I am looking to go down from my stock 21s to 20s with an aftermarket wheel.

Please feel free to show off your wheel setups!

Ideally, the wheel I'm after would be gloss black, have a flush fit, and be lighter than the stock wheels.

Lots have done this. Mine are 20x9.5 RTR Tech 5, +33 offset. Not perfectly flush but a very good fit. 9 lbs lighter than the stock 20s, so even lighter than your stock 21s.

Looks good! What size are the tires? Have you done a before/after with dragy runs or anything? Is the ride softer now?

285/50 Nitto NT420V. No dragy runs. I came from the base factory 20s, so my ride is roughly the same, new tires are a little taller than the factory 255/55s. Definitely looks better though!
