The concave angle on the front wheels is shallower than on the rears, on this application that is the way our designers wanted it. Similar to many one piece racing applications, I suppose.
On some applications the spokes are even with the lip on the front wheels, and on some the rear lip will come out about 10mm more....but not on a stock body Z06. It has been super popular the way it is.
It is possible to order 4 center discs the same as the front wheels for cars like a base C6. I think we are about to do 2 Audi R8's like this. The more shallow concave is still concave however... you can really notice it next to our very popular Mesh8. Everyone has their own ideas of style, our track record on the designs is pretty good and this Concave series is doing very well.

While it does look great at first glance, and no doubt it will be a looker, it could be improved on immensely. Props for not being the biggest idiot and having polished or chrome centrecaps on a black wheel. I'd suggest titanium or at least silver lugs instead of chrome but that's just me.
I have to agree with others that there are issues with this setup. the tire profile is not a good choice. the rear is stretched on and gives it a meaner lower profile while the front just looks... normal. The concave on the back looks sweet. Personally I think if both wheels had the same concave angle it would look incredible on a zo6. The front doesn't look like it has much and the spokes (like someone mentioned above) doesnt come out to the edges and gives the appearance of 2 different rims on the car. Other minor gripes include blacking out tail lights. Comon guys you would never see a ferarri or lambo owner do this would you? well maybe a rapper but not many else. SHarp red lenses would give a nice contrast to the back bumper and help make the car look 'exotic instead of having a ricer mod. personally I dont want ANY mods on my car that Honda civic owners do on their cars.
Looks great but good effort.

Thanks for your kind reviews. The people in the businesses around our airport area buildings seemed to like it the best of the recent photo shoots. We have done a Viper, Ferrari 599, Murcielago LP640, and CTS-V recently.

I just want to thank everyone on your feedback. This is actually my vette. I have been a member for almost a few years now. I am thinking of putting a cam in it but am worried of going into the motor. Feel free to leave me messages for any car meets or shows coming up.
Thanks

Nothing to be scared of, you have to have some GO to back up that SHOW. Oh yeah, get a hold of Shawn @ Ragin' Racin'. Their cam packages are sweet, and a great value. Lots of people running Lethals on this forum.
