Default Deep concave, ZERO lip rims for my GTO???

Hey guys. Right now im looking at a red on red GTO. If the deal goes through, first thing i want are some rims and springs. It will be my DD so nothing crazy. I am usually all about deep dish rims, but want something different. I want a nice lace/mesh style wheel with a staggard fitment. But rather than a larger lip, i want the back rims to have a deeper concave, meaning the laces curve inward. Anyone have any suggestions? I want black with a red pinstripe but any finish will do, i will custom paint them. Im having a hard time finding the style i want, at aprice i can afford. Some examples include VOLKS Progressiv ME, BBS CH (which are my current choice except for the $ and i do want a more dramatic concave)http://media.photobucket.com/image/B...5/bbsCH012.jpg, or the Mrr HR6 but they dont have nearly enough concave. Let me know what you can think of!

360Forged makes some nice rims but probably too expensive and I have heard alot of complaints about orders never being shipped out etc. But I also heard that was under old management.

Yea those look killer but im not wanting to spend more than $1,000. I thought i saw a post a while back about new wheels at a sponsor and they had a decent set but i cant remember and i cant find it through search.

I'm with you I love the concave wheels, hard to find lots of options for domestics. If you do find some, the wider you go and the lower the offset, will give you more concavity(if that's a word lol)

If you look at msrp for the wheels above they start at $2195.00 PER WHEEL!!!! Almost 9 grand for wheels. I need to try that.

I like the look too, but I don't think you are going to find too many wheels that fit your criteria. Those 360s are nice, but also $2k+ a wheel. That is ridiculous.

Go to JHP's website (sponsor on ls1gto.com) and look at the WIDE selection of actual Holden (makers of the Pontiac GTO aka Monaro) and HSV factory wheels that they'll sell and ship to US buyers.

I checked they're site already, thanks for the suggestion! Did you know that if you go to Australia's ebay you can find repros of the popular HSV styles for under $1,000?
