Anyone know of a wheel that would resemble an '03/'04 Cobra wheel (or perhaps a Saleen look) that is DD, but rather than having a "lip" the "bars" are angled out to the edge of the rim like the stock wheel? Probably not the best explanation.

I'm wheel illiterate, but I think CONCAVE is the word I'm looking for.

Are you looking for a wider rim that has a stock look to it?

Why is it gay? If that is the look he wants then IMO that is cool. Not everyone has the same tastes in wheels.

Sounds like he's just wanting a wider rim? Concave is just refering the the wheel not having a lip but the spokes of the wheel going in, like this ) lol.

Not sure how it would look on a cobra, but concave is badass looking on most cars.

Yes a wider rim with a stock look. Again, when it comes to backspacing and offsets I'm clueless. It just seems if you're looking at the wider, affordable wheels or replica wheels, you have two choices - 1)traditional deep dish or 2) a wheel where all the additional width is to the "inside" of your car. I'd rather a concave looks, where you could put a 10.5" wheel and not worry about spacers to get your wheel flush with the fender or IRS clearance issues. I found a couple examples, but I know they're expensive wheels. Some are extreme in size and style, but you get the picture.

that last 370z looks freaking good with those wheels on it. Some guy just posted up on here not long ago about some shop that does high end cars and is going to start doing 03/04 cobra (same lug pattern as 94-04) concave wheels.

I've my set on order for the same rims in the pic quoted from 360 Forged. Should be on the car next month or so...I'll post pics when they are mounted. Yes they are very expensive...
