220M wheels in 20" possible?

Do you think it's possible for a company to make a 220M rep in 20"? For some reason I really like the look of the 220M, and even in 19" it still complements the car perfectly, but I think in 20" it would be the perfect wheel for the e92. I honestly think the 220M, if you consider it an aftermarket wheel, is up there with the p40 and the adv.1 wheels. Thoughts?

I don't remember exactly but I think a post in the wheel section talked about 20's rubbing on hard bumps, were just a hair to big. But I know some guys have 20's on their car.

Reps won't be forged -- and thus the weight penalty in unsprung weight would deem it a bad idea. Plus 20" performance tires are waaaay more expensive.

20" 220m wheels wouldn't look good at all. The wheels already have zero lip so they look bigger than they are. If you go 20" the tires will look way too small and terrible.

20" wheels do NOT look good on our car. I don't care what wheel it is! ANY wheel! 19" will look better!
