Staggered my look dope to you, but they are not as functional as a square set-up, at least when we're talking about a/your 128i. You said you're looking for a street wheel (not a race wheel) so anything from a mainstream manufacturer is going to meet your needs.
I will add one negative experience. I bought 17' Sport Edition F10's for snow tires for my 135. I may have had extremely bad luck with potholes in the lower New York area, but I bent 7 of these over the course of 2 winters. I since gave up and found some other used rims. I suggest staying away from them if your roads suck.
