Default DriverzInc: 2 New 3pc NewGen wheels! Concave.....

Thought I'd show you some new wheels NewGen just finished.

We're using a new forging that allows us to give the wheel a CONCAVE profile. If you are not familiar with the term, notice how the spokes curve outboard, not inboard, and give the center the appearance of a "bowl". We're even able to do "deep" concave for rear wheel fitments. These are both shown in standard concave.

In some cases, it is possible to put concave wheels on the front, and deep concave on the rear if the offsets and the wheel width permits. For more fitment information, feel free to call us!

Key features:
  • 6061-T6 Forged Aluminum
  • 3 piece construction
  • 18" through 24" diameter
  • Soft lip only
  • Custom bolt pattern
  • Custom offsets
  • Custom finishes, including chrome
  • Custom caliper clearances
  • Aluminum caps
  • Hidden hardware, or exposes hardware options on every design
This one is called the "Spyder", shown in matte black center with chrome outer, and hidden hardware:




This one is called the Descendant, shown in gun metal center with chrome outer, and exposed hardware:

Simple idea and one of the major things I've always liked about BMW's. Until the new models. Great idea. I'm liking both wheels.

I really need to stop looking at these kinds of post. Too many ideas.

Jon, is that the most concave angle that can be done? What is the widest outer lip on a 20" you can do? BTW, these wheels look great, simple and yet bad ass!

We can go more!
For narrowed rears and mini tub applications, we can go "Deep Concave".

In a 20" the widest outer lip we've done is a 6" (measures 7" overall).

Why, what's up?
