Looking for a wheel: No lip, very concave, 18"; Suggestions?
Can anyone recommend a wheel for me.
I'm looking for a wheel that has no lip. Having no lip creates an effect that makes the wheel look larger.
It needs to be 18".
It needs to have offsets available under +20.
And it needs to have a concave look to it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Victor

Enkei RP03...I think that would be a perfect match. Let me find some pics.
Edit:
I think Z-1 sells them in 18x9 in +18 offset.

Check out www.tirerack.com they have a bunch of wheels with no lip that you can check out on the 350z with their software. BBS & SSR are two in the bunch.

how about running 18x9.5 nismos all around... they are little to no lip and very concave to make them look larger in the rear. Looks amazing IMO, not sure how they would look all around though.

That would be very cool if you did. I know there's a few of us who've wondered how it would fit after reading SCC article ~6 months ago.

They should fit other than perhaps just barely rubbing on the suspension upright. If they do rub a bit, I'd bet a 2mm spacer would fix that right up.

Actually if I get the 18" X 10.5" LM GT4 it might even be more concave. But I never seen a picture of it. They might have just made the pad wider and not more concave at all. Hmnn....
