Default Brixton Forged R10 3 piece rims 20x10, 20x12

I just got these in the mail today and do not like the look! They actually are nothing like what I was expecting so I will be honest about selling these as I feel I was mislead. First, they are a nice rim. I had the lips polished and the centers painted a matte black. I will tell you the ad I saw for these said the were super concave, they are NOT! The rear has a slight concave to it and the front is about as flat as a pancake!!! I'm looking to get what I have into them which is $5000 shipped! Never had tires mounted and still have the plastic on the lips.

I think they owe you a refund. Those wheels look nothing like the pics they posted. Still a good looking wheel but not what was advertised.

To be completely honest, these are the rims that were pictured FOR SALE in their listing! The issue I'm having is with how they described them as "deep concave" and the picture of the C7 Z06 they had in their ad displaying how these "should" look on a C7 Z06 with only the fronts but they too looked concave but were also a steplip. I'm almost positive that's how everyone else that came across their ad thought these were represented, if not, I'd love to hear your opinion! The rendering that was sent to me with the color combo I chose also displayed these on a C7Z. In all fairness, I do understand that the ones in their ad and in the rendering they sent me are a Step Lip but that should not change the concaveness of the rim. And if it does then I believe they should not have used the Step Lip version as a display on a car if that is not the look you are going to get.

I like the look of the rendering better since it has the step lip. The wheels you received are really good looking wheels too and would love them on my Z. The rears are pretty concave and the fronts appear to be a little concave. I'd vote to enjoy them, but only if you can get over the fact.

I like the rims too but trust me, they're in my possession and I can assure you the front has next to zero concaveness and the rears have minimal at best! How concave the rears are is how the fronts should of been! There's sooooo much room between the caliper and spoke it isn't even funny!

Did you contact Brixton Forged about returning the wheels? They hardly look concave to me.

Brixton and Momentum Worx, who I bought them through, are making it right. These will be for sale, just not by me! However I did find out that these were made for a big brake or Z07 package Z06. Bottom line is Brixton stepped up to the plate and so did Momentum Worx, I have to pay a little more but I'm getting the custom wheels I thought I was gonna get.

It is the lip that is off. The picture is a stepped lip. It also looks photoshopped, So you may not ever get a wheel that has that big of lip and major concavity, with the width and offsets we work with on the Z. Glad they made it right, can't wait to see the finished product.
