Each of those differ GREATLY with offset choice. Take for example the 5zigens:

the 17x10 +35 will have a very flat face compared to the 17x10 +12

google them for yourself

it really depends of wheels, some wheels with lower offset will generate more concaveness, but just don't. just like some 2 or 3 pc. wheels will get fatter lip as the offset goes lower, some don't!!
the P45R for sure won't change the concaveness no matter what offset!

Sorry I meant the rims with no lips change with offset whereas the 3 peice designs usually do not(like the sp1's))

i'm not sure if you were directing that toward me, but i was agreeing with you.

btw: all the 17x10 fn01rc's have the same face.

I get a lot of questions about my wheels, pm's out the wazoo, and I don't know that I ever posted in this thread before and I don't feel like looking through 50 pages of it so here goes in the hopes that people who see my car get the answer they're looking for (of course I don't mind responding to pm's, but I don't always have the time to reply right away):

Work Meister s1 3pc

19x8.5 +36 235/35/19 (maybe be 235/30, this pic has 225/30 and they were too small for my taste)
19x9.5+29 265/30/19 (255/30 in this pic, same problem, since bumping up a size I rub where the bumper/fender meet, and I've had the back rolled)

I don't know if I count as "hella flush" but I've decided, I'd rather be "hella tucked" instead any way as evidenced by my future drop in the 2nd pic. (full pics to come after Sema) Props to other folks in this thread, it's my 2nd fave next to the JDm picture one.
