360 CONCAVE latest CLS
This is our second CLS on our new Concave5......not the same car.
The wheel sizes are 20x9/20x11. Tires are 255/30R20 and 305/25R20. Thanks for your interest.

The rear rim looks good, the front rim looks flat.They should have made the front the same concave as he rear and brought the spoke all the way to edge of the lip like it is in the rear.

Think of it as being similar to the situation where someone with a FWD car wants their wheels to look like those on a RWD car. Or if you expect wheels for a SL/CLS to appear like that on a new C63. Things like these constant changes keep the wheel business interesting.
We always appreciate customer feedback.

BTW, after seeing the 2 cars here in person the difference is not nearly so great on wheels with a silver center and lip vs. one with a silver center and
black lip.

that's how staggered concave wheels are supposed to be, have you seen a stock cls55 wheel, exact same thing. Also with BMW 21" style 128, the rear is more concave than the front. I don't like the black lip though.

For example this car looks like 2 different wheels too.

They would still be staggered 2.5 in the front and a 4.0 in the rear. The only thing that would change is the front center would come to the end of the lip making them look more formal.

The front wheel on the Cls has about a inch of real stagger, meaning from the center disk spoke to the edge of the lip. The rear has no real stagger, why not make them the same? Make the front look like the rear and its all good!
