i like neither.. the top black/polished lip style is played out as much as the MR7 was in the early 2000's.. i cant stand black + polished lip..
the other has too many spokes.. tom has some that have a lot of spokes, but his is around only tib that looks good that way..
id go for a cheap rim with like 5-6 spokes.

not to hijack this thread but how important are hub centric rings? I don't have them and don't get any wheel wobble. Is that mainly what they're for?
even though you dont have wheel wobble, they still help...cuz aftermarkter wheels are made to fit alot of cars with the same lug pattern...they are used so the aftermarket rim will sit on the hub correctly, so the rim will not be lug centric

our lug pattern is 4 x 114.3? i could've sworn it was 4 x 100?
you can use both size

+++1 on the hubcentric rings.
Please dont get black with a polished lip, make it a solid, matte or gloss. I really just don't like how they look
But to each his own...
