Nothing with a +45 on an 8.5 wheel is going to be very concave. The math says so. I appreciate the concave look as well, but I refuse to put wheels\tires that are way wider than this car will ever need in order to achieve it.

That’s one of the struggle point. 215 on 8.5 can save ~4lb on each corner which 245 on 9.5 far less than that.
Advan C-2 could be very similar angle as 9.5 TEs.
I just need a real picture to persuade me pull the trigger.

I'm going with 9.5 TEs for concavity, the GT Beyond was my second choice, because even with Face 1 it still has the appearance of being more concave.

Thanks for the reply, any idea which one has more concavity?

I have not seen either of them in person up close, but at the same width, I would guess that the Advans have more concavity than TE37SL because of the design. Availability of my preferred finish was the biggest factor for my selection.

That’s what I hope. I will go with c-2 Advan and update pictures when I receive them.

Finally, I found of rim pictures from Japanese website.
Face 2 18x8.5

I don’t think beyond has blue, only gt premium.
Yesterday I spent whole night using Google translate to get the pics.

Bad news, beyond was canceled due to lead time at least 8 months.
Good news, bought old version GT 18x9.5 +40. Hopefully can arrive in 2 weeks.

Did you get the wheels? I am thinking about getting these wheels or gt.

My ordered was canceled due to lack of stock. Instead, I got Advan rsdf. You can check my other post.
