There are two types of custom wheels-concave and convex. The lines of a concave wheel curve inward, whereas a convex wheel has lines that curve outward. 

When many car owners think about replacing their wheels, the first question that comes to their mind is if they can use both convex and concave wheels? The answer to this question is a resounding yes. You can get convex wheels for the front and concave wheels for the rear of your car. 

While your convex wheels on the front will assist steering, the concave wheels on the rear will accommodate additional upgrades such as larger brake calipers. Some manufacturers offer concave wheels (for rear) specially designed to accommodate larger tires and convex wheels for the front especially designed to allow for performance upgrades such as larger brakes. 

The spokes of the concave wheel are curved towards the hub center. When fitted, the curved spokes arc towards the suspension, enhancing the aesthetics of the vehicle. Concave wheels offer several benefits. They are known for their superior strength. Their high degree of strength can be attributed to the forging process they go through and the high-quality materials used. 

Unlike traditional rims that bend and crack easily, concave rims can withstand extreme heat and stress. They do not crack easily and are more durable than traditional wheels. 

Concave wheels showcase a three-dimensional face. The spokes of a concave wheel protrude outwards towards the peripheral circumference. This formation results in a stylish and muscular look. 

Concave wheels have upfront costs significantly higher than many traditional wheels. You will, however, save more in the long run as concave wheels are easy to maintain and inexpensive to repair.

Convex wheels can go off-roading. Look for 17"-20" wheels. The main benefit of a 17"-20" inch wheel is that whatever the lift, the driver gets plenty of room to maneuver. Machine finished, outward curving spokes, and a large center disc of a convex wheel goes well with just about any trim or paint color.
