New Vossen CV1s

Just celebrated 1 year with my E55. Decided to buy her a few new items.
Flat badge, black grill (thanks Komp55), Renntech ELM1 & some sweet Vossen CV1s.

The car is totally stock and just turned 37k on the odometer.

I must say the guys at Vossen are awesome to work with. I give them customer service award of the month.

I hope you guys enjoy the pics.

Excellent!

I love that wheel on the 211 although you Don't see it that much. Is that one of their finishes or did you have it done? More pix!

It was a special edition they did. I was looking for something different that would really show off the blue. I thought these were the right choice.

Just went and got the alignment done at the Alignment Factory. Let me tell you this place has been in business for 32 years in the same location. They do nothing but alignments. Car came out great. Could not be happier.

Thank you very much. I was nervous going with the 20s. I was not sure how the ride would be, but I do not have any regrets now. The ride is actually really good.

They are 20x9 and 20x10.5. The fit is awesome. I'm running 295s out back no rubbing at all.
