Looking for bowl style rims
I'm still a couple of months off from getting rims and a drop, but I was looking through all the rim threads, and a couple dozen sites, to no avail. Some of you may recall a similar thread started by joker a little while back.
I am looking for bowl style rims. I suppose they could also be referred to as parabolic or concave rims. I'm hoping to find the following:
-staggered 19x9 or 19x9.5 and 19x10.5
-5 or perhaps 6 spokes that meet the lip (or rather lack of lip) at the edge of the rim
-Largest possible delta between rim lip and lugs
-Prefer black, but willing to refinish
-Prefer to use stock 5x114.3, but willing to run adapters if necessary
Anyone have any ideas?
Here are some example pics just to show the concave element I am talking about.

But there's nothing wrong with upgrading.
So if I'll be moving on to somethings. It's better be something wild.....Simple lip will not do.

g75x - Ive looked at the 5zigen rims, but they are not quite what I am looking for. I have used my awesome image manipulation skillz (with a 'z') to demonstrate.
Hard to explain the difference, but it bends inward rather than outward.
Deezflip - Ive done the search, but still haven't found quite what I'm looking for. It was also my hope that since I have expanded the criteria to other bolt patterns, people might have more suggestions. The previous threads I have seen have all remained with the stock 5x114.3. If I did miss something, please point it out. I would be great full

Those HR2s are one of the closer set of rims I've seen recently. Ive looked in depth at the HR1s in the past, but I'm less interested in mesh style rims.
Its unfortunate that MMR only makes up to 9.5 wide. If they would make 10.5s it would give much more of the bowl look.
I appreciate the help, but I'm still looking
