19s or 20s?
Really considering getting some forgestar f14's in textured bronze for my sterling gray 2011 GT
These rims :
On this car : (this one has the same rims but mirror cut face- car is also lowered- not my actual car , mine has stock premium rims which i would sell)
heres mine as it is now
The current rims look OK, but the tires suck and the rims are too narrow for a good tire width. Im planning on getting 295 35 20 pilot supersports rear(if i can find any in stock, may need PS2 for this size) with 275 40 19 pilot supersports front. Getting 5% tint soon also btw.
Think my plan for 19s front 20s rear is good? That pic above claimed to have 19s on the front but i kind of think it looks like he has all 20's..
I could do 19x9.5s all around for cheaper.
Pros of staggered = badass look with fat rears, possibly slightly better traction, unique
cons = Slightly heavier, cant rotate the tires, more expensive tires and rims
thoughts/suggestions/comments welcome

another option is bronze tsw nurburgring's for quite a bit cheaper, and without the 4-6 week wait.
they wouldnt be deep concave though, and forgestars color may look sexier on my car, not really sure.
thoughts or opinions on these colors/wheels?

my friends call tsw 'too soft wheels'. when a brand earns a reputation like that, it would scare me a little.
the nurburgrings are excellent value for what they are, and look good, though.
I'd prefer to have the forgestars myself. I've been having this same battle .. stay 19s, go 20s? 20s look better, but 19s offer better performance in most cases.

Your proposed 19"F/20"R is not far off from the 2011/12 GT500 Performance Package wheel/tire set up. That package has 265/40/19s front and 285/35/20s rear and looks great!
That set up is what inspired me to do the same thing, only in 18"F/19"R. I went with 255/45/18s in the front and 275/40/19s in the rear. I think it looks great on the OEM springs (no need to lower).
