Best concave rims?
 

Post the name and picture of what you think are the best concave rims. I'm debating myself which i think are the best, but there could be so many out there that i don't know about.

I tried to get a decent shot of every rim discussed, hopefully one that shows off the concavity. In some cases, i'll admit it was difficult finding any flattering pictures of some of the rims

weights of the rims (tried to get as close to 18x8 to keep a level playing field, but in some cases, 18x8 was not an option):

Do you mean something that has a large lip? Deep dish style? Cause there are plenty of those. Quality wheels too from Volk to Work

I would like to see some nice concave rims with out lips

SEARCH


Thread is called FUK YOUR LIPS

actually i did search, but unless i go through 5 pages of crap that isn't even related to concave rims, i turn up 3 threads that don't have pictures.

Since I don't have any good shots, I figured I'd take a quick pic with the phone while walking the dog. Advan T7's.

TE37 takes the cake

And I can clearly see why.








Hah j/k nice wheels. ;)

I'm also diggin the RE30's and Advans.

te37 allways takes the cake.


but for concave, advan rs IS THE BEST

The TE37's do always look good.

but almost any wheels from Advans line are also great concave wheels.

19x 10.5 R

19x 9.5 F

+22 all around

Blitz spoiler is PS'd on... I actually have Data Systems :)

Bee R B5's are a top candidate. :thumbup:

i love these wheels

^^That's the winner. TE's and LMGT4's are really concave with aggressive offsets (18x10.5 +12) These are concave too.

^^^^

ooohhh those are nice!

Gullflame...they look great. Any idea how heavy hey are in?

pretty heavy Ive heard since they are cast - I think I read on the evo forums that they are about 25lbs per 18"

Advan RGII are pretty concave. ;)

i got something for y'all.... will post it up tonite.

subing to see ^^

Forget about lips, forget about concave faces. It's all about center crater depth.

LMAO "center crater depth"
Anyone remember that thread with the guy pointing out how deep his "center lip" was I think they were work rims but I forget.

I love the RGs :D b/c I have a set :o

Te's are nice but seen all over ;)

go up to 18 inch - sizing is a bit limited but if you do an aggressive offset the concavity is huge

Check out sizes/colors and to order here:

the really are not all that heavy at all all things considered - very similar in spec to the Work Emotion series and Gram Lights.

Hey adam you got anymore pics of that 350z with the Volk RE30. I have always wanted to see what RE30's would look like on a 350z.

te-37's, time attacks, best concavity in it's class!

Pix of TE Again...

Man those look awesome!

i just saw the yellow skyline today at the VIP/LUX 5 show. he was parked right in front of our booth (air runner)

If only Bee R5s were in 10.5 with 15 offset...

still have something for us?

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?

completely depends on the wheel

i have updated the first post to include several pictures and the weights of each of the rims discussed so far

Hey Adam do you have anymore pics of the Volk RE30 on a 350z or does anyone have a pic of the RE30's on a 350z???

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