19" Nismo LMGT4
Are the new 19x9.5 (rear) Nismo LMGT4 rims concave like the 18x9.5 (rear) LMGT4s are? Because in all the pictures I've seen for the 2005/2006 Nismo S-Tune Z's, the rear LMGT4's are NOT concave. They look exactly the same as the front rims.
I was thinking about upgrading the rear rim only, so that I have 19" rear and 18" front; but I don't want to lose that unique look with the rear being concave. Or if that's a bad idea, to upgrade all around to 19".
Thanks for your responses!

Do you have pics?

Hmm
I'm assuming the offset is the same on the rears. You can push the wheels out to get that offset (+30 mm) with a 9.5" wheel by:
1. A big Lip.
2. Concave spokes.
3. A thicker hub.
The lip looks the same, the concave spokes seem to be gone. I wonder if the hub is thicker. I don't see another answer.
BTW, I'm really partial (love the concave look) to my rear wheels.

Hmmm...I'm not quite sure why Nismo went with the flat look. If' they'd increased the lip and concaved the spokes, etc., they'd probably double the sales of the 19".

One of the things that I liked best about the Nismos, was the concave design for the rear. That's a shame that they didn't design them the same way, only in a 19.
