I'm looking to purchase a set of aftermarket wheels soon and was wondering if anyone had any ideas or pics to share? I couldn't find a pic/thread link and google didn't help too much. I'm looking to stay with a 20" setup and am open to finish/color

Try these....This is the generic design photo but if you go to Tirerack.com they have a section where you can pick a vehicle and color and get a idea of how it would look on the vehicle Avarus Av9 I got this set for my 13 SEL. I got the 19" but I believe this pattern comes in 20" Also try Touren TR 60 I believe they come in silver, gun metal or totally black.

First starting point would be tirerack.com they can filter by size, even recommend a tire/wheel combination.

I've seen people put on TSW (Nurburgring, Interlago etc), Forgestar and Vossen wheels for primetime (any 18" that fits, for wintertime).

I actually had my eye on Forgestar CF5's but they would have to custom make a set for the bolt pattern so maybe Vossens. I was just hoping someone had a set and with pics so I could get an idea on the offset

Im dying to find a set of gloss black! I hate the "matte," black because they can look like just old, dirty metal rims / spare wheels! I mean pure gloss black - none of this machined face or color combos AND a nice 5 or 6 spoke pattern, nothing crazy. Haven't found anything yet. There's some cool Niche wheels, but no gloss black. :-(

I agree..... the Matte Gun Metal finish of the TSW Nurburgring's on my SHO never sat well with me.

They constantly looked dingy, dirty, and just an after thought for the most part.

As depicted below:

MKER9 zpsbacd8e67

MKER105 zps077c2180

So off they came, and BAM! On goes the high gloss black powder coating:

Then back onto the car accordingly:

Hold on.... OK, wait...ummm what were we discussing?? Nice pics!! I thought you were being sarcastic at 1st. Actually those wheels in both colors look good on your car - just wonder about my silver car... I think gloss black would look best. I saw a new corvette yesterday driving towards me - car was yellow and the rims were gloss black - the sun hitting them as he drove were brilliant, very shiny and the yellow shiny paint on the car with tinted windows look amazing!

I just got a 2015 SHO PP with the stock 20 inch rims and am looking to replace them with TSW's, do you think it's better to get all 4 of the same rims or the staggered setup?

Thank you

Just to confirm, what's the size front and back? Maybe even if you have a part number? I'm very serious about getting a set and getting them powder coated black. I've been following you on YouTube and the forums for about a year... Now I'm ready to start building. Also your tires sizes would also be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!,
David.

I just did a little research and discount tire shows this size for my 2014: 20 X8.5 5-114.30 40 DGMTXX

Does that look correct? They have them at 352.00 each?

Thanks again,
David.

Looks right. bpd is using a staggered setup, so 20x8.5 Front, 20x10 Rear, both at a 40 mm offset.
