I agree with howarmat...too small. As for the styling, I think they would both look good. If I had to pick between the two I would have to say the first ones.

I personally like the Shelby razors and might go that way in the future.

20's is what i got and they are perfect.  but ride and performance is a little better w/ 18's, but if its a weekend car, go w/ the 20's for the bling effect.

and i like the shelby razors too.

i think the staggered look is good, i know of someone w/ 18's in front and 20's in back and it looks good.  some dont like it, it's really a personal preference.  but i dont think 20's are too big, but if its a DD, 18 or 19 might be better, bc w/ 20's you feel the potholes more bc the tire sidewalls are smaller.

personally, i would go w/ the same rim size all around as far as the rim diameter, and you can stagger the width 9's in front and 10's in back, or at least 9's all around and you can always put fatter tires on the 9" rim in back.  19's would be a happy medium.
