Here's my recommendation:
20x11-32mm offset: will accommodate 295/30-20,305/30-20 & 315/30-20 (though, I've not yet seen a 315/30-20)
20x9.5-49mm offset: will accommodate 255/35-20,265/35-20 & 275/35-20
This will extend the face a conservative 12mm (vs 15mm or 17mm), ensuring clearance with any of the above tires and any available suspension.
To ensure closely matching diameters, the following front/rear tire combos should be used: 255/295, 265/305, 275/315.

Thank you for the kind words.
I went to Helen Bak.
It looks like the VS03's can be configured in an infinite number of ways. I am going to calculate the best offsets (20x9.5, 20x11) to safely accommodate the widest range of tire sizes and suspensions without having to trim or roll the fender lips. On a group buy, I believe that would leave each of us to select the finish to match with our respective colors. Vince, will you be contacting them re: group buy, or do you want me to?

Hopefully it wasn't too hot on you trip. Who would you think should be contacted? You are welcome to take up the charge. I'd like to get specific weights. I would go for 9.5 and 11's in the forged if the weight difference justifies the cost. Not sure what others interests are? I assume forged, although the OP's are flow forged. If all are forged doesn't matter as Stance and Vertini are both VS forged line.
I’ll reach out to them tomorrow. I suspect that we would all have to go with the same style and specs because that would allow them to save on the setup charge. Though, I also suspect that we could specify different finishes. The weights are critical for me as well. I am not interested unless I can save ~10 pounds/ wheel.
1. The VS03 wheels weigh 20-21 lbs front and 23-24 lbs rear. ~10lb/wheel savings.
2. We need 4 or 5 orders for the deal, but can each order any style, specs or finish as long as they are all manufactured by VS.
3. They will offer ~$55/wheel off list, but that also includes lug nuts and freight. Full set will cost ~$2400 del'd with nuts.
Who's in?

I like the look of those and they would be more than 10 lbs lighter per wheel when comparing against the turbine wheels. I'm definitely in! What about colours? I'd like to get some in dark grey (or whatever their fancy term is).
Go to the website linked above. They offer over a dozen options for finishes. What you are referring to is called Gunmetal. That’s what I’ll be ordering. If you are ordering to be shipped overseas there will be an additional charge for the additional freight.

Lance,
I'm in.
first, thanks for taking the lead.
Questions:
what size did did you check weight for and who are we ordering from? (Scratch second question, I reread your post).
What size wheels and tires are you contemplating? I didnt think 9.5 front with 275's was a consideration, nor 315 rear. If I was to lower car in future, would either of these create an issue?
