Default Privat wheels?

What do you guys think about the Privat Netz wheels?.. Im thinking of getting the 20x8.5 all around with an offset of 38. The wheel is silver with chrome lip.. I have a white 2GS with 5% tint all around and lowered on Tein CS V.1... I wanted something with good quality and something classy but still affordable. My car is an everyday car.. So please tell me what you guys think.. Thank you in advance!

+1 go with 8 in the front and 8.5 rears! They look nice, but will be a PITA to keep clean with all those spokes!

Yeah, Seize is quick with it isn't he. Big props indeed.

Btw, the wheels look nice. You can even rotate them when you need to.

I dont know if I havent done much research, but they dont have a staggered set up on 20's atleast.. I was hoping the did.. And definitely thanks Seize for the quick photoshop. It does look really clean.. I also saw the other photoshop on the thread you started about aftermarket wheels.. Looks really good.. Hmmm is there any benefits of having a staggered set up on OUR cars atleast..

Nothing wrong with 8.5 all around, i did it.

The Netz look pretty good. Go for it. Cleaning them is a second job though.

Thank you for all the replies and inputs guys! I made a little more effort and researched. There is a staggered fitment, but only for BMW/Mercedes lug patterns. There is a staggered fitment for the GS, but its only on 19s. But for some reason, I want 20s.. So as of now, I am thinking if I really need a staggered set up.. What do you guys think?..

By the way, will high gloss black with chrome lip of the same style look good?
