Default Advice on summer wheels

I need some help here. I don't like the silver wheels (color) but want to keep them for a dedicated set of winter tires. I want to go gloss black 20's with Pilot SS for summer driving. But I am lost in a sea of options. Price is always a consideration (I have kids) but weight and strength are on the top of the list as well.

2017 S

2017
I have been focusing in on black 20's and found these:

I'm worried that, although I really, REALLY like them, I will regret buying the same wheel style rather than doing something different (and lighter.)

Please help. I am willing to consider options in other colors, just not silver.

It's been a while since I bought wheels for a Porsche (Fuchs), I believe they were 16" if that tells you how old I am...

100 views and no one has another direction or even an opinion for me on the $2,700 ($2,500) black wheels from FWR? I simply trying to come up with other options. Apex 10 spoke is tempting, but I already had a set of similarly styled wheels on my SHO and wish to do something different.

You might have better luck in the Macan section. Not much traffic here I don't think.

It's typically hard to beat an OEM wheel in price and strength. Brands like BBS and OZ offer good wheels at entry-level prices. Some models are better than others of course.

With different wheels you need to be aware if they require different length or seat lug bolts, and not mix them up.

Macan Turbo or GTS wheels perhaps, for a style change? Both are 20".

Thanks! That's a HUGE help. I hadn't thought about newer generations of GTS wheels, and completely forgotten about BBS! Opens the door to new hunting.

Finally!!!
After months of research (and months of backorder waiting) at last the new shoes have arrived. I am keeping the stock set and will be refinishing them in satin black for the winter set (one is rashed and another stress-cracked.) I thought long and hard about the offset and decided NOT to buy the "Macan" CH-R. Mostly since I will be running spacers on the the winter wheels/tires. The Flat6 spacers arrive tomorrow along with the Power-flex tranny bushing. The back order issue was on the rears as the stock of Pilot Sport 4SUV is extremely limited. It is also my understanding that the price is going up as well so if you were planning on adding some new rubber DO NOT HESITATE to buy them NOW!!!

Up next, Cobb stage 1 tune (in hand, just lazy) and research on bringing that wheel gap down a bit with some coil-overs.
