The Switch is available in +40 and +45 in 20x8.5 and +45 in 20x10. I think those offsets should fit.

I'd rather have the wheels tucked in rather than out so I don't have plans to get big brakes; if anything, I'll just get cross drilled rotors and better brake pads.

I've already made a decision and purchased the Icons in 20x8.5(+35 offset) and 20x10(+40 offset). Wheelsnext.com didn't have a complete set in machined/gunmetal so I went with the machined/black instead. Can't wait to get them. Thanks everyone for voting!

Good choice .
In your original post you said you wanted the "Icon" wheels in gunmetal, you don't want to wait for them to get them in?

I feel the same way. Black wheels on white cars just don't do it for me.

I had placed the order for the gunmetal Icons and a few hours later was informed via phone that they didn't have a complete set. During those few hours I wondered if I made the right color choice since, after checking out some more photos of the gunmetal, it looked a little tannish in color. It worked out for the best. I think the black would match my CS side stripes.

If I was picking the wheels for myself.............neither.

However, I'm picking the ICON's for you. The rivets on the black wheels look hideous

I'm guessing you don't like rivets at all.

By the way, can you blow up your avatar picture? I wanna read what that t-shirt says...something about freezing? No seriously...I just wanna read the shirt that's all. lol
