If you're a fan of concave wheels then you'll love this 997 Turbo droptop

with Satin Dark Tinted Brush outers.

I love concave wheels. Not crazy about those wheels though (since you asked...).

Optional gloss caps, customer preferred them.

Hey that's what discussion is about! What style do you prefer? Or what about these do you not like?

I don't like concave wheels, I absolutely LOVE them. I prefer 1-piece monobloc construction though for the lightest weight, strongest wheel, and no chance of air leaks. Also, can't imaginge trying to clean that tiny space at the end of each spoke where it turns back and is parallel to the barrel though.

These are actually very nice looking wheels though. Are they forged, rotary forged, or low pressure cast? If forged, are the forgings US made or from offshore?

I like them, but not when it's a forced design element as shown here. The spokes don't appear to actually support the wheel at the edge, but rather in the middle of the barrel. So for me I wouldn't go this route. I'm with Petza on the one-piece concave though.

Not crazy about the way the dark colored spokes transition to the light colored barrels. Even with the coloring aside, the spokes look like they might break at that point (I'm sure they won't...). I might like them better all one color.

Just my opinion but I've never really been a fan of black wheels. Now that you can buy black wheels with your new car off the showroom floor it's sorta "jumped the shark" as they say.
