Default Poll: What wheel type would you choose?

So I've been shopping around for wheels for a while now. I have a few different wheels in mind already, but for curiosity's sake, I would like to see what the forum consensus is.

Which wheel style would you prefer to see on a TP IS250 with the GFX/Vertex front lip and the MyRide rear diffuser on the car. It will be lowered.

I realize this is hard to do without any pics for reference, so I'm going to use itzhieu's car as an example (I hope this is okay).





The reason for this is because I was initially going for a milder look, which a full face concave wheel would be perfect for. However, now that I have the MyRide rear, it's going to look more aggressive, so I may keep in line with that and go with more of a tuner wheel like a deep lip or a step lip. Assuming each wheel style costs the exact same, which wheel style would you choose and why?

I voted concave full face... Just love the look, but If you could do Concave with big lip instead of small lip I would've voted for that. Either way I think you'll be alright with full face concave, still looks pretty aggressive IMO.

me personally ive always been a bigger fan of step lip wheels over anything. i like reverse lip as well but as of recent if it isnt alot of lip for the particular car, ill look past it. Concave is cool too if its hella concaved.

step lip is all win

I vote deep lip, only go concave if you buy a three piece wheel so you can actually go aggressive with it. Those generic offset, one piece wheels that are concave just don't do it for me.

Vossens are so over rated to me. They're not aggressive enough, and it's just a cookie cutter wheel that everyone can own (and they do, because they're cheap). At least even replica varrstoens are aggressive haha.

you have to check out the new Work Emotions they are way more concave than before. thats one of the few concave wheels i like and they are still 1 piece

you dont really see alot of multi piece concave wheels next to Rotiforms or something along those lines

It mainly depends on how aggressive your going to go. I would choose between step lip or concave. Oh and any brand one piece concave wheels have set offsets and easy for anyone to get lol! Anyone can own a set of one piece concave Work Emotions for cheaper than Vossen or Concavo, just saying..

I wonder if I'd be able to change your mind when I run 20x10plus 30 up front and 20x10.5 plus 15 rear chrome barreled with black spoke CV3's

Just to clarify, that isn't my car, that's itzhieu's car. I'm just using it as an example since I have a rep MyRide diffuser that I may end up putting on my tungsten pearl car. Sorry for the confusion!

It seems that I could go with anything out of the four choices listed, but the more popular choices are the step lip and the full face concave. For the record, I was actually torn between those two.

Currently trying to decide between:

19" ConceptOne CSL5.5s (step lip) Undecided on gloss black/matte black or polished/matte silver.


20" Vossen CV7s (full face concave). Polished silver if I got these.


19" or 20" Stance SC-6ix (full face concave). I'd probably go with slate grey machined.


I don't want to spend too much on wheels so the Vossens would probably be the most expensive, and the CSL5.5s are the cheapest.
