Default Wheel Opinions Needed
I'm trying to decide on a set of wheels and am having a hard time deciding which of the two wheels shown below I should go with. I would appreciate your opinion as to which one of these you like best. TIA.

1st wheel




2nd wheel

Price difference between the two is a few hundred dollars, with the first wheel being the more expensive. I'm not concerned about the price difference, though.

Biased vote for #2.

I do not like exposed bolt heads as they are a PITA to clean.

While #2 is a valid pick, black isn't an option.

I'm going for chrome/polished only.

The style and wheel finish is a personal choice, but keeping a wheel's fasteners clean is a major chore.
