What do you guys think of this concept? The wheel will come in 20x9 and 20x10.5 and will have a 1.5" lip in the front and rear. Only difference is the rear will be really concaved.

I want to know if you guys like the concave look or if you prefer having a big lip in the rear.

I think a concave wheel is definitely cool and very aggressive looking. Depending on the way I want my car to look, I like both. If I want a more aggressive look, a concave wheel would be perfect but if I'm going for style, I like the big lip. I think it is a great idea. Should do well.

I absolutely love the concave look with a high-end, high quality wheel. Very unique too, very few people have them these days. As long as it's very concaved

Personally if it's going to be concave, I'd prefer no lip at all- better to utilize that space for a more extreme concave... at least 3.5-4"

I think the concave look is good, the Japanese wheel companies have been doing it for years and everyone seems to love it! but I don't know how great they would look on luxury cruisers.

cant you do a face with like a 4" concave and then set it in a 4" lip? that way you would have the best of both worlds

BMW pretty much set the look for this type of wheel IMO on the M3 (at least I didn't really pay attention to them until I kept seeing them on M3's...LOL)! I like the look, but to me the car needs to have a flared body to accent the wheels!

I've always liked these:

Although I don't trust 360 based on all the bad information I've heard about them.
