Wheel Opinions - Help

What does everyone think of these. I would be able to do a staggered tire setup, but not staggered wheel. The wheels would be 20x9 +35 all around. Tires 245/35/20 and 275/35/20. All opinions welcomed. Weighing pros and cons on them, not sure if I like that the lugs aren't exposed. They utilize a centercap also they have a very small lip.

I dunno if I'm feeling the centercap. I typically like a wheel that shows off the lugnuts. Only thing is I've got a deal worked out on these.

I always factor in the cleaning time required to keep the wheels looking good. These seem like they might be pretty high on cleaning.

True. The stock wheels are a PITA to clean as well though. I miss my Gunmetal 19" Rays Wolf 77's on my Z. Those things were a dream to clean. Thin 5-spoke with a fat lip. Could reach your hand into the wheel and keep the inner wheel clean as well. The gunmetal ALWAYS looked clean too, I loved those things.

I had the same exact wheels on my Z. Color and everything. I loved them also. It was nice being able to easily get to the inner side part of the wheel to clean.

If you do that then it will appear that you have the wrong tires on the rear of your car, because the 275 is wayyy overspec for a 9" wheel. So the front tire will nice and slim and the rear will look like a bulky donut.

If you want a larger rear just do 255 or somthing, but not 275 on a 9"
