Alcoas = Sexiest rims I've ever seen

I just can't see myself dropping around $2k just on rims....

I wish/hope they come out with some non-forged/durabright replicas

The only reason they can't is because of the patent on them right? Does this mean no replica or drop in price anytime soon?

I wanted to run this wheel but with 20 x 9 all around so that I could rotate them? Has anyone else done this? Everyone tells me it's no problem doing this but I have yet to find someone else that did this. Also if I did this could I safely go with 265/35/20 with no issue?

I run 20x9s all around (not the alcoa's though) and I'm running 255s and I could easily go 265s or even 275s

Your CS looks awesome!!! I can't wait to get these wheels on. I was thinking about going w/ 265 because I wanted to protect the rim a little more. These Chicago streets are murder!! I'm sure you know.

I haven't seen anyone running a 20x9 at all 4 corners, but there's no reason you couldn't with a 265/35/20. Everything would work fine.

Yeah I figured, but I haven't seen anyone run 20 x 9 Alcoas at all the corners either and it was freaking me out. I think I am going with a 265. They cost a bit more but I think it'll be worth it to protect the rim.

Yes they are worth it and will fit just fine...I have a 265 up front on my 8.5 inch wide fronts and no issues!...looks great too! Post it up when done!
