Default 21x10" RZ10 BC Forged Wheels et24 summer shoes installed

Got my new wheels delivered this week (about 5 weeks with shipping time). They are a 21x10 et24 in a Brushed Clear Finish. The Rear wheels have a deeper concave than the front. It is in Show Mode with the CETE Controller. (Picture are not accurately showing the color)

dude those look so sweet...im actually thinking about the vs01 forged wheels and these look so similar to those...how are you liking the offset? any rubbing? flush or is there a little poke? and last you like the concave look or the flatter look? because i plan on going the same look all the way around.

I like the offset, it is pretty flush with the fender and no rubbing when lowered. If you were to run a bit wider tire like 275 or 285 you might get some rubbing issues if you go low. You could go from a et24 to a et30 or so for a bit more room on the fender side.
I doubt you can get the concave profile I have on the rear for the front. It wouldn't clear the brake caliper in the front most likely. When I ordered the wheels, I told them I wanted the largest concave possible on the rear and a flatter profile for the front wheels (might have been able to get a little more concave). I received the proposed spoke profiles that would work and it was to my liking, so I had them cut. 5 weeks from order to doorstep.

i ask about the concavity as i was leaning more towards the flatter face profile on all corners... so if you had to pick one would you go with the deep concavity or flat ? I'm planning on going 275 on a 20x10 et27 wheel...w in your opinion is your wheel perfectly flush or would you change something if you could do it over again ?

I like them both, and I like that they are different. Sort of the point. You won't be able to go that deep if you want all 4 corners to be the same, you would be relegated to the front concavity profile for the rears.
Similar to doing a small lip and (being able to have a) bigger lip on a rear wheel. (regardless of concavity).
I think a et27 with 275s would be good. Get a little extra tire room. I could probably go 275s, but the 265s fit with no issues so far and wheels/tires never protrude past the fenders.

ive looked into a few wheels and i can get a deep concave wheel on the front but depends on offset...i think ill probably just go with the less concave wheel all the way around...i do like that front wheel you have. do you think if you had 5mm less offset the wheels would look too tucked in and not flush?

these are the wheels that im trying to go with vs01 by vs forged.



how do you like that brushed metal look? i really wanted to go with a hyper silver color to get the contrast but i dont think vsforged offers that color so i may go with the brushed titanium color which is slightly darker.

I like the brushed clear look. I don't like dark wheels to begin with, but I wanted something a little different than just silver. I came up with an et24 by using what Vossen says fits well which is 10.5 et 30. If you bump it down to a 10" wide the et becomes 24. I believe on the 10.5 wide you can run a 285. So it's up to you if you want to run a 265 possibly 275 on et 24 or if you did et30 on 10" wide you could fit a variety of sizes.
