LOL....how did I know you were gonna say the Alcoa's! Definitely a nice wheel and I am considering them but wanted a few options.

What can I say, Alcoas are sick. I have CS40 Blacks on my 2007 Redfire GT/CS and I love them, it's all personal preference.

Well....I do like the Alcoa Super Snakes, like the looks of the godspeed's in black chrome (but won't be getting them due to the back chrome peeling problem), like the FR500's in black chrome (avoiding for the same reason as the godspeed's).

I think I have made up my mind that I am willing to sacrifice performance for 20" wheels.

Watch the offset. Stock is in the 45-50mm range.

20's don't allow enough sidewall and can be prone to rim damage if there are decent sized potholes in your area. I personally feel that 20's distract from the retro styling of the car due to the lack of sidewall but to each his own.

Thanks for the word of caution. Things aren't too bad pothole wise in my area but better safe than sorry. Maybe a 19" wheel to find a happy medium? I know my choices in that size are limited.

gotta say if they are in your range, the Alcoa's have to be the hottest wheel out there.
Plus the price makes them pretty exclusive.

IMO the wheels you list look like they belong on a M3, just my thoughts
