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've always preferred concaved wheels on most M model cars. On a Porsche however, 4" lip would be key (imo).

Lip fosho. The whole concave thing may come into it's own someday, but I think it is just going to fizzle out.

Concave is really nice. I feel that the lip is over saturated on all cars now a days. Not opposed to have a fat lip but concave is realyl nice to certain cars. Kind of like the E46 M3 CSL. Concave is very nice especially when the rear is really concaved.

I like it!

Some of the older generations scream lip -such as e39 M5, while the latest models could do either.

The most popular wheel on the M3 now is the OEM ZCPs. They go close to retail even after the stop of the car's production. The rear aggressive concavity just does it. Everyone can throw a deep dish on a set of wheels, but a right concavity will make you money like no other.

concave and reverse lips, it's a little hard to find but it's are when you find that combo.

I'm all for more concave wheels, as there are too many modular/big lip choices out there already.

For the smaller cars like the Porsche or M3, I like the big lip wheels, but for the M5, E series, etc. I prefer the one-peice preferably concave.
