I have the car, the coils and the camber kit, here are the wheels.
They still need to be polished and anodized gold...
Deep ones are mine, i've done the concave before, over it...

I'm not that crazy about concaves either. They are cool but not nearly as cool as a big shiny lip. Lips looks more sporty, exotic and muscular. I would do concave only as a distraction for a short period of time.
Plus, it's the latest fanboy fad and I hate being a follower.

They are Rotiform, they do a lot of wheels for mostly the euro guys but i love the old school look to them.
I had a Concave Mesh on my 997 that i just sold. Plus i agree it is a fad, i prefer a classic look...

Lips on wheels were sporty and exotic in the 1970s and 80s when Ferrari made cars like this:

But all of today's exotics have full face wheels because the full face design makes the wheels look bigger and the stance more aggressive.

I know you disagree with me but I think your view on the lips being sporty and exotic is as outdated as wearing a double breasted pinstripe to the office.

Although wheels with lips look good when done right, they still look a little out-dated compared to full face wheels

oem wheels have never been 2 or 3 piece with lips because its way cheaper to cast a one piece wheel for a production run....full face wheels will never have the $ look of a forged deep lip wheel

I'm probably old enough to be your father. All of these styles have come and gone over the years. Non-lipped wheels does make the spokes look bigger...because they are bigger. Not more aggressive by no means. Non-lipped wheels look softer in my opinion. I also believe they are cheaper to make and easier to maintain. It is that reason oems use them. Buying aftermarket wheels that look like oems is dumb imo. Why would I spend big bucks to look stock? Everytime I say it it sounds even more dumb. Lips look more custom. If they also look dated it's because they are. So is non-lipped. One is not more dated than the other. To say one is older than the other is unintelligent. You like what u like....I like what I like. If u want to look stock, more power to you. I prefer to look custom for my big bucks.
