Hey I found a few pictures of the face 2 wheel, but it is 19x8.5. So same width but different height. They do look more concave than the standard wheel.

Oh sweet baby jesus, that looks really good. What color is that, and how do I order it?

Thanks, that makes sense. I'm not exactly giving up on these wheels, the two things keeping me looking at other options is the price and the color. I feel like the graphite is too dark for WRB and sunlight silver is too bright.

There should be this dark bluish color, I am not sure what it is called. People have it but it looks really nice. I am not quite sure how to order it though, as it isn't on the website(either that or I can't find it).

That's the winning blue color, I think it looks pretty cool on other colors just not on WRB. I would really like a titanium brush finish, similar to our oem wheels. I wonder if it is possible to get that done to the gramlights, because i know forgestar f14 offers their wheels in that finish.

That's matte black.. I love the blue velvet one.. I would've bought the blue velvet one if it had come earlier.

I bought it online. I forget the name of the store, but im pretty sure it's in California. I think u can get it from evasive motorsport.

I just hope the spokes don't stick out the face of the wheel like they do in some rotas. Hate that. :thumbdown:

Looking at those pictures, they do stick out a bit, but not by much. It's really subtle. It's really the only way you're going to get concave face on an 8.5 wheel with +42. Once you start dipping lower you'll get spokes going in.

Makes me miss my AE86. I could sport 14x7 0 offset and have a nice lip. I could go negative and get even more. Most cars now need fender work for those numbers. :(

Any updates on this? Any of you order the 18x8.5 Face 2? I'm saving up for wheels and I love these but I'd hate to have it look flat on the fronts. And if the concave looks good enough, I might even ditch the 18x9.5 and just do 18x8.5 Face 2 all around so I don't get understeer.

I think one person ordered the Face 2s. I really wanted to see pics as well. I know Rays makes these wheels in 17x9 which would give that concave look, shave a few pounds off of the weight and not change the gearing either.

I am waiting also to see the face 2 18 x 8.5. waiting waiting….

I have the same rim and tire size before i changed to 235/40R18. My concern is the lip of the rim poking out. Dont you have the same issue? I plan to change my tires again for the 3rd time with 245/35R18. Will this solve my problem? Will there be any rubbing?
