    lip > concave.

    however, that being said, no one on here runs wide enough wheels to get a good amount of lip/concave. you need AT LEAST 9" wide wheels. even that wide typically is still pretty meh. shoot towards 10" wide and you're getting somewhere, but have fun making them fit the car nicely without going out of bounds with your tire selection and alignment to make them look okay on the car.

    yeah, I have seen a couple on searches but they just don't look right. I think they are off on their offset. I had 8 1/2 on my 01 with a 42 mm offset and it was perfect. I guess I need a 32mm or lower, I think to use the CTS-V brake set up. I love the lips with a mild concave but expensive as hell. I can get a nice set of 19 or 20x9.5 vossens as long as they have a good offset. I just want something different for my Comp G. Sick of the seein the same ol **** on these cars. Its also getting dropped with springtechs and KYB's.

    You need the width and offset to pull off either wheel

    if you want to try something different i have been hoping someone was willing to take a leap of faith and make a set of low offset 17x10s work, but they are going to take some goofing around to make perfect (fender work, not ideal tire size and alignment). they'd have a baller lip on them. you'd never fit them over CTSV brakes, though.

    They would look good but just not into stang rims on my GP. I am feelin some multispoke in my future.

    Here are a few of my choices so far. Not set in stone but curious what people think.

    1.

    2.

    3.


    4.

    Those are different for sure. Have yet to see these on a gp.

    rediculously awesome. (these are painted in the center, but either way...)




    big lips, yo. i also realize the scoob is a smaller car so 17s fit it more nicely, but i feel like a wbody could pull them off, too.

    The 2nd shot of that Scubi looks like a bad photoshop.... but the first is legit. I like them painted, just silver looks like a CNC made wheel and its bleh IMO... but with some paint that is pretty bad ass.



    I like these... alot. Do it. Be different.
