Cool what rims do you guys like better?

Im having a hard time choosing rims so lately I've just been asking lots of ppl for their opinions. Maybe if I hear enough opinions I'll realize something that I couldnt see myself or something. Yes, I am aware that they are both completely different and I also know a lot of you guys dont like chrome wheels on rx7's. Opinions would be apreciated though :P

The SSR professors, because SSR is a known and trusted name brand, not some generic $700 a set wheel.

I would like the second ones better if they weren't chrome. as in, I like the pattern of the second ones more than the first, but they would look a lot better if they were solid white or gun metal or bronze or something. As they are in the links, I vote for #1
