Great choice mval!  I saw those on a few cars and they look great.  Looked like a very smooth, high gloss.
 
BTW, if anybody needs to know our stock center bore is 63.40  (The TSW Vortex is 76.00)
 
Very close to pulling the trigger on some Forgestars.  If TSW would make the Vortex in gloss black I'd be all over those.

Allrighty then!  Spoke with my dealer to see if he would accept shipment/do the install  and Discount Tire Direct this morning.  I am going to go with the TSW Vortex in Hyper Silver.  20" X 8.5"  40 Offset.  Wheels will get pushed out 1/4" with this set up. They should arrive next Tuesday or Thursday (with the holiday).  I'll get a tracking number tonight. 

I want to thank everybody for their input, especially "Lanson the Wheel Expert" for your input!  This is how my baby is going to look next weekend!

Got the TSW Vortex in Hyper Silver.  Getting installed a week from today!  :band:
 
Good choice, I like the fact that they are not that different from the stock, but enough that it makes you realize it's a different wheel.  A nice clean look that accents the car nicely.  You done good Dave!
 
Thanks guys.  I appreciate all the opinions and feed back I got.  It was a tough decision especially since I had my heart set on Tremblants for so long.  But, I like the Hyper Silver (bright wheels) and the clean look of the Vortex.  They will be very easy to clean too!  It's getting a little hard to be bending over so much cleaning out all the little nooks! 
 
Just foolin' around with the Gimp Photo Program. Not sure about the shades and I know the rotors are too small!  ;D

New wheels will be a much better complement to the platinum white if they are anywhere close to the mock-up.  :thumb:  They really pop!    We'll be waiting for the real pics! :popcorn:
 
Well, you could always add the caliper covers and get them custom color...tri-platnium white with what ever color SHO letters you think would look best...
 
Now that might not be a bad idea.  White Platinum Calipers.  BPD has white.  I'll have to think on that.  I have no problem with the stock silver really.  The shopped in rotors (wheels) were from the rear of a car I found.  So, in real life both rotors will be bigger than that.
 
BTW guys,  I'll be listing my stock 2012 20" wheels as soon as I can clean them up and get pictures.  They have the Gel SHO overlays on the hubs.  If anyone is interested, please shoot me a PM.  Thanks!

I think they would sell pretty quick.
