Neither one are my cup of tea, but if I had only these two choices I'd opt for the 1st one.

Default well..........

i would say as for the mesh wheel, its more of a european look, and as for the wheel number 1 thats more of an import wheel so it all depends on what kinda look your going for and what type of vehicle, like for example the mesh wheel looked really good on that first gen audi, but then i think the first gen audi's look alot better than the new ones not to mention you have to consider if the vehicle is lowered that can make a dramatic effect on the look. personally for a lexus i would go with wheel number 1, but as for european vehicles mesh always looks better.

p.s all BS aside wheel one is better for a lexus..........

I'm not a huge fan of either one, but I dislike the first one least.....

Nah... car manufacturers are getting better about design. I think the stock wheels blow the two shown here away. But I do understand the desire to make their car a little more unique/personalized.

For me, unless I see something amazing I'm sticking with stock.

Out of the 2, I prefer the first. I like mesh wheels too, but I don't like the spokes of this particular mesh wheel.
