Convexed Wheel - maybe I'm wrong in trying to explain what I saw on a concept car, but I will do my best to put this to English because I can't find a good picture.
I once saw a wheel where the "hub" and the outer "perimeter" of the wheel were in the same plane - but the "spoke" portion of the wheel protruded out gently away from the car, and bowed back toward the car to meet the wheel. In my ghetto picture below, the parenthesis ")" would be the spoke, in what I was calling a convexed wheel.

Anyways I'm done thread jacking lol - The OP's wheels are very nice, apologies for being a thread-jacker. I always thought this "convexed" design looked cool, and would give extra clearance of the brakes as the wheel spun around.
