Thanks for the compliments guys. I decided to switch wheels (again), because my previous one wouldn't work with big brakes. Another reason for the switch is, with the 20s that I had before, I couldn't drop it as low as I want it. With the overall diameter being bigger than stock I would end up rubbing against the fender well when it's turned. A lower offset would have be a remedy, but I like my wheels as flush as I can with the body. I would've gone with a more aggressive offset but I have a feeling that this is not my final wheel choice. And going with a lower offset would've been a hard sell later.

As far as rubbing, there isn't any. My fenders were modified before to accept lower than normal offsets. And with these wheels, all a person with a GS has to do it remove the plastic arch that's screwed on to the rear wheel wells. And with the possiblity thats he or she might not even have to do that.
