your honest (critical) opinions needed ...
Being in Socal the LIP, LIP, LIP mentallity has been around for awhile. As with all trends, do you guys think that this will eventually fade ? Though I know that people will still rock mad-lipage on the GS (can you say VIP) Do you think that this wheel, with its concave face, will ever take off ? Im sticking my neck out here to get clowned by some, and hopefully praised by others. Dont hold anything back ... Ive already been told that they look like "Daisy's", or like dishes. Once again, be honest, Im ready for it .... I think ??? Thanks in advance for your honest opinions.

Pic isnt there for me but I think you are talking about the Koncave. I like it but would rather have a nice lip. That style kind of has the Lambo wheel look on the Diablos.

Not for me, personally. Although I prefer lips since they tend to be on multi-piece wheels (which I also prefer), I don' t have a problem with ones that don't have lips. It all depends on the style and objective of the buyer.
Style-wise, this wheel is more in the dislike than like. I don't hate it. Function-wise, I have a BBK so concave faces will reduce (not eliminate) the possibility of larger calipers.
Ultimately, don't get it just to buck the trend. Get it if you like it and if you like it, that's all that matters.

I saw the Koncave on John's car over the weekend. The car looks even better in person, and you can actually see that the rear wheels have a more Concave or 'dished' look than the fronts.
I like this look, it makes the wheels appear larger than they really are. Definitely has a VIP look to it, always liked the concave style since I first noticed this look on the OE 19" wheel on the current body style BMW 745i (when it was introduced a few years ago).
My only criticism would be: if they are really meant to be "VIP" or "Executive" style wheels, the wheel widths and offsets could be more aggressive. Many of these guys stretch the tires a bit which helps fender clearance. I would run that 20x9.5 +38 on the front and use a 20x10.5 or 20x11 on the rear if it was available. This would also work on the Big Body Infiniti cars...
Also, 21x9.0 or 21x9.5 & 21x10.5 or 21x11 would be cool sizes.
