Are 370z owners into concave wheels????? or would you rather have a big lip?
 
What do you guys think of this concept? The wheel will come in 20x9 and 20x10.5 and will have a 1.5" lip in the front and rear. The front will be flat and the rear will be really concaved.

I want to know if you guys like the concave look or if you prefer having a big lip in the rear.

Im not usually into concave wheels, but I DO like mesh wheels - I think that is a very good compromise between the two! Lets see some more if ya can.

I like the concave, do you know what they will wieght? Also will they be Forged? My forgestar F14's are concave and I love them.

Caravanshaka 08-03-2009 08:41 PM

Concave FTW.

Fusz, you get your F14's on yet? Hoping mine ship soon.

FuszNissan 08-03-2009 08:43 PM

Yep! They are the Sh*t!

:pics: or :gtfo2:

Sorry for slightly hijacking Vossen, but seeing the F14's will give you a rough idea of what your concave style would look like on the Z. I personally much prefer the concave look on this body style Z with the sharp lines. On the more rounded 350 I really liked the big lips, I guess cause it was more curvy like a woman :bowrofl:

Looking more closesly at the pictures, I think you should go for one or the other (or do 2 different faces and do both). If you are going to go concave, bring the outer edge of the wheel all the way to the face and give the front a tiny bity of concavity, and the rear really concave. If you are going to with the lip the front wheel looks good, and keep the face on the rear wheel the same and with the offset you'll have that big lip in the back.

I will up load some pics tomorrow. I don't think night shots will come out well.

AceSpade77 08-03-2009 09:38 PM

Big lip looks best to me

g96818 08-03-2009 10:37 PM

it looks "busy" i like the simple 5 or 6 spoke types with only minor concave

Dee@Amplified 08-03-2009 10:55 PM

Low Offset, Super Concave, and Flushness.... Aww yeah....

nogoodname 08-04-2009 08:53 AM

Shunya 08-04-2009 08:55 AM

fuct 08-04-2009 09:29 AM

sry

dlmartin81 08-04-2009 01:54 PM

CONCAVE baby!!

Brizzie 08-04-2009 01:58 PM

def. big lips

ssqpolo 08-04-2009 02:01 PM

Both. but there are a lack of nice concave rims. 360forged has some nice designs, but i probably wouldnt order anything from them based on absurd pricing and bad rep.

shabarivas 08-04-2009 03:10 PM

More importantly - what would the price point be? will these be cast or forged? What do you expect them to weigh? Can we expect any 19 fitments?

Nope, I love them. They are light, and tight!

DannyGT 08-04-2009 03:50 PM

BTW - Vossen, anyway you can go bigger...the true staggard setup is perfect/gorgeous but a 19x10 and 19x11 would be an even better setup! I really like the flat up front and concave rear, gives such a nice contrast!

FuszNissan 08-04-2009 03:53 PM

And if you can make them end up being a light wheel in 18 and 19 fitments, that would help as well

RCZ 08-04-2009 03:55 PM

hehe I told you jav, people dig the concave mesh :)

I do agree though that they have to be wider. 10/10.5 and 11 would be better.

Hehe and Danny stop trying to steal my deals ;)

nogoodname 08-04-2009 04:11 PM

I would go with 11 rears. Fat tires and concavity...wow

ssqpolo 08-04-2009 04:13 PM

ya.... i want to be running 315s on my back...so i can push all......250 horses...wa wa waaaaaaa...looks sexy tho
