      Vossen Wheels

      Hello,

      Do you think this wheel line with the concave face would be a new approach for the Pro Touring Market? We are working on something to allow the fitment requirements with this wheel line to fit the PT market.

      Let me know your thoughts on these wheels...

      the v1's look like covered wagon wheels. But the v2's look nice.

      The part I like is the concave and the stainless lip. We are thinking of offering a more dimensional wheel line...

      I like those wheels on certain types of cars (audi, bmw, ect), but Im not sure about american muscle. ..Give it a try, we cant all do the same thing.

      Biggest drawback is they are only available in 20's/22's.

      I wouldn't sign on to be a vendor of theirs. Its a total mis-match for american muscle and have fun with them when you have a problem with their wheels. They didnt leave much on the way of profit either, not compared to other wheels anyways.

      classic muscle, pro touring or not, needs a wheel with some lip. those wheels have no lip. they may call it concave, but it is just a flat faced wheel with the center sucked in.

      and as others have said, 20's/22's only is a no go. I have 20" rears and would NOT run a 20" front. if they offered those wheels in 18" and 19", you would have a better market in the pt world.

      This is good feedback as I am only searching for a different offering.

      Do you like a rim with a step or a smooth lip? Also do you like a rim without a drop center vs. a drop center? Without a drop center this would make a 18" look like a 20" as an example but still have the option of staggered applications. Also and lastly, Would the PT market like a true knock off wheel (tightened by way of hex nut or 3 bar knockoff tightened via lead hammer)?

      Those are good looking for todays more modern cars,not sure how they'd look on old classics and and as has been mentioned,20" front wheels is a no-go.

      i agree w/ the previous posters; monoblock concaves might not suit muscle cars. but they do have a 3PC line; i could envision a couple of those on a muscle car.

      Found this on the site.

      Nice wheels, would be good to have an 18' option.
