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.

Hi Joker,
I though you were happy with your M45 rims.Then again, very few people on these forums are ever truly satisfied with the state of their G35, coupes epically.

 

I am happy.

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.

do a search on concave or concaved wheels, that should get u some threads on these kind of wheels.

 

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

 

i see what you mean,
your gonna have a hard time just surfin the web, i know i did trying to help search in the past, unless you know of specific manufacturers, that style is an acquired taste.

 

maybe? it's lowenhart wheels

 

you might want to check out mrr wheels. some of them give off that concave look. i love my hr2s good luck

 

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

 

The hard thing about the really concave wheels is they cut down on available clearance for BBKs. Most wheel companies I've come across tend to avoid this since they're geared towards "performance" cars. . .(I use the term loosely.) Good luck tho.
