Default Help me decide, rims A or B?

I have cut my list down to 2 sets of wheels for my 2000 Jaguar S Type. Color is Topaz. Here is the first choice

Here is the second Choice

I'd have to say the first set FTW if it's between those two. I think they'll look a bit more natural. Too shiny for my taste though- I want something a little more subtle for my topaz S type so I'm putting on the stock '03 STR wheels. I may upgrade down the road for something silver with polished lip though.

I agree with 03 ^above, of the two, the first one is by far the better choice if it were me. Think spokes just look too 'bling', whereas the wider spokes give the wheel a more meaty appearance. Hmm, that makes me hungry.

I also tend to lean away from the full chrome look on our jags...maybe a chrome lip and polished aluminum in the hub and spoke areas, but not the full wheel. To each their own however.

Will it look good with rims that big? STR wheels are the best choice,in my opinion...or if you have the money some Arden rims.

I wish I could afford the Arden wheels, but I'll settle for the STR wheels.
