Are you guys into concave wheels????? or would you rather have a 4" lip?
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.

I like the concave and the lip design. Guess it just depends on which car the rim is going into.

Also i believe NEEZ wheels already have a concave mesh design rim.

I used to be a phat lip guy back in the day, but now I have to give a lot of love to the concave look. I see too many cars (You come to mind Benzoboi) that look sweeeeet with the concave look.

Deuces...

been racking my brain for the last few weeks as well, Concave as in the pic are usually a 1 or 2 piece wheel so they are a little lighter than a 3 piece with a deep dish. If your performance concience go with a 1 piece concave . i was buying into that rotating mass too much so i was leaning to a concave first But that deep lip on a lowered car looks sick and sooo agressive so im going deep !!!

I'm growing to hate lips. My HRE's have minimal ones but I hate them.
