Default What about these for a GS ?

What do you guys think about these gorgeous Lenso ES-Avanziz 20 X 8.5 wheels for a 2000 GS ?
I have been thinking ... nothing concrete since my wheels are nice , but still ... I would really, really appreciate opinions on it . These babies are kind of expensive , and if I am correct , the new BMW 7 series come with them .
It is just a thought , but I am asking nonetheless , thanks .
Please, feel free to elaborate

Not my style but if you like them that matters more than my opinion. I don't know anything about the quality of those wheels but research that before you decide, wheels are one area where imo you should buy the best quality you can, even if it means saving up or buying used.

If they're offered in a staggered setup I'd really consider that, or at least spacers in the rear or they'll be more sunken than the fronts.

I think that they come 40 mm offset front and rear.

Really, guys ? I think they are cool ... very elegant wheels that MAY look great on a GS body . It would give it a modern , up to the present 2014 look . But it is just a thought ... no need for anybody to get stressed out on it , lol
Can anybody photo shop them on a GS ? that would eliminate any doubts for sure

No thank you. If anything, maybe a set of japanese wheels (Blitz, Work, SSR etc) to compliment all of the great parts already on your car!

Guys, I like my HRE ENKEI wheels very much . The barrels were sent to be refinished and the star centers are waiting to be put on again nest week , hopefully .
I just happen to like the Lenso , but I guess I am ALL ALONE on that . if I had any ideas , all the comments about the Lenso have , most certainly , erased them , lol...
These are the center stars , 3 on my trunk and the 4th is inside the car
There are 24 screws for wheel , so I have 96 screws to go , but hey , it has to be done . I already have the Loctite (242 blue) and the Torque wrench ( I believe 22 F/P would do, to be cautious ), along with the 12 point sockets , waiting ...!!!
