The pics of have seen were a little disappointing. The "concave" wasn't enough for the wheel.

These are another set of ADV.1...agreed, they look terrible. They are almost 100% flat, but not in a good, one piece Monobloc kind of way :lmao:

What are 'concave wheels, the brand or the style?

The style...here are a set of Concave's from 360 Forged. See how the spokes turn out and meet the outside of the rim, instead of bending in and creating a lip?

That is the SRT I was thinking of. Love the look of the car, but not the wheels. The factory SRT 5 spokes are more concave then those.

These would look great on a GTS, don't you think Andy?

I think this wheel on an SRT or GTS would be bad to the bone.

I love the exhaust tips on this car. They would look cool popping out the back of a slammed GTS.

What wheels are you trying to get out on a Gen 2 Andy? Are we talking roughly the same amount as when we spoke before?

Trying to get a set of 360 Forged Concaves on a Gen 2 Viper.

Shoot me a pm and refresh my memory.

In all seriousness, if I were in the market for wheels, I would ping Andy. 360 was hit hard by Jordan, the person who started the company I have been ribbing him over above. I love the ADV line, but, history always repeats itself, especially in business, and I would rather put money in Andy's hands and have him deliver on the wheels of your liking.

Some things to consider on what I call the cut in concave wheels; you are dealing with a lot of material and a lot of weight, and generally a lot of expense. The first company to flow form or forge a lightweight wheel without a stupidly heavy pad is going to win. There is no reason why a rear on a GTS can't have close to Murci concavity.

Having said that, post some damn pictures already Andy.:D

LMAO and I thought we were headed for divorce lol.

Companies always looking to lighten their products and there have been some creative approaches but the style v. function descision always rears it's head. We can cut pockets in the rear of the spokes to reduce weight, and going with a smaller spoke style helps as well.

I agree rear of the GTS should have substantial angles like the Murci.

To be honest I am surprised the concaves have not done better across the board. Monoblocks sell better, and will probably stay popular for awhile, but the concaves are very unique.
