My Ride: See my signature
It's been hard for me to keep this from you guys. You know...I didn't want to post anything until they were actually on the car. I didn't want the typical "Pics or it didn't happen" responses 
Anyway, I had my 20" Breyton GTSR-M's mounted today. These are much different than the GTS wheels. They are a newer design that came out late last year. The wheels only come 20" in either matte black or silver. I opted for silver. They have a cool inner lip. The offsets are much better so I won't need ridiculous 30mm spacers to get them to look right. I might need a 15mm or 20mm in the front and a 5mm in the back (or even none in the back) You'll see from the pics that they are really tucked in the front and almost perfect in the back.
They are super light weight for an inexpensive 20" wheel. My buddy has a scale at the shop so we weighed them before they were put on the car. 22.8 lbs in the front and 24.5 lbs in the back. I was shocked that they were a little lighter than what Tire Rack lists them at.
Here are some iPhone pics. I'll post some better ones this weekend when I can make some new videos and take some DSLR pics. These will have to do.

Very nice, Mark. You definitely need spacers in the front. I'm running 15mm in the front, but nothing in the rear. Obviously, our wheels are completely different in terms of specs, but I'm running 15's up front and they're perfect. Now you need to change the suspension and lower it. I did Dinan Stage 2 and Eibach. Although, I am very seriously considering KW's now. Hahahaha!
