I voted for the no concave only because I love the mesh 8 & mesh 10's so much. The new concave wheels look very good also. You won't go wrong either way

I love the 360 concave wheels. Deep dish look nice but EVERYONE has them now. Be unique...

On deep dish, the difference in rim width front to rear doesnt make much visual difference. On concaves, the difference in angle is quite noticable. That may be perfectly fine for your taste, but it is a clear difference between the two approaches to very wide wheels.

I vote for the concave design. Wheels with a 3-dimensional look are really sharp. Look at the Murcielago wheels....Lamborghini has always done a fantastic job of designing concave wheels and to me they look much better than the deep dish wheels. Deep dish wheels have been ruined by 7-series BMW's with 7 inch lips.

i have deep dish right now also. But the new trend seems to be concave, but it hasn't quite become mainstream yet.

So if you want to be cutting edge go concave, if you want to go with the tried and true look that you know works, go deep dish.

But deep dish can be overdone.....well, okay - not easily
