Nice, I was between these and the cf10's and ultimately decided on the 10's because I feel they looked better on my sedan. Either way, both awesome wheels. Congrats.

I was really impressed with the matte gunmetal and I was a little hesitant on getting matte at first. Will know for sure after 2-3 weeks of brake dust build how how they look when dirty and how hard they are to clean. But right now it looks really sick in the sunlight today when I walked to my car at lunch.
Also, even the 9.5" front has some pretty damn deep concave, which I wasn't expecting (as seen in the last pic). Really happy with them.
The fitment is spot on too, for my taste. Tires are flush with the fender and I can just about fit my pinky in there. If I ever got my camber back into spec though I think the tires might poke out a little bit like the first picture - which isn't for me. any more aggressive than the +30 in the back and +23 in the front would definitely make everyday driving a hassle, I heard my wheel hit my fender today when I was making a tight u-turn and the ground wasn't so great. made me cringe lol. Was unsure about 285 in the back, so stuck with 275 to be safe, there is plenty of room though. The front.... not so much when turning.

new respect for people who dump the hell out of their car with aggresive wheels and daily drive it. these + eibach springs is plenty enough for me... maybe another 1/4" lower wouldnt hurt.

edit; for anyone who does get these, go with ~45mm lug nuts. I got 35mm and theyre tucked deep inside, I wasn't able to thread them by hand to get them on - I had to use the extension adapter provided. Very easy to damage the wheel paint - even with extensions and adapters provided with aftermarket lugs

Matte Gunmental looking good in direct sunlight. Theyre very reactive to light for not being gloss.

I love it! Fitment is spot on and the gunmetal look great against the silver.
Glad everything worked out well!

yeah the fitment really is perfect. I gotta eventually get camber kits to correct my -2* camber. the tire tucks a little bit up top. viewing from eye level (im 5'10) in person you can hardly tell, but pictures definitely point out the space - if it was flush you wouldn't be able to fit a pen cap between tire and fender. I tried how it is now lol, it barely slides in.

also i have to resolve how/why/what im rubbing on the inside of the wheel well when i make sharp right turns or tight u-turns. i have a feeling it is the top of the fender liner or maybe a bracket/screw above the wheel

I know this thread is old but I really like the look of the rims! I may be changing my mind again and go with 19's instead of 20's. I think I will go with +25 offset in front and +35 in back. Might also go with the 285/35/19 in the rear. Im going to call Jason at GetYourWheels tomorrow and figure this out

I think 19's look better. 20's are too big!!! This car looks good but I don't think the rims really match the car. They look like they are for a sports car not a luxury coupe. Kinda brings the car down. Also the drop is too low for my tastes. That's just my opinion of course.
