Damn, Carlos... those are NIZE! :thumbsup: As shiny as the "cherry ones". Just got a build date of next Tuesday. So I'll be waiting on my 19x10 square setup I ordered from Paul too! (Hint, Hint)

That is all...

wait, im a little confused. :confused:

Why are the 19x10 fronts not as concave as the backs?

For example, look at the mrr gf9 (the wheels that the fs01 are based off of), [MENTION=15394]socalsnake[/MENTION] is running 19x9.5 all around, and he has that concave face. Is this because of offset??

I understand that they are staggered, but if the 19x9.5 gf9 are concave, why wouldn't the 19x10 fs01 fronts be just as concave, if not more?
Ha...that's my car!

I was wondering the same thing about the FS01s.

To be honest, when I was looking at online pics the GF9s before I purchased them, they did not look very concave to me at all. I don't think pictures do either the GF9 nor the FS01 any concave justice.

Now when I dropped by Need 4 Speed's office and looked at a sample of the GF9, I was shocked at how concave they looked in real life.

Now, I haven't seen the FS01s in the flesh so I cannot speak to its concavity, but I'm willing to bet that the limited pictures online are not showing the true concavity of the FS01s.

If Need 4 Speed has sample FS01s, I can go look at them in the flesh and maybe take some photos versus my GF6s....or maybe they can just put them side by side. One of my offices is not far from them and its a very short drive to their shop.

Even the picture you posted of my car doesn't do the front wheels justice. They are as concave as the rear but don't appear so because the I'm running OEM 255s up front vs the OEM 275s in the rear. Incresed tire width can diminish OR exaggerate concavity.

Yes please check them out and get some pics!

You can obviously tell how the spoke design on the 19x10 fs01 goes straight down flat, then concaves in by the lug holes, vs yours where it is a continuous concave from the edge of the rim down to the center!

check the red lines

After looking at the FS01s again, could it be that the rears are just so concave that they make the fronts look almost flat? Kind of like looking at the really heavy set girl standing next to her fat friend and her fat friend just looks relatively thinner?

I'll try to PM Paul [MENTION=8302]NEED4SPEED[/MENTION] and see if he has any samples. If he does, I'll ask him if I could get some side by side GF9 vs FS01 shots.

Feel free to reach out to him as well as he might just take the comparison pics himself!

Awesome awesome. I know for a fact they have a GF9 sample hanging on the wall. If you can, ask them if you can take pics of it right next to the FS01 samples to compare concavity at different angles!!!

I'm sure this entire forum will be grateful!
