Seriously pics or it didn't happen.

Its a trick of the light on our eyes! Replay the above video and watch how the angle makes it look dished out. Then go back and look at all the promo pics of GTUs for sale on ebay, or look at a magazine ad and notice that they all look that way. Its just light playing a DIRTY TRICK!

I don't deny the possibility that *A* set *COULD* have existed at some point, but 99.99999% of all GTU rims slightly dish OUT, not IN.

Which is why I need to find someone with a 3D printer and a large chunk of plastic...

When they are saying dished they don't mean the offset look of the face to the lip, they really mean that the center of the rim face is lower than the edge of the rim face, not including the lip, so the flat surface you see isn't really flat but dished in... Like a wok... Hence my stir fry comment... :)
