Oh definitely not squirrelly in any way. I actually have my 21s listed for sale, but I'm thinking of just mounting snows on them. I'd be going backwards with 20s for the summer and 21s for the winter, but I really wanted these wheels and they don't make them bigger than 20s. I probably could have gone with summer tires on them then instead of the Conti DWS 06, but I really don't push the car anywhere near their limits anyway. I may regret that though if I manage to get some track time like I'm hoping for this year!

I'd like to keep th 20" wheel, but go a bit wider...like maybe 10" vs 8.5" that I think is stock.
Anybody know what the correct offset should be...I think I read somewhere that it should be 25, but I'm not sure.

Thanks in advance,
Jason

So it looks like I may be going another route on this...The weight savings would be nice but the real motivator was cosmetic, I admit...I spoke with the place here in LA who did the "taping" to black out all the trim, etc. on my car and they will do a powder coating of my stock wheels to a sort of a 'gun metal grey'...they look sweet and then I won't have to worry about what to do with the stocks, etc...they should look, in color, about like this one...[ATTACH]

Well mine won't look exactly LIKE those, those were some BMW wheels the place I'm going had done that to, it was the color I was referring to...they'll still be the 21" SQ5 wheels only gun metal grey...

I'm running 20x10 ET25. The proper offset depends on how flush you want things and also obviously what's available in the wheel you want.
