Thanks guys. I was leaning towards the Vossens which is what most people seem to like so i'm going to go for them after all. As for tire size i think I would prefer less rubbing over more comfort so im thinking maybe 245/30 in the front?

Personally for the style I like the Roderick. Too bad it's not available in 20x10

Whichever wheel you choose get 245/30 and 275/30

I feel roderick has a better look, but vossens has the better reputation and build quality.
Go with the vossens better safe than sorry.

To update: Ordered the Vossen rims today and they should arrive by the weekend. As for tires, getting in the front 245/30, or stretch a little with 235/30 (seems most peeps with this size vossen get this size up front so they can be dropped and turn the wheel without rubbin') and then a 275/30 in rear.

psyched to put them on

one disappointing bout thing about all this is that Vossen had the VVS-086 wheel in a machined and matte black finish (as seen on carbonGS's car in this thread) but discontinued them right before i decided to buy them so i settled on the silver ones like in the top pic.
