Thanks guys. I looked at several wheels - Niche M150's, Foose Outcast, Niche M114 Surge, even looked at black chrome stockers.....some many wheels. I am not a huge fan of black wheels, so they had to be graphite or machined / silver.....I figured when I get bored of the silver / machined look, I can always have them powder coated a darker color....
I loved my stock wheels, but they were beat up pretty bad. Lots of scratches and clear was starting to peel. Going to have them fixed and refinished...

With the splash of red showing on the calipers, I think a machined wheel with polished "lip" would be tits on your car. You have a dark theme, dark red, tinted windows, black fender emblem, tad bit of chrome on various trim pieces and black tires. So a dark wheel in my opinion looks more gooderer on a dark car. Especially when the accents are right.
I want to highlight my calipers and the only color that would fit would be red. But Just a splash such as yours. Your car looks great either way.

very sharp. it's amazing the difference in the look of a car when you open up the wheels. only down side is more maintanence keeping the inside of the wheel clean, but it's worth it& you're right when you start looking at wheels the amount of choices are mind boggling. love your grill to death. wish i had ability to do it.

An important factor to take into consideration besides looks and appearance is the type of material the rims consist of,aluminuim alloy rim will be your best bet,for its lighter and sturdy material to give you the best of both worlds. http://tires.about.com/od/understanding_wheels/a/Wheel-Composition-And-Construction.htm

20 x 8.5
Your car looks good as hell. Do you have any shots from the rear by chance? I've currently got stock wheels that are 20"x8" and I'm giving some consideration to going to 20"x8.5" but I'm wanting to see the difference in how the wheels look from behind in terms of filling out the wheel well before I make a final decision.
The flower wheels are 20 x 8.5 here's some views of my car... Suspension and tires are stock. I plan a 1+ to 255 aspect and the Megan coilovers. Wanna drop the body 1/2 to 1 inch in front and 1 to 1.5 inches in back. Don't want o get tires of larger diameter and sacrifice the low end pull. Hrere's a recent thread with that kind of drop and Stuntz car: http://www.ecoboostperformanceforum.com/index.php/topic,4275.msg66365.html#msg66365
Hopes this helps.

Hmmm, now you have me wondering, I wonder if I could get an accurate width with a tire on the wheel because i was pretty sure my stock wheels were 8" wide but I wonder if I'm wrong on that. I've got the H&R's right now but I feel like they're a bit more tucked in than that on the drop, but I want to switch to Megan coil overs in the spring anyways.
