Default what do you think of these rims?

As we all know, buying rims is one of the most important car decisions you can make. The wheels can make or break your ride. I need your guys' opinion on these rims for a blue 1997 Civic sedan:

I'm thinking 17" 205 40 series, and I'm going to drop the car 1.5".

Okay, but I'm torn between that one and this one, which do you prefer?

Chrome always makes a car look better, but it also advertises it to theives. If you park your car in an indoor garage then I think the chrome ones would look fantastic!

Cool, I was leaning towards the chrome one, plus the other one has red in the middle which would probably bug me after a while. Thanks for your help. Theft really isn't a problem where I live so I'm going with the Chrome Eagles.

the design of the first one is better, but thumbs down on the chrome. Also, if you're going to drop it, drop it FIRST! 17's with wheelgap look terrible.
