That is my winter set up.

Varrstoen wheels IMO resemble BBS LM to other brands.

The price is very reasonable and i love the double step lip.

I have another set of 20 wheels on the way for spring,

20x10 20x12

Good looking set up, but from the standpoint of winter driving, practicality will be limited at best. I'm surprised they even make winter tires in that size.

I do have to question the wisdom of such significantly different width wheels/tires front and rear - the increased tendency for understeer would be a problem. I suggest for your summers go with a square set up and use spacers if you want to make the rears look more pushed out.
