The 360 forged wheel have a lip combined with the spokes. They have not been released yet and 9k MSRP, so it would be amazing for someone else to produce something similar. Pleasssssse make me something like this that I can afford.


Better picture

over the last 4-5 years in the community, its pretty obvious that the large majority of people prefer lips. however, there are still a select few that want concave wheels for the look and to be different. i think from your lineup jay that it wouldnt be a bad idea to include at least 1 concave set if you feel the return will be worth it. and like others have said, if you're going concave - dont even bother with lips so you can get a deeper angle.

when 360 forged actually comes out with an ACTUAL wheel and not just renderings, then ill consider them.

the thing is the best looking concave wheels are offered for the bmws. now if vossen were to make something like 360's new line then that would be something. because u get the image of a lip but still have the new concave look which is becoming more and more popular.

lol theres no "lip" on the porsche. its just the normal inner barrel that every wheel has. they just painted it since you seen it more with concave wheels. some people get them painted on wheels with lips to stand out or even hide the normal silver.

It is a lip. Just painted.

I am in love with those rims and would buy them in a second if they were not 9k. I could spend 4-5k max on them. If someone else can do it hint hint hint, I would buy them in a second.

well technically it is a lip. its a 3 piece rim, almost all concave rims are monoblock so they cant achieve a look like that because if they tried the paint would have to fall on to the spokes and you would get a pinstripe look. but i can see what your saying.

Saying goodbye to curb rash might motivate a few G-drivers to convert to concave :-)

I think concave looks better on a BMW but I'd like to see it on a G37...

I think if you produce somethin along the lines of the 360 wheels at an "affordable" price comparable to the other Vossens then there will be sufficient demand to justify producing at least 1 or 2 wheel designs.. if only a x percent of G drivers like that concave look, you'll capture a good/great portion of that section of the market's profit potential with your pricing..
