for more concave look.

^not true, since most concave wheels are 1 piece, your pretty much stuck with that mold has to offer. You can't just order lower offsets and get a deeper dish like multi piece wheels.

You know concavity isn't directly related to offset right? Those m6 wheels you keep using as an example for negative offsets have the following specs
Front - 19" X 8.5"J, offset +12
Rear - 19" X 9.5"J, offset +17

The deeper concavity the better.


If there is nothing available in negative offset I'll take positive.

As long as I get nice smooooooooooooth concaved spokes.

These wheel are bad ****! I saw them on a 350z in a tuner mag yesterday and I looked them up. They are pretty pricey and only come in one color. But very nice. Look great staggered.

I think the problem is that you are making the assumption that the amount of lip shown on deep dish rims can be converted to a cone/concave design. What you are not taking into effect is the fact that the the deep lip is achieved because the spokes go back in PAST the hub (towards the axles) to create more dish.

The g35 mount points are not inset enough to create the dramatic concave look that you are trying to acheive, unless, as someone mentioned, you go with a wide-body kit or have wheels that jut out extensively.

There are several wheels that many poster have mentioned that fit very closely to your design, the main problem is that the concave look is not really noticeable because of the size limitation of our car. If the same wheels were put on a very wide car, it would achieve the desired look.

So far I have not seeing any wheels besides G-power on the BMW that come close to what I'm looking for.

Concave them same way G-Power wheels are on BMW.

Maybe more if possible.

+10000...many people mistaken offsets as a size of lips, concavity, or even brake clearance.

check out my etch-n-sketch, same amount of concavity face, different offsets. It's really that unknown spacing shown on the drawing to the right is what confuses people. No wheel manutfacturer gives or even considers this measurement.

He keep saying he wants a negative offset. I drive a sedan so I am not positive off the top of my head, but isn't coupe normally about +30mm? A negative offset like -20mm would stick out 50mm or 2 inches further for the same width wheel. That might allow you to have a more concaved face but would look, like __fill in the blank__. Those M wheels look nice. Save the money and enjoy them.
