Brian, I hope you're asking this question because you're thinking about stepping up in the wheel game! You know we're all doing it BIG in the bay over here now! : ]

You know my vote.


Can I tease you?

Hey Justin, i hope you can get the problem resolve man. I'll call you tmr about it.

i would say go for FAT lip unless you are building a track car. If you can find..STEP LIP will be the best!!!! 19" SSR professor SP1!!

Some BLING EQUIPS..sorry i just have to post this:

concave if you're going for the sporty/race/power look, lip if you're after the vip look.
i like both, it really depends on what the rest of the car is designed for.

Well if UPS can't figure their stuff out this is going to be even more of a hassle for the both of us...

Those Equips are looking good though. If this doesn't work out you still got those?

i agree that the concave are for that sporty, power look. and the lips are stylish, vip look. it depends on what you want and have already, or what your looking to accomplish.

Im loving the concave. heres mine





pics are before lowering

I prefer the look of concave wheels, but you cant get enough width out of them. The killer with the SC/Soarer is it looks good with both styles. I'd do dish, just so you can get 9/10 or wider.

i like big lips...preferably 5-7 inches wide

but ccw makes killer concave rims
so my theory is this...if you have a stock power train, go VIP ang get some big lips, get some good suspension and slam it

if you have a na-t, 2jz gte, forced induced 1uz or any other swap and your car sees track time, drifting or any other endurance competition...go concave

Something with a damn nice lip is the way to go in my book
