there's no point in super deep concave if you can't run it in front

like a ferrari that only goes fast in reverse

SDC fitment varies depending on the vehicle application.
The 370Z sport brakes stick out a lot (past the mounting point of the wheel)
So it is physically impossible for the wheel to clear the brakes and fit inside the fenders due the the size of the Akebonos. The wheel would hit the brakes.
Some cars like BMWs have very recessed brake calipers and can fit SDC all around.

Staggered concavity is pretty standard on staggered cars, just like the OEM Z wheels are more concave in the rear. Its not an issue for most people.

Forgestar offers a 1 year finish warranty on all the wheels, but it doesnt cover road hazard or rock chips. If you got the wheels form us, let me know and I can work up some special pricing for you on a refinish to help you out!

They were purchased through ModBargains.

I ended up getting the one that was out of round fixed locally on a lathe since it would've cost me more to send it back to the States, however I'm now trying to figure out if I have a rear wheel or tire out of round (Michelin PSS) because I have a shake from the rear around 80 and I've had the wheel/tire balanced multiple times and it just changes the speed at where the shake happens.

I'll admit they DO look great on the car and I get compliments all day long with them, but I won't be purchasing anything from Forgestar again.

Its uncommon for Forgestars to be out of round brand, but not impossible. We check our wheels for roundness before shipping them out, so we're usually able to catch these issues before they go out (especially overseas!). But not sure about MB's process. Let me know if you needed help with a replacement wheel
Sorry about the issue, but its definitely not common.
