Default Which wheels to get? GT3s or Supermesh? Opinions wanted

Ok so after finding out that 3 of my tires needed to be replaced, I have decided to just go ahead and get my rims and tires now, even though it is a lot sooner than I had planned. The only thing now is that I am having a hard time deciding between the two remaining wheels.

I am pretty set on doing red. I have wanted red wheels ever since I got the car. And I have narrowed the wheels down to either the Rota GT3s or the Konig Supermesh.

I will be doing 16x7 +40mm offset. with 205/45 R16 Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport tires

So heres some pictures of each. let me know what you think. I'll keep which one I am leaning towards to myself for now so that there is no biased towards them.

EDIT: oh and the white civic is the one I drive now. not the red hatch in my sig. thats my old car.

Also what color lugs do you think would look good with them?

Heres the Rota GT3s. I am sure many of you are familiar with them.





And heres the Konig Supermesh. I couldn't find a picture of a white civic with the red ones, but just act like the pink wheels are red. If someone wants to do a quick chop then you are more than welcome to.

The GT3's give a cleaner look, the Supermesh look to busy, IMO. Either black or polished lugs.

I vote Supermesh. I love GT3s and wanted some for my hatch, but soooo many people have them I can't bring myself to buy them. There is a white coupe locally that has some Gold Supermesh's and it looks clean as hell.

Supermesh's look better. Seeing that white coupe makes me want mine to be painted white instead of gunmetal. I love it!

well it looks like everyone seems to feel the same way that I do. I was already leaning toward the supermesh, and after I saw the chop that trust did i pretty much made up my mind.

I'm not 100% on the lugs yet, but I am going to do something in black.

ya definetely just ordered the supermesh. And got some Muteki SR35s in black open ended. I'm hella excited. As soon as they come in i'm gonna get them wrapped in some Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sports and call it a day.

Should have gotten some Neo Chrome lugs. Looks sick with red.
