Default Thinking of doing these rims, need input

Hey guys im trying to decide what wheels to do for my gs4. I definately want to do 20s but im pretty picky about what to do. I want a rim with a nice lip on it and either polished or pref chrome. Definately going for a simple classy design. Here is what it looks like now. Ill post the pic i just photochopped real quick next.

F.Y.I.-the photoshop is good but it could stand be a little more realistic to give you a better idea of the finished look.Post a request in the Photoshop forum and someone will hook you up.Make sure to provide pics of the wheel/s that you wanna see on the car.

You've got a lot of options for $4-5K, but not in the HRE class...that photoshop has got to go...looks like an 8" lip on the front! ...and the camber issues with that pic
