It's called a reverse rolled wheel.... they also have the illusion of appearing one size larger than a standard wheel.

the valve stem is behind one of the spokes, so you cant really see it unless youre looking for it. The pictures dont even do these wheels justice, you should see them when the cars moving....priceless

Looks great. Do you happen to have any pics from directly in back of the car? I'm trying to see how far the wheels stick out of the rear wheel wells. I'm looking at some 10" wheels for my car, but don't want them to stick out because I'm afraid that my tires will rub the 1/4 panel when the suspension is fully compressed.

Also... what tire sizes are you using?

Here are some pics some of you wanted of the rear wheels and how the sit compared to the fender.

The viewing angle of this pic is as though you were an ant looking directly up the face of the wheel from the ground. You can see the flange on the fender....it's close!

Thanks for those pics! They definately stick out at least a half inch too far to work with my car, even if I roll the inner fender. My rear suspension is low enough that I need my tires to tuck so they don't rub over bumps.

Those wheels look absolutely killer though.
