Which direction should I take it

Hey guys. I got bored with my current wheel set up so I sold them. Right now I'm looking at my options for a set of 20" wheels and have come up with a few different ones I like.

Criteria:
20"
Sit flush with fender, no poke (if any just barely) and very very minor stretch
either HUGE lip or concave
Want something that's a little obnoxious (stands out) but not ricey
Little bit race and a little bit luxury
Need to keep it under or very close to $2,000 for the 4 wheels

My car:

Choice # 1: Vossen cv7's (20x10.5 concave all around)
img1663t.jpg?t=1343663179

Just to show the concave, I would not poke/stretch this much!

Will doing 10.5 all around really screw up the handling? I do drive pretty aggressively but wouldn't think id hurt THAT bad. The main reason I want to do 10.5 all around is I love the concave look on both front and back, dont want to do a flat 9" up front and then super concave in back

yes it will, send a PM to member g35man04 aka Chris. he had 10.5 all round for a while and hated how the car handled. I cant seem to find his thread about it but i'm sure he will gladly explain the cons.

good luck

Option #1 looks to be the best, in my opinion. That wheel is ridiculously clean.

Nothing will happen with 10.5 all around . For **** sakes I had 11s up front and 12 rear lol

For 2k, I would have saved up a little more and gotten something else
