Which of the two??
So I am literally torn between these two wheels.
What do you think I should go with? I have a GG evo x and I will be getting either of these sets in flat black and both are 18X9.5 +20 (Could only find a pic of flat black for the DPT's).
Let me know!
Thanks guys

the Grids are have a very aggressive concave face as oppossed to the DPTs. Also... I believe the DPTs in the 18x9.5 will come in +35 as opposed to the Grids in +20. Which means that the Grids will stick out alot further than the DPTs. PM Dan at Wheeldude and see what he says on the DPT's offset as this will make a difference on how the wheels will look. I say go with the Grids as they look more aggressive.

I wonder why they decided to make the DPTs in such a conservative offset... I guess they will look fine on a IX but on a X with a +35 offset, they will be sitting inside the wheelwell. You have one option that can still work if you prefer the DPTs.
Just use spacers with longer studs.
If you go with a 10mm spacer and longer studs, then you will be running the DPTs in a +25 which will put them closer to TE37s or the Grids offset and they will look better than sitting inside the wheelwell..
Use spacers for the DPTs and you will much happier with the looks. I guarantee the +35 will look a bit funny on the X so most people will probably be using spacers to make them stick out a bit more.
I had the same issue when I bough a set of CE28s as the concave face only comes in the ultra low offset of +22 or +15... but the +22 CE does not clear the brembos so I had to do alot more modding to the rear fenders and run negative camber to make them look more tucked in. The +15 on a X would look killer tho but on a IX you need to do some work so they don't look stoopid sticking way out.
Anyways man I think if you go with some good spacers you will much happier with the results. The DPT is basically the CE28 in looks so no doubt they will look killer on a X. Just look at Archie's X that is running 19x10.5 +22 Ce28s. Its insane looking.
