As good as they look, I could never bring myself to buy a set of wheels from a company named "Stance." And they even stamp it all over the wheel. No thanks...

I too once had an irrational reason for not buying them a year and a half ago. But, you can't argue how awesome they look, so I'm giving into temptation.

BTW, if anyone noticed, American Muscle is taking preorders for a Vossen knock off.

supposedly concave, but doesn't look like it.

Yeah those MMD wheels are hideous

Also, the Stance 20x10.5 have a 35mm offset which puts the outer lip of the wheel pretty much in line with the fender if not outside it, asking for tire rub/hit.

And Danielle, you've already had issues with that.
How about on your next wheels you get a set that fits properly?

Incorrect sir! The offset is +45mm, giving me an additional 1/3" clearance!

Research has been exhaustive on this.

What size are you looking at for the rear?

ElementWheels.com lists both the 20x10 and the 20x10.5 with offsets of 27 and 35mm.
I don't see any of them with 45mm offsets

You'll notice all the companies offer a 20x10.5 45mm offset. Other than Velgen, the majority of these companies get wheels from the same place, or at least they get the blocks from the same place. 20x10.5 also works on multiple cars, it just happens to work for ours too


We're looking into picking up Stance, we are already direct with multiple wheels companies so why not one more!! Plus as of late, we've been getting hit up on Niche and Stance so it just makes sense


I'll keep you guys posted on Stance, they're a good quality wheel!

Alright, looking at their site, the 20x10 is available in 35mm, the 20x10.5 in 27mm offset, no 45mm.
To get a 45mm offset you have to drop down an inch to the 19x10.5 for the SC-5

And honetsly, I'd find those crevices at the ends of the spokes hard to clean, I'm not a fan of the overall design either, how the spoke is finished toward the rim .... leaves me "meh"

I agree... After I see the sc5 more and more, the more I don't care for it. The more I love my Milans.
