the bee-r rims look just like nismo rims with high offset.

Nismo offers a 18x10.5 +15 which I am thinking is the same wheel as the bee-r ones. it's 580 per wheel.

Excuse my newbness but as the offset gets lower does the wheel become more concave?

It depends on if the spokes connect to the rim on the inside or out towards the outside of the rim.

Looks like 5Zigen is joining the concave face crowd with the PRORACER ZR+520. Pretty nice...

Love the prodrives....a rare wheel too !

The 5Zigens are going to be very nicely priced...in between the FN01RC and the GN+

the 5zigens nearly nailed it.. but if you look closely, or at higher resolution pics, they are called "twist concept", there's a goofy indention on the spokes that just dont need to be there. it looks like a starburst. They didnt need that, it takes away from the design IMO.

Those 5-spoke Advans are friggin' sweet. I dig the Prodrive GC-05's the best, and would love to own a set of those in flat black. This is a nice thread. I love the concave rims better than deep dish wheels. Personally, a set of BBS forged Magnesium RE in flat black would be ideal (if I were made of money): http://www.bbs-usa.com/index.php?id=321
The Z06 competing in the USCC has a set in black. Very nice.
