I like the bottom more cos it has less spokes which means easier to clean..just my opinion.

What are the brands of those two wheels?

what wheels are those exactly?
brand and price will help determine what i would choose.
what factors are you looking at? or is it simply looks (one or the other) type of thing?


based solely on appearance i would go with the 1st one myself.

i like the bottom one better. the mesh is cool too, but that design doesn't look right to me for some reason.

I like the bottoms.
The top I consider a classic BBS style rim that never really goes out of style but is an older look and harder to clean.

i would go with the top ones... they're both very common, but the bottom ones look like those brabus wheels that are almost as common as the tsw bremma style.
personally i would get neither, as i like a mercedes wheel with lots of surface area rather than a lot of spokes, but that's just moi
