Ok I forgot I could get also some custom colours, so I am going to get these babies in Diamond Black.

I only have one more issue, I am trying to understand the difference in the look of the wheel (lip width and concavity of the spoke) between 10.5 +12 and 11 +15. I ask this because going from 10.5 +22 to +12, the difference is a gain the in the lip size. I'm wondering if choosing the 11 +15, is a gain in concavity of the spokes and not the lip?

Thanks in advance!

This is pretty late, but to answer your question:

Both 10.5 +22 and 11 +15 are Face-4, so the concavity should be the same

The difference between 10.5 +22 and +12 is the center of the wheel. the size chart shows that +22 is the "S" center and the +12 is the "L" center.

"S" center is more shallow than the "L" center. The difference is about 7mm, from what i've read (lurking on the GTR forums where everyone has ultras in 20 inch)


Summary:
All Face-4 wheels are theoretically the same concavity of spokes
L-center is 7mm deeper than S-center, so your lug nuts will poke out by a bit more
Refer to size chart on Rays website for which size/offset has which Face and which Center

Most wheels this will affect brake clearance, but IIRC Te37's basically clear everything, at least at the sizes we're talking about

I will be getting ultras, just throwing ideas around on what sizes in my head and scouring every thread i can find for examples

someone tell me whether staggered, F 19x10.5 +12 and R 20x11 +0 would look odd. Nismo 350z runs 18/19 stagger. Corvettes run 19/20 stagger. Face-4 and L-Center all around, slightly cheaper and slightly easier fitment than 20x11 +15 in front.

Correct. I remember going through multiple threads in the 350Z forum before purchasing TE37s, and you're right, the concavity on the 19x10.5 +22 and 19x10.5 +12 are exactly the same.
