here's some fun ones, just to be the "DA"..  >:D

See if you like any of these, these are all around $1200 a set.  Different color options too.

This one is actually made by TSW, for Lexus cars but it works for us.

Axis Penta, you choose the color pinstripe (white is an option)

I got more, just trying to see if something hits you as attractive for your wants.

I like the middle wheel. U sure these are 1200 a set. Could swear they were much higher. I'm going to get some wheels soon. Having the hardest time deciding between 20s and 22s.
 
This is still my favorite set up at the moment.  Staggered TSW Valencias.

By middle, do you  mean the Foose ones?

$1220 actually!

Elementwheels.com is where johng got his Ace wheels, if I remember right.




BTW I would vote less lipped wheels and more full-face wheels (especially concave on the rear staggered), when it comes to 20's.  On 22's, yeah lips work out great.  But in 20", there is a lot of tire, then a lip, then the wheel face.  I wouldn't like my setup in 20", it would be too small.  21" would be awesome if tires weren't impossible to find and expensive when you find them.

If you did want to go with a staggered, lipped wheel, might I suggest the Vertini Milano, Zenetti Bellagio, Roderick RW2, or Stance ST-1.  Those will all properly show off the staggered setup by baring tons of lip in the back.

If more concave action is desired in the rear rather than lip, then wheels like the Axis Allies are better suited.  The pics I showed prior aren't properly displaying the concavity.
 
How about something a little less busy.  Much easier to keep clean inside and out.  No worries about staggering. And, I can use up my Michelins until it's time for 255's.

Here's the Axis Model One, comes in graphite or silver.

It is one of the cleanest 5 stars I've come across.  Note the step-lip, and most importantly, how the spoke interacts with the rim of the lip in a non-intrusive way while also being lighter both physically, and visually.  This image explains that

Can be done in 20x8.5 all around, but looks amazing staggered (like most wheels do.)

Maintains a bit of concavity even in a 8.5" wide, but gets more aggressive with the 9.5 and 10.5 offerings.  There's also a strong possibility that a 20x9.5 +45 will fit all the way around.  Would be worth a test-fit IMO.

Alternatively,

The Giovanna Mecca RL

And Dramadio RL

Which both come in some different color combos, I just picked one and threw it up here.  Those Giovanna RL wheels are very light, and RL means reverse lip, so the inner lip behind the spokes are purposely smooth and deep, adding to the look of the wheels.  Come square or staggered, your call.


 
Those all look good Lanson.  As do the others you put up.  The Vortex set is a couple hundred less than the Axis though I think the spoke/rim interaction is awesome!  I kind of picked the Vortex based on your advice regarding lips.  And, the thought of keeping the Valencia clean.  All those little holes, nooks and crannies.

First SHOman4 love your wheels, wish I was a painter like you. The all whites are head turning but i would think a detailing nightmare. my choice is the tremblant with the gloss black  w/ mirror cutup. black is very in but still like some chrome to go with it. wish had been able to do this year but not in the budget, maybe next year upgrade to 20's w/ new tires. The factory goodyears are just junk.
HA mval! I got PAINT HAPPY again for Christmas!LOL
