Help choosing wheels

[Smittylube]

I have been searching every thread and picture I've seen and have resorted to photoshop to help decide on a new set of wheels for me

the CF10's have been catching my eye for the past year or better, so I tried a couple of flavors as well as trying Mops for size.

One consideration is I have only about 1" drop with eurospec springs so I expect mine not to tuck in as much as these others have. I keep being drawn to the 21" x 10" flavor, but worry it might stick out in front.

Any suggestions are appreciated to help me choose.
First one is current stock 20's

top and middle pics look perfectly flush, bottom looks like it pokes out in front.

This is what got me started in the first place. For some reason the color looks weird in the second pic I tried to PS, but this has been my first choice from the start.

I vote the 21x9 VFF, with spacers to dial

You bought osideaudi's wheels right? If so, those are ET19. I came across them while searching for some other stuff.

Another vote for VFF rims. So what did you get?

[Smittylube]

Nothing yet. I keep waffling because I like so mAny.

Now it looks like I have to wait for Mops to sell his current set.

I like the way the polished silver color accents the gray, but darker might be nice to hide the brake dust...

You planning on going lower? I think if you are you may have fitment issues. I'm a fan of your first choice. (Grey Q5 with blk optics and michelin tires)

Happy to help pump out a twin :) @Mops

Everyone is lower, I think mine being eurospec springs won't look right if the tire sticks out.
I'm thinking 20x9.5 same off set as stock will go 1/2" wider both sides. Since there is so much room above the tire the 20's probably look best

Everyday I look and I like so many combos. Mrs smittylube commented she was not a fan of the cf10 flavor.
I do believe 8.5 is fine and a good fit for the stock size tires, 265's jump in price. Mine only lowered is 1" lower than us spec so it does not pull in e top of the wheel, camber set to specs makes my fronts almost flush w the fender- not the flare.

I put some 10 mm spacers in the rear and that makes the stock wheels look 100% better!
However it did change the handling. Steering feels looser. It changed the bias or possibly the rear alignment slightly. I measured wheel to wheel and they are the same with he spacers. I'm sure that has an effect somehow.
