Hi, I pulled the trigger on some Element EL44 wheels in gloss black replacing the OEM GT Edition 19 inch wheels. They are a split 5 spoke design.
Here are the specs:

Front: 20x9 35mm offset with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S 245/35/20
Rear: 20x10.5 42mm offset with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S 285/30/20

I'm really happy with how it looks and handles. My car is AWD and the Pilot Sport 4S tires handle so much better than the stock Michelin Primacy Tour A/S that came with the car. The stance is much more aggressive without being over the top. At first I was a bit nervous about going from 19 to 20 inch wheels and thought the ride quality would be worse. I honestly can't tell the difference. Very smooth.

I had them installed locally at Element Wheels in Chandler AZ. They did a great job and I would highly recommend them!

Cheers!

love it, looks great
 
'stance' really proves itself with rear shots, you know. those are very nice wheels.

but I won't do 20", ever, have even toyed with the idea of going 18" on the GT1 like on the Premium, but wider than 8" of course. something square at 8.5 or 9 running a 245 or 255 tire. I keep thinking about it ......
 
Great. Let’s get some booty shots.
