Help me pick out new rims for my LR coupe

So the time has come to get new rims. I have an 05 6MT LR coupe and it looks like this:


this next pic was taken before the car was dropped on 350Z S-techs.


These are my top picks in order from most preferred.

SEVAS R66


Iforged Neo Ignore the blue lip.


SEVAS R77


I would like a 2 or 3 piece rim that is not too heavy. The center of the rim would be powder coated Matte Black and the lip would be Chrome. I choose these rims because of the almost flat face on the center of the rim. The sizes would be 20X9.5 Front and 20X10.5 Rear with the most aggressive offset that I can get to fit a non-brembo coupe.

___________
|___ ... ___|
......|..|
......|..|
......|..| <--- outside of rim
......|..|
____|..|___
|_________|

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what other rims have this same flat face effect? Other suggestions?
