Default Need Your opinions which rims should i go for?

hey guys so far in mods, i am lowered on df210 and have some window visors installed. I am currently on stock 17's and want to go 20s. I have 2 rims in mind so far but my question is, which of the two rims should i go for? Both are 3 piece rims and i do not know the name of them, however if you do please let me know. I asked the owners but they tell me a name and i would google it but i cant find that model under the companys name. The mesh rims are 20x10 with a 3.5" lip the other is 20x11 which means i will need a fender shave which is a con...
heres my car..

Yes they do. They have a mult-piece forged line. At least they used to. Contact Mike@Vossen here on the forums for more info.

Out of those 2, I like the 2nd one better. IMO vossens are nice and 2 years ago I fell in love w the CV1s and got them. Thankfully they have an amazing 5 year structural warranty, and Jav @ Vossen helped me replace a wheel which I'm am very thankful for. With all this being said, they are not the end all be all of aftermarket rims. People on CL in the past year or 2 have gone ape shhyt over Vossen. This is fine bc if u love em, u love em, and they are nice wheels. But don't be swayed by the masses, choose the wheels u fall in love with like I did w the cv1s, 2 yrs ago. I've had my sights on a couple new sets for a while now. VIP wheels and forged wheels are damn expensive!

sorry to go a little off topic, but with the lowering did you get an alignment yet? able to adjust camber and toe back to normal or close?

I think the Mesh ones look better, but like Mr3gs300 stated earlier in the end its whatever rims you desire cause you will see them 100% of the time not us. Just my two-cents
