I like the first one (Simple, Clean, & Sporty). I think the 2nd one, although different, has too much going on.

Number one of those two. I think weight/size/ and looks is the factor I am looking for, especially weight.

I'm not all "ooohh ahhh" over NISMO wheels, but they do come in 8 pounds lighter than stock. 32lbs of less unsprung weight is amazing!

Of the two, has to be the first one. Funny, the second one kind of looks like it could be spinners.
