If you are deadset on going with one of those two, then definately the second set. Personally I think you should go with something a little smaller and less dark.
Re: New wheel choices....need input
I'd go with the second set if I had to choose between the two. I think the 'chop is deceiving if you're going with a 17" wheel. Looks like 20's in the pic, lol!

No, I think he's onto something. Go with a dark wheel without the polished lip. I would try to find something with less spokes. I'm not into the body kit though...too much clutter. OEM would look far better.

Black wheels with a polished lip are played out, everyone's got them. I am just looking for something different. I like both wheels but can't decide I am not necessarily looking for the car to flow. The first wheel puts a lil variety in the car...yeah I don't have red on my car but who cares. The second wheel just looks sexy as hell so who knows....still currently deciding!
Re: New wheel choices....need input
i really like the tenzos im also debateing on those my cars teff white so i think it would look better on my car. but i really want some contrast from a lip because it kinda looks like your sporting hubs without it. oh yea go to wheelfire.com and u can see those rims on your car in 3D.

i'd go with the second set. 
word of advise, when you finally get your wheels in 17", compared to your pics they will be like day and night in the size department and your car will look quite different. you'll lose the illusion that your car is lower than it really is. as far as looks go that's a bad thing.
if you're thinking of a size close to the ones in your pic you might want to look into a set of 18" or even 19". just thought i'd let you know because when i first started out i bought a set of 17's and they appeared to be quite large until i mounted them to the car. i ended up selling them 3 months in and switched to 18's. thousands of dollars later i'm now at 19" and the car finally looks the way i wanted it to. don't look at it as spending an extra $200 or $300 dollars, look at it like i'll spend the money now so it looks just right and you'll be saving a lot more by not having to continually upgrade.

actually it depens on the style of the rim the tenzos in the second pick if u notice extends to the lip its like an optical allusion so 18s would actually appear to be 20s

Re: New wheel choices....need input
WTF! You're still posting about this!!!!??
Get the tenzo's Damnit!!!!

Edit:
By the way, get 18's. they're great. I had 18's and never once wished that I got something smaller. For my next set they will also be 18's.
