So, I've been talking with Vossen wheels cause I wanted a new wheel setup for this year. I was more specifically looking at the Vossen VVS CV3. Anyway, I told the guy I was dealing with the ride I had..an 08 Nissan Altima Coupe and you'll never believe what he repsonded with:

"We are unaware of anyone running 19/20s on any car outside the Corvette and they have their own specific wheel in the VVS CV3. You will need a lot of rear fenderwork to fit the 20x10.5 rears since your car is FWD but it can be done like the Accords. "Make it Happen'!"

When I read that I was like :wtf2: :spitout: Obviously, this guy was a noob and couldn't tell the difference between a steering wheel and a rim. Mind you, these are custom made to your specs and offset. This experience doesn't build condifidence what so ever :facepalm:

Great choice, I've had plans to pick these up over the next few years but they are pricey! They have been my favorite wheel for awhile now but unfortunately they are getting a little played out at this point. I've been following Vossen through Facebook and their blog for a long time now and everything from minivans to crosstours have put them on.

That crosstour is a local here in Dallas. Saw it a week or so before it started getting the exposure in online. It looks pretty nice imo. You don't like it?

I'd like some 19" cv1's

Ya the owner of the G lives by me I've seen him a few times at meets and it's even more beautiful in person. The Brembo's are yellow as well to match the emblem, and I even noticed he painted the inner housing of the side mirrors yellow behind the actual mirror. You can barely see it but it's a very subtle touch that makes it that much nicer.
