Want better daily SS 1LE setup

So I have 255/35R20 & 275/35R20 All seasons for my daily setup. They are currently mounted to OEM SS 5 spokes. I got a great price on those wheels and had plans to plastidip them satin black. However, I've really fallen for the idea of swapping to better looking wheels and selling my silver 5 spokes to help offset the cost some. After trading or selling the 5 spokes I would hope to have about $500 or less invested in the new wheels. I can take care of the mounting and balancing myself.

So I'm looking for suggestions on affordable wheels to swap too. I have eyed the black V6 1LE wheels and think they would look great on the car, but I also like the idea of going with aftermarket or rep wheels that have a custom offset that would match the outer apperance of my OEM SS 1LE set.

If I go with custom offset wheels the sizes I'll consider are as follows so I can stick with my all season tire sizes.

FRONT:
(20X9) ET 10
(20X8.5) ET 5 (OEM ET 25)

REAR:
(20x10) ET 30
(20x9.5) ET 25 (OEM ET 39)

Thoughts? Opinions?

5-10K mile 285/305 Supercar 3s cost $1300 a set

50k mile warranty G-MAX AS-05s cost $700 a set

The SS 1LE set gets pulled out for Mountain Drives, Track Days, and AutoX.

PS4S cost more than the OEM SS 1LE Supercar 3s! Last a little longer though.

I just want some better looking daily wheels. I want as close to the OEM look as I can get on my daily setup. I think the V6 1LE wheels will do the trick, but I would be nice to not need the 20mm spacers to get the wheels to sit flush with the fenders.

Buy a set of the replica 1LE wheels from MRR and put good all seasons on them. That's what I did and I couldn't be happier.

V6 1LE wheels are the exact same spec as non 1LE SS wheels. So they are the exact same fitment as my silver 5 spokes. They just look better.

I would if they made them in a 20X9 size. I want to stick to my 255/35 & 275/35 sizes on my daily setup. Car is more playful with the smaller tires and they are cheaper to replace. My OEM SS 1LE wheels/tires are for the sporty driving. I only want appearance and practicality out of the daily setup. I'm just trying to upgrade the look from my silver 5 spokes before I just resort to plastidipping them and living with the design.

Supercar 3R (ZL1 1LE) is way different from the Supercar 3 (SS 1LE & ZL1) but the 3 still has more grip and is closer to the Cup 2 in comparison than the PS4S. It's a different level of performance tire. PS4S is toned down more liveable tire. I daily drove my 3R's and they were just fine, but obviously my new all season / daily setup is much softer and more comfortable.

Just FYI the tread wear ratings give you a rough idea of where the tires are performance wise.

Hoozier R7 = 40TW
Supercar 3R = 100TW
Sport Cup 2 = 180TW
Supercar 3 = 220TW
PS4S = 300TW
