Great looking wheel, very simple and clean. I'm kind of surprised the Z06 didn't take a larger lip, sort of like the one shown in the flyer ad above. What kind of car(s) will it take to get that deep lip shown here:

Exactly what I was thinking.

360 Forged made a post a few months ago - https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...you-asked.html

That's what I was expecting before I opened up this thread. 2.5" Concave in front, 3.5" in rear. I don't think I'd buy from 360 Forged based on all the negative press I've heard about them, but all that aside, I LOVE these wheels that they're coming out with.

How much were you expecting? It's a 12.5" wheel, the axle has to meet that wheel somewhere.

That is a rendering.. will never look like that..

Transformers the movie, Optimus Prime is super cool and real looking.. but at the end of the day its still fake. Get my point..

What are the measurements? The ones 360 are building have a 2.5" concave in front, 3.5" in rear.

I was also thinking that the wheels in the original post have more room for a deeper concave, since the spokes don't go to the very edges of the lip, and if they did go to the very edge then they'd easily look as good as the ones in the 360 Forged rendering.

These 19" MVR Magnum's aren't concave wheels, but just showing these as an example of how I'm thinking the spokes could go out to the very edge of the wheel: http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthr...=348734&page=2
