The pics of have seen were a little disappointing. The "concave" wasn't enough for the wheel.
Could you post those pics. I'ven't had any luck finding any...

Precisely! Due to the offset on the Viper, they aren't very concave like all the other photos you see of those wheels on other cars.

These are another set of ADV.1...agreed, they look terrible. They are almost 100% flat, but not in a good, one piece Monobloc kind of way

The style...here are a set of Concave's from 360 Forged. See how the spokes turn out and meet the outside of the rim, instead of bending in and creating a lip?

Ha...maybe so. I'm pretty sure the bad pics on the Viper will speak for themselves

That is the SRT I was thinking of. Love the look of the car, but not the wheels. The factory SRT 5 spokes are more concave then those.

Word on the street is that Andy loves him some ADV wheels.

What wheels are you trying to get out on a Gen 2 Andy? Are we talking roughly the same amount as when we spoke before?
In all seriousness, if I were in the market for wheels, I would ping Andy. 360 was hit hard by Jordan, the person who started the company I have been ribbing him over above. I love the ADV line, but, history always repeats itself, especially in business, and I would rather put money in Andy's hands and have him deliver on the wheels of your liking.
Some things to consider on what I call the cut in concave wheels; you are dealing with a lot of material and a lot of weight, and generally a lot of expense. The first company to flow form or forge a lightweight wheel without a stupidly heavy pad is going to win. There is no reason why a rear on a GTS can't have close to Murci concavity.
Having said that, post some damn pictures already Andy.
LMAO and I thought we were headed for divorce lol.
Companies always looking to lighten their products and there have been some creative approaches but the style v. function descision always rears it's head. We can cut pockets in the rear of the spokes to reduce weight, and going with a smaller spoke style helps as well.

I agree rear of the GTS should have substantial angles like the Murci.
To be honest I am surprised the concaves have not done better across the board. Monoblocks sell better, and will probably stay popular for awhile, but the concaves are very unique.
