Here's the Axis Model One, comes in graphite or silver.


It is one of the cleanest 5 stars I've come across.  Note the step-lip, and most importantly, how the spoke interacts with the rim of the lip in a non-intrusive way while also being lighter both physically, and visually.  This image explains that

Can be done in 20x8.5 all around, but looks amazing staggered (like most wheels do.)

Maintains a bit of concavity even in a 8.5" wide, but gets more aggressive with the 9.5 and 10.5 offerings.  There's also a strong possibility that a 20x9.5 +45 will fit all the way around.  Would be worth a test-fit IMO.

Alternatively,

The Giovanna Mecca RL


And Dramadio RL


Which both come in some different color combos, I just picked one and threw it up here.  Those Giovanna RL wheels are very light, and RL means reverse lip, so the inner lip behind the spokes are purposely smooth and deep, adding to the look of the wheels.  Come square or staggered, your call.

Those all look good Lanson.  As do the others you put up.  The Vortex set is a couple hundred less than the Axis though I think the spoke/rim interaction is awesome!  I kind of picked the Vortex based on your advice regarding lips.  And, the thought of keeping the Valencia clean.  All those little holes, nooks and crannies.

Some nice choices in the 5-spokes.  Also in step with the OEM 5 spoke theme.  WIN!

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

First SHOman4 love your wheels, wish I was a painter like you. The all whites are head turning but i would think a detailing nightmare. my choice is the tremblant with the gloss black  w/ mirror cutup. black is very in but still like some chrome to go with it. wish had been able to do this year but not in the budget, maybe next year upgrade to 20's w/ new tires. The factory goodyears are just junk.
HA mval! I got PAINT HAPPY again for Christmas!LOL


The GRAND BABY's love it and I didn't pay $400 for it.
