Which one do you prefer on a Beryllium gen1? (disregard the colors, as I will be going for either a matte black or brushed silver). Looking for an upgrade in the next couple of months to 22x10.5, which means I might be selling my Vossen VVS-082s.

Thanks guys...I was leaning towards the third one as well. I'm glad we all have good taste! :wink:.

Next question-- how much would you sell a set of 22x9 Vossen VVS-082s for? Still in damn good shape.

if i had to pick, id take the first one. i personally like concaved wheels with no lip/barrel w/e you call it

Do you have any recommendations on a no lip concave wheel similar to the ones above? Thx!
 
Rohanna makes a one piece wheel that's similar to the 3rd. Basically 10 spoke concave. But if you're looking at Savini, there is no sense in looking at Rohanna. Quality isn't anywhere near the same since Rohanna is made in China cast and Savini is custom. Forgestar also makes the CF10 which is a 10 spoke concave setup that's similar. But you're never going to get the level of detail on a 1 piece wheel that you get with 2 or 3. I personally love the way that on a custom wheel, the spokes come out and then go back to where they are bolted to the barrel. It's annoying to clean, but a great look.

If you don't want the lip, you can just have them make the wheel more concave. Very few wheels actually have concave and lip because it takes a very wide rim or very aggressive offset to pull it off. They love putting those sort of pics in their ads, but most customer wheels don't look like that. I have concave Forged1 3 piece wheels and the spokes actually wrap around the barrel. They're machined to follow the contour of the lip so that they extend all the way to the edge. Most custom 3 piece concave wheels will do this.

Bad picture, but you get the idea.

I would go with the first. I'm not a fan of the rims that are "open" , with lots of space to see the rotors and calipers. That's why I like the GT-R rims.
