That was my point. It's the relationship of the rim width versus the tire's width.

Hello, this is a great post, I also have a 2013 GS Liquid Platinum, don't like the wheels that came with the car, so, after various emails to VIP (which by the way they are very bad on answering emails no to mention they don't have a phone number to call) anyways they gave me a quote for WALD P21C in 20", for $4500 adding $850 for either Falken of Yokohama tires, so I am thinking about it.

I know I shouldn't say this and I should just mind my own business and keep my opinions to myself, but....
Those wald p21c multi-spoke wheels are terribly ugly and a horrible waste of money. There are soooo many significantly more attractive wheels to consider at that price.

Ok I feel better now.

I would not place an order with VIP Auto Salon. Your communication issues will only increase once you make a payment.

Hello bentleymp2, don't feel bad, I take any feedback (that is the beauty of this forum), a a matter of fact you are correct, that was a bad choice on my part, I am re-considering to go for a different choice, Thank you for your heads up.

Hello Outrage, you are correct, they have a bad reputation as far as answering e-mails and/or any type of response, not to mention their prices are way high.
Thank You

As your search continues, please share with us what you might be considering.

For me, picking the wheels is strangely very exciting.

Best of luck!.
