I like the look of the wheel, maybe a little more concave next time so you wouldn't need a "dish"....

Enjoy the new shoes,

Great choice... the 'dish' is overdone lately. I think these follow the lines of the car much better. Congrats on a beaut!

I think they look really good.....but why 20"? Does that not make handling worse?

I think the wheels look great, something I was looking for as well, except I would like a bit of concavity towards the center. In some of the pics, looks like the tires are slightly narrow especially in the rear wheels, but could be the angle of the pics since the front tires look pretty well matched.

The wheels look great. I think you shouldn't replace them.

Very nice. Perfect match for the color of your car. BTW: have 20"'s on my car as well and no ride issues. Even took the car to Laguna Seca for a track day and they were fine.
