Draco-REX Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 CR Collective: Oh god, not another wheel thread from Draco... C'mon, these threads are always entertaining. Time to fit the S5 with new shoes. All options will be in a matte graphite/gunmetal and 20". Vossen CV3, 20" http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y236/Gstno1/PA050642.jpg http://blog.wheelspecialists.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/image21.jpg Pros: Clean design Light look for a heavy car 20" available A nod towards the stock "rotor" look Cons: Upper end of my budget. Forgestar F14 Super Deep Concave http://www.forgestar.com/blog/pics/e90superdeep2.jpg http://www.modbargains.com/zoom_img/forgestar-f14-textured-black-audi-in-stock-dj4_1361453113.JPG Pros: Concave, concave, concave! A more classic spoked look Priced well within the budget Cons: Was only 19" until recently, 20" availability may suck Heavy look. Verde Axis V99 http://www.need4speedmotors.com/forum/mbworld/verde/axis/verde-axis-v99-matte-graphite-concave-mercedes-benz-sl550-r231-wheels-01.jpg http://www.need4speedmotors.com/forum/mbworld/verde/axis/verde-axis-v99-matte-graphite-concave-mercedes-benz-sl550-r231-wheels-03.jpg Pros: Lowest cost. New split spoke design I like Cleaner look than the F14 Cons: Low cost may = cheap It's a close knock-off of a HRE design There are a couple others I like, but these are the top 3.

Mr. Jones Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Verde Axis V99 by a football field for me. For some reason, I can't stand the CV3's pretty much on any car. F14's = meh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Alex- Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Verde Axis V99 by a football field for me. For some reason, I can't stand the CV3's pretty much on any car. F14's = meh. Same here. Also, from the looks of the 2 CV3 pics, lowering the car is a must. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POS VETT Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 The Vossen is somewhat unusual as in the position of the valve. I have mixed feeling about Verde, but then again Vossen shouldn't be much different. Forgestar should be the one that leans into lightweight and strength. I don't have any preference of the three since I'm more into wheels with large lip nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draco-REX Posted March 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Same here. Also, from the looks of the 2 CV3 pics, lowering the car is a must. I plan to drop it about 1". I need to keep as much of the stock ride quality as I can, so I'm looking at the H&R OE Sport springs. The Vossen is somewhat unusual as in the position of the valve. I have mixed feeling about Verde, but then again Vossen shouldn't be much different. Forgestar should be the one that leans into lightweight and strength. I don't have any preference of the three since I'm more into wheels with large lip nowadays. The Forgestars aren't exactly forged, believe it or not. It's only the outer barrel that's forged. So they're probably on par with the others in weight. I can see greater strength due to the better spread of spokes however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

POS VETT Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 I was just quoted a VERY attractive price on the V99s... What diameter, width, and offset and what's the price? The V99 looks too close to '9+ Z06 wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cstmg8 Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Verde, I had actually just looked at them for the G8, as I am tired of the blacked out look. I think they would really set the Audi off, where have you seen the best prices? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
