Thanks for all the nice comments.
When they first put on the wheels they were tilted in, severe negative camber. I brought it back to Status after a day to have their buddies do a laser alignment where they corrected the negative camber and the wheels are straight up and down.
You can kind of see the negative camber here at Status: www.curtiscjones.com/g35web
I was actually looking at the Maya RT5's first, but then I saw the old BMW 5 series wheel design like these and decided it might look good on a G35 sedan too:

I'm really glad I went with 20" instead of 19" because the sedan wheel well is HUGE... they almost look like 19"s because the wheel well is so big. The coupes don't have this problem as much.

How is the rear camber? I can't really tell from your shots.

I'm not answering for him, but I put aftermarket 19's on my car this past summer for the first time and was a little worried by this, but I still got average of 22 MPG (80% hwy). Not that bad....in fact, I don't even know how much I even lost. Obviously 10"x20" rims may be a bit worse....
