Default Vossen CVT test fit / shoot on 2013 S6

Drove down to Miami last week to test fit some CVT's (their new wheel) on the S6. I'd wanted to stick with 20's, but the 20's wouldn't clear the s6 brake in the front (it rubbed on the inside of the barrel, not the inside of the face). They wanted to shoot the cars with 22's which did end up looking nice. Not sure when the video / photos will be released since they're likely getting ready for SEMA.

I think we came to the conclusion that you'd have to run their wheels in a 22 to fit them, or the cv1, cv2 in a 20 should work with the right offset and clear the brake.

Was a fun trip down there, and it was cool seeing the people behind the curtain--as well as the facility they work in (even if they are moving to a newer warehouse soon)

Good looking wheel. 22" is starting to look a little gHetTo however. Just my opinion of course.

Yes, the wheels are crazy sexy--I wanted a 20, but the (term escapes me) part of the inside of their concave wheels rubbed our rediculously large calipers. So, they shot them with 22's. I desired more tire, and If they made them in a 21... would have probably been perfect for my car (after powdercoating a bit darker)

Good option for a8's probably - 22's that is... We found that the 20's in the cv1/cv2 should fit the s6--which are some good options!
