Default Which wheels?

I'm looking at wheels since I'm considering getting some good summer tires, and I figured if I do that, might as well take a look at some rims while I'm at it, and came across there two:

--OR--

Which do you guys think I should get - if either?

This is for a WHITE Mazda6 - http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2283979

I like the first one.

Just be careful on the backspacing.

Stock 17x7" is a 60mm offset
If your adding 0.5" (12.7mm) to the width and want the width to mostly to the outside of the wheel (evening up the wheel with the fender), go with a 48-52mm offset.

Did you ever check out the tire rack website? They have a neat feature that lets you see all the different wheels on your model car. I bought some winter tires mounted on a set of wheels and their service was great, really fast and everything was perfect. I highly recomend them.

I liked the first ones, but I guess you would have to think about what kind of tires you are going to put on those wheels and see how much its going to set you back.

I don't know what it is about those Verde wheels... they just aren't doing anything for me. guess its all in personal preference so that's not my style.

I like both the rims you posted; it all depends on which you like better. How are you choosing your rims, by how its going to look on your car? Personally I would go with the seoncd set on a white car just because the glossy black stands out more to me. The first set is nice, but doesn't stick out so much.

I just got these today instead of the MHT GT's I was originally going to purchase for my Blue M6.

Bought the black ones.
