the first ones for sure.

the second ones are too rice and only look good on big luxury vehicles and suvs

:withstupid: First ones looks less flashy and and more drag-ish. But from the picture, they seem to be 4-nuts.

I'd go with #1 out of those 2, but for a 5-spoke in black, why not go with some rota slipstreams and save massive weight too?

I like the second one sorry i dont think it looks rice at all. depending on the color scheme of your car it could look sexy wouldnt look good on mine but a black car those would look nice............just cause things have some shiny metal in them doesnt mean its ricey...

the more i look at them the more i think the silver in the second one just won't flow well with my car, maybe if it was black on the inside and the silver was on the outside it would work, i really like the design of the wheel it's just not for my car

so i'll be going with the first one, will post pics as soon as they come in :thumbup:

i say rotas! its worth the extra money.. just order them from modern. get some tires mount and balancing like 80 bucks.. its worth it.

i looked at that option and it would be $200 more, i really don't wanna buy a new set as it is but i have to, since i wasn't planning on getting a new set i don't have that much cash saved up so i have to go with the cheap option

that's where I just got mine from. Tons of options. Free shipping, balancing, etc etc.

To answer your question, out of those two choices I'd go with the first ones.
