Concave faces make the whole wheel seem deeper, but the convex wheel faces I am using will allow for a deeper lip. :-P

I haven't called BHR myself, but here's a post they made on VW Vortex a few months ago which has some pricing and product info.

Not sure about the prices, but probably not as cheap as Wheels of Steel.

Just another option....

woa woa woa....i like i like

I like them too. Especially how the wheel face is concave, it really enhaance the dished look. I never called to get a price quote, but if you do let us know!

700 for 15's?.....i like but ____ 200 can go to tires

I ordered the tires today.

Falken Ziex Ze 512 in 195/55R15 for the stretch effect.

Here is a pic of the tread......

I'm using the Ziex 512s, too and I love 'em. I had them on my Prelude in a 17", too.
