Cool Buying new wheels need some help!!

Im lookin for new rims for my car, i have like 3-4 picked out. I want to run 20" rims. I also want a good amount of dish in the back. I dont really know about offsets n shit like that and like what size tires i should run and whether to stretch them if im running a really wide rim in the back.

I have a A-spec drop as well.


My choices so far:

Asanti AF-147



Private Netz



Work Varianza T1S (in Black Chrome)

You're comparing Asanti and Work to Privat?

I'll go with the asanti's. But you guys roll with 20s on the TL. Doesnt it affect ride quality, and even easily gets bent and all?

If you custom order these you can pick whatever offset you want

Any size you want

Speaking of the work and asanti

The lower the disc clear the bigger the lip

Not privat Netz, but very close...

These are 19x8.5 +37. I'm considering selling them pretty cheap if you are interested.
