Your rims do look good and even if someone said otherwise it doesn't make a difference. Everyone has their own taste and that's a good thing. Some people are just sensitive people I guess. Just funny when it's someone who shouldn't be in the conversation to begin with. Bang up job Zkdreads!

LOL at no one posting pics you asked for and just posting pictures of their cars.

Here you go. 18x10 deep concave Forgestar F14 w/ 285/40 Goodyear Eagle F1 Super cars front and rear.

SUX how did you get Deep Concave in the 10's? I thought it had to be 10.5? Maybe I am just thinking about the 20's.

it depends on if the rim was designed for concavity(if thats a word lol) usually you cant even tell a rim has a concave unless its 10s or higher. theres not enough room in a 9 or 9.5 to even engineer that and get the look of concave rim

What made you go with that set up? Do you think that a set up that is the same all around has better performance?

A square wheel and tire setup is hands down the best 5th Gen setup. We have been running that on ZETA platforms going back to 2007. Bruce Raymond's Camaro and the L/28 both run square wheel and tire setups and are the fastest street legal 5th Gens we have seen at road course and auto-crosses across the country.

There was no real overriding reason except that I wanted the deep f14's and a balanced set up seemed to make more sense to me than 10.5 on the rear of a v6. I'd say the performance is better compared to the 20x8/20x9 RS set up, which is what I switched from, but certainly not earth shaking or anything.
