It appears we have semantic problems here.

"Dish in" could mean the concave part of the pan is pointing towards vehicle centerline, and it could mean the concave part of the pan is pointing outwards, if one is referring to it when assembled to the wheel.

I think either one could be viewed as equally correct.

So I'd go with "concave" or "convex" as installed, to describe it.

IMHO, "concave" is never the way to go for wheel aero.
