That's not really concave.

EDIT: Actually, it's safe to say that it isn't concave.

You're not looking at the actual wheel.
Here's a little better one (still not sure if it's my width and offset)
I've also come to the realization that to get super concaved wheels I'm looking at $1000+/wheel.

I can see the wheel just fine. I'm not trying to antogonize, I just consider that wheel a lot more mesh than concave.

The Vossen CV1 has the same face plane as the wheel you suggested, but it isnt the same shape as the CV2, 3 or 5.

I don't know how mush CV2s run, but that is a concave mesh style. In any case, I will chop you a photo of your wheel to show my sincerity. The higher quality photo of your car, the better.

Here's a 3rd gen TL with the 310s. Similar color to my RSpec.

I really want to test fit them. Concerned about offset.


Front: 20x8.5 +20 Avant Garde M310 Dolphin Gray
Rear: 20x10 +20 Avant Garde M310 Dolphin Gray

What Hyundai board members are telling me the ideal offset is:
Front: 20x8.5 +35
Rear: 20x10 +40

Not interested in spending $2k+ on wheels that may not fit. Not a fan of wheels that stick out of the wheel well.

Maybe it's a visual illusion ... The background is moving but the wheels are not and it looks weird to me ...

I can vouch for the Forgestars being very nice wheels. I've had them for about a year now, no problems whatsoever, the finish is excellent and the wheel design is just stunning.

They're rotary forged, and lightweight. My 18x9 +30 wheels weigh about 18.x pounds each.

18's are $340 each. Excellent price for such a wheel, but be prepared to wait. Took me 2 months to receive them. Well worth it though.

I am not a fan of gun metal wheels on cars that aren't black, white, or match the color of the wheel.

They make the 310 in dolphin grey?? Sweet. It's hard to photoshop a mesh wheel, and they probably arent doing the rim justice with the concavity playing off the light.

As to the offset problem, idk what the differences between the sedan and coupe, but this picture is +20 on the coupe. Guess you won't need spacers? Haha

According teh the Googlenets:

19 x 9.5 +22
19 x 10.5 +22

That setup means hella flush or something on a coupe

When I was zoomed in this was looking pretty good. Then after I saved and zoomed out, I noticed I made it a 22" wheel up front and some hellaflushness out back

Consider doing square setup? 20x8.5 all around and put a 10-15mm spacer in the back if needed?

I don't think a square set gets him the look he wants to be honest.

If he wants concave, he will need to be at least 9.5" in back. Really, he should be aiming for 10"+ with an R-Spec.

Yeah want 10" wide in the back. That should give me a nice concave look.

Talking to Throwdown to see if the super deep concave Forgestar F14s will fit. Realize they only have those in 19s but wow what concavity.

but hey, if you want the other styles they offer from Avant Garde, i'm told they do offer a redrill service for $15/wheel
