Default advice on rims

there are so many companies out there, and i see either rims that are 100-200 a piece or rims that are well over $1000 a piece... so it looks like im in the low end range due to budget....

looking for a black rim with many spokes [very similar to the gti 20th anniversary rims] that arent too crappy and not rice. im not looking for rice just a sexy black rim..

here are two proposed rims, what do you think of the brands/quality, etc..

Spent about $400 on the ones I have. Check the sig.

Cheap(er) BBS wheels are out there. Granted, they will not be brand new, or in the best of condition, but they still look good!
