Finally got my 20"/21" 3 piece wheels on the car
Received my wheels back from a local refinisher and wanted to share some pics of the result.
Pretty sure this is the last step in my build, but we all know how that goes!
Wheels are 20"/21" 3 piece Modulare Forged S31's with Pirelli P-zero 375/20/21's in the rear.

Thank you for the compliments guys.
I did spend a couple hours polishing them myself after getting the wheels back.
The car is a garage queen, so they won't get dirty very often at all.
I am now debating on lowering the car more.
Huge improvement from the previous color scheme of the wheels...

Just not enough sidewall for my streets and roads. In fact, I'm concerned about my OEM 19/20s. I see many large D. wheels where I live dinged up.

Thanks everyone, I am going to lower the car(cut the factory bushings with a pvc wire cutter) and I will report back with new pics once that is complete.

Yes it was.
Car is now all the way down on cut factory bolts. 25.5" in the front, 27" in the rear
I plan on raising the rear driver's side about .5" due to me weighing down the car and
hearing a minor scrape on the rear tire while going over a dip in the road.
If the car settles some, I will also raise the other side, as this is as low as I want to go.
For anyone that is thinking about doing this, it is VERY simple with no suspension disassembly required.
Just load the leaf springs, turn the 10mm bolt all the way counter clockwise to raise the bolt
and cut the bushing with a sawzall.
Make sure to leave rubber on the bushing, so squeaking will not occur.
Car will be getting an alignment after Thanksgiving.
