Comparing the CSL reps with the VM V715s

I usually prefer a wheel with a lip. Buy is it my imagination that the CSL reps seem to APPEAR larger than the V715 with a lip. Is it because the spokes of the CSLs extend to the end of the rim rather than ending at the inside of the rim?

Wheels with lips always give off the effect of looking smaller.

those are the two wheels that I've narrowed my choice down to. Pretty sure I'm gonna go with the Hyperblack CSL

Me too, but I probably will go with the silver. I do like the polished lip though.

I may be in the minority, but I really dont like the look of the V715's. It tried to be 2 things, a CSL wheel and a wheel with a lip. It didnt do either of those well, and it looks pretty cheap...

just MHO...

Yeah that's what I thought as well...but who knows...maybe it looks better in person...a lot of these photos do not do the wheels justice....

+1. You and I ARE the minority. These rims and most similiar in price and design get much love from most peeps...

V715's are a newer style... there are over 1000 cars out there with CSL wheels.. NOT including the M3 ZCP's that come with them OEM (anyone know how many thousands of those were produced?)... go with something a little more fresh. Also, don't worry how they look in pictures... in person they are breathtaking!

We are offering our V715's for $899 with some incentives for buyers... Contact us and we'll take care of you

jk

they both look great! I only wanted CSL reps coz i fell in love with CSL. I was offered other similar ones but wouldn't take them coz they're not what i fell in love with.
dont get the V715's just coz they look similar to CSL's. you will hate them, simply coz they're not! Get them coz you like something in them, i.e. dont compare
