Mine hasn't come in yet, but it seems the two most popular choices are Shelby Razors or the Alcoas that come on the SS and KR showcar.  Most people are definitely sticking with a shelby wheel. 
The only bad thing I see about them, is they come only nine inches wide, 1/2 inch shorter than stock.  And wheel width and traction is what they need most.

I havent see too many pics on this forum (most performance here), but on the Brad Barnett forum they have lots of pics (but not near as much useful info as the wonderful MF people)

I think I am going to go with the Alcoa's in a year or so....I believe these also come with a 10 inch width

If you want a performance tire/rim package stick with 18s.  The 20s are only for show.  They have very limited tire options, none of which improve over stock.  MANY more options in 18s.

I run a 335/30/18 on an 18x11 GT500 rim in the rear.
