Hunt for unique rims

OK.

Here is what I'm looking for.


I want to find rims that have aggressive offset but instead of having spokes go straight and have a 3.5-4 inch lip. I want spokes to go either all the way to the edge of the rim or to almost edge of the rim and then disappear deep inside towards the center of the rim.


Help me out pleaze.

You are looking for concave wheels. Here is a good place to start

You can see there is still a lip on that rim but spokes do come almost to the edge of the rim and they all the way back inside the rim.

Making it kinda look like a bowl.

That's the look I need.
