What do you guys think of this concept? The wheel will come in 20x9 and 20x10.5 and will have a 1.5" lip in the front and rear. Only difference is the rear will be really concaved.

I want to know if you guys like the concave look or if you prefer having a big 4" lip in the rear.

Concave would look really good. Something different.

The forum is kinda split on this. I say lip for sure. I dont like concave wheels on a G. Belongs on a BMW.

holy cow, the fronts look more concave than the rears!!

I think i'm torn between the two.. if i got concave i think the fronts would have to be a little more concave than that. Can't go wrong with rims and a huge lip though!

Jav --

I've been around G forums for a while and the consensus shows that about 80% (my guestimate) prefer wheels with lips and not concave. For some reason they just don't (in most cases) look right on a G as they would on a BMW or other car.

Hope that helps.
