Look pretty good to me....except I would want 18's because I don't want tiny sidewalls/rubber with my coil over setup! I bet they don't come in 18's...

Also, that car needs a better stance/height, then the rims would look even better.

I love the wheels! If I were to get them it would be a 18/19 or 19/19 setup though. Going to seriously be looking into these ��

Not a fan; personally I prefer a wheel that has a more pronounced lip as opposed to these where the spokes extent over the edge of the rim. I am also not a fan of the black / charcoal rim look.
Finally, if we're being honest, I don't like the jigsaw puzzle look of the car with the exposed carbon fiber panels.

The wheels are meh styling wise, but are really light. Your fenders look like they're ill-fitted with angles that don't line up, especially the fronts. The side coves are really off, and their design is inelegant.

What's wrong with the ride height/stance of the car? It looks functional to me...

Wouldn't want 20" wheels. 18" or 18"/19" staggered would be my pick.

Any chance there are OEM size 17/18's available instead of these heavy, oversized hot wheels?

Not that anyone cares but I have Rohana wheels on my daily driver (2014 Nissan Maxima SV) and I like them a lot.

They are 20 x 10 RFX5's and they were surprisingly light actually; lighter than my factory wheels

When I describe something beautiful the word functional doesn't appear.

The gap in the rear is too much for one with the car. Also, the front fenders don't line up at the bottom. The 20/20 makes everything look off in the front/rear ratio. The rims don't look special, no concave or lip, just spokes. Last the mixed parts look ricer.

I agree with the bodywork issues, just not with the ride height debate. A little extra room in the rear for weight transfer on acceleration doesn't bother me.

That's not how weight transfer works but ok.

Also I have a C5Z that looks close to the one in your avatar. You in Az?

I was. I live in San Diego now...and I was referring to tire clearance on acceleration. Yes, that would be a lot more room than necessary.
