While I agree the wheels aren't what I vision deep concave wheels to look like (fairly difficult with the Camaro's offset, as I understand), they are noticeably more concave than their semi concave counterpart.

Exactly. Forgestar lists them as semi-concave and deep concave. I'll take a photo of both of these side by side, the rears are indeed nice and deep looking. Honestly, there isn't much room for a deep concave spoke face with the Camaro, the high positive offset and the huge Brembo calipers don't leave as much room to work with, as with other cars like the Viper, Z06, 7-series, etc...
Personally, I'm not a huge fan of the concave multi-piece forged wheels on the market. They definitely look great, but also weigh quite a bit more than their flat-faced counterparts. Those concave forgings require thicker spokes, thicker bolting flanges, etc... to handle the same loads as a flat forged center. Those of you shopping with performance in mind, think about that when browsing. Concave monoblock forged wheels are still pretty light, however.
