Which of these wheels suit the E85 best?

I'm upgrading to 19" wheels this season and I've narrowed it down to 2 choices:

1. 19" M6GC: http://www.cmwheels.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=60_91_92_302&product_id=886 - I already have these in 18" and they suit a sterling grey Z4 very nice.

2. 19" Strom DS15: http://www.bmautosport.co.uk/showroom/product_info.php/new-strom-ds15-directional-alloys-matt-silver-with-matt-polished-face-deeper-concave-rears-p-5150?cPath=51_27_134_46_298 - never seen these on a Z before so it will be taking a chance. They look very nice on an E92 but on a Z?

What do you think?
 
1st set are much nicer. Set 2 like many others will look odd on one side of the car or the other as the spokes will be 'sloping' in the wrong direction. Even major manufacturers don't bother with this detail that annoys me no end.
 
I am too looking for new wheels and I don't really like the look of the M6 wheels. I prefer the M4 style. I am sort of settled on the Mak Luft wheels in 19". It was difficult to find some on a Z4 on the net but did manage to find these pictures:

Tap in Mak Luft into ebay. There's a seller from Italy who has the cheapest prices.
 
It seems to be unanimous that Set 1 is preferable to 2.
Do you ever consider the ease of cleaning the rims when choosing ?
 
The first set look very similar to the stock M wheels - would they be an option? Not sure if there are figment differences between the 3.0 and M so ignore if this is stupid suggestion :)

I do exactly this! Multispokes are an absolute nightmare to clean. I tend to go for big chunky spokes with space to put my hand in between and reach the barrels/brake calipers.

Anything else is just effort! :lol:
 
First set is too busy for the E85 and the second one is too aftermarket-ish for my taste.

I think I got a picture of an E85 with the 1st set. Let me dig it up.

EDIT: Found it, doesn't play nice with the Z4 curves IMHO..

EDIT again: Just realized you already have a set of these on lol. My bad for not reading properly.
 
Whhooaaa :o step well back from the second set mate :cry: can only imagine GavPs Z pulling those off as a show car

Not really....the M6CG are a nightmare to clean but I do it every other week anyways :D

Thanks for all your input so far....I'm also leaning towards set 1. 8)
