Aftermarket vs. OE Wheels

Hello all... I am a new member here but have lurked on this site for years as it's always been a very good source of information.

I just traded my '08 QP for a '14 Ghibli SQ4 that's due to arrive this weekend.

I wanted to stay with 20" wheels and this car comes with the 20" Polished URANO wheels. The picture is not my car... I'm getting Nero Ribelle/Cuoio.

I'm trying to decide whether to leave them and just buy H&R 15mm spacers to push them out a tad or if I should get an aftermarket set.

If I go aftermarket, I would most likely go with Forgestar F14 or maybe Vorsteiner VFF-101 in a 20x9 and 20x11 with slightly taller tires to fill up the fender gap (i.e. 255/40 vs. 245/40 front and 295/35 vs. 285/35 rear).

The OE wheels are 8.5 front and 10.5 rear so they're not small by any means.

I'm just torn because it's a brand new car and in many ways I don't want to replace Maserati wheels with aftermarket! On the other hand, I'm not so sure about adding spacers and adding unsprung weight (although minimal).

Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.
