Should look great! I have a similar color car (Graphite Shadow) and went for the matte black Forgestar wheels for more of a contrast look, but I was definitely considering graphite colored wheels though!

Not possible for 20x10 to be lighter than 20x9 and 20x10.5 to be lighter than both lol.
That's not necessarily true as some wheels have more backpad which means more weight. It's not going to make that much a difference but I can see .2 happening.
