Concave Wheel Options?
Anyone have an idea as to where to find concave wheels for our cars? I would like to do 18x10.5 and I am having a hard time finding wheels that are concave. I read something about the high offset making it hard to have concave wheels; is this true?
Any help is appreciated!
Edit: Looks like Forgestar are the right price and very much what I'm looking for but it seems there is no 18x10.5 but I've read 18x11 will still fit in the front?
Edit: Curious as to what people do to protect fenders and doors when running new wheels? Will 18x11 be flinging rocks into my doors and skirts?

I was also looking at Cray but then I would have to get the 19 since the 18 isn't nearly wide enough

Now I gotta figure out if 18x11 will fit up front. And hopefully I can do a trial to see if my nannies are sensitive to a sq. set up.

I have 245/40/18 fronts with 305/30/19 rears and it doesn't look out of proportion or odd. I believe the 245/40 even has a few mm more sidewall than the 275/35.

I'm sure someone's running 18x11 all the way around that can put up some photos. I do like how the CF10s look more concave because they go immediately in rather than curve into the hub. But I don't know if I want to do a 19inch wheel...

I'm running Sport Muscle GS wheels with the C6 Z06 offsets. 19x10's with a set of 275 30 19's up front and 20x12's with 345 25 20's with 20mm adapters out back. They have a deeper concave than the factory GS wheels.

Looks like the CF10's offer more offset options than the F14's but the con is it doesn't come in an 18. I'm assuming that (like many concave options) a certain face fits a multitude of sizes. I.E an 18x10 will have the same concave as 18x11?
I'm still looking for conformation if the 18x11 55mm will fit up front.

Thoughts on appearance are obviously based solely on personal opinion. However, having a taller sidewall in front than in the rear looks absolutely ridiculous to me. Especially considering the car is RWD.
