may be able to do much better for forum members?
Vossen doesn't sell direct to the consumer, but may I suggest D2 Autosport/D2 Forged for a Vossen group buy. Derrick and Stefan are absolute class acts, and will do whatever it takes to make you happy. Within reason....

Thanks guys for the Love. We signed off of MBWorld for a couple months due to lack of sales, but I think Vossen gave us the reason to come back so here we are.

I will create a forsale thread soon and post the link here. D2 is back MBWorld.

Oh my gawd, oh my gawd, oh my gawd...

They're here, they're here, they're here!

I'll take some "in the flesh shots" tonight, after I beat my kids and put them down to bed.

I think I'm going to sleep with one of them in my bed tonight.

Ok, here we go....

Let's start with the packaging. Now, I've purchased more than a few sets of wheels. I've never seen packaging this good. Normally, it's just 4 boxes sitting on your doorstep. These were super heavy duty boxes, had very sturdy corner reinforcements, and then all strapped down with box straps:




Let open her up. There was another cardboard insert over the wheel that's not pictured. Removing that reveals a dust cover. Let's see what's in there.





Removing the dust cover, and my heart starts to race a little bit. Oh there you are darlin'.



Let's take her out. Oh the concave sickness....

And the dirty pool table. What evs....


Finish looks razor sharp. No bleeding paint edges, nothing but gorgeous Vossen awesomeness...







Hey, where's the hole for the valve stem? Ah, there it is. Hidden inside the barrel so it doesn't disturb the face of the wheel.



All 4, just beckoning to be gazed upon



CV3s getting love from the best team in the NFL!




And as a little thank you, I was sent an amazing photo album! Even the quality of the photo album is unreal. The thing must weigh 10 pounds....



Oh, hello there Mr. license plate frame. And another cameo by the best team in the NFL.



I wonder where the valve stems and center caps are? Oh....

Fuzzy math tells me that the weights are 27f/29r.
