yes the second ones are the new ones. as in the other thread most people in the US liked the tops ones and most people in the UK/Ireland liked the others.
in the US the second set are considered more euro. people put them on vdubs and such. but regardless they both look good. are the second set 18 inch btw?
Both are nice wheels. The first set are my personal favorite because its a simple and bold design (wish they made more wheels like those in the states, personally...) but the second ones are a little more exciting to look at.
Plus I think the new ones would look great with a 96+ front bumper. >>
