Default vertini riviera-s vs. hennesy

What's up guys?

I would like your feedback concerning these two rims in a 20" application for my black GS350. I'm considering the Vertini Riviera-S and the Vertini Hennessey.

The Hennessey is a classic split spoke design, a design that has been proven to be a winner with the GS3 over and over. It's elegant and works with the car hands down.

On the flipside, mesh wheels are too, a classic design which in many styles also work well with the GS. I find these particular mesh wheels to be more "exciting" (I can't think of a better word atm) than the Hennessey.

I value all intelligent feedback and opinions, so feel free to let me have it =)
Thank you all in advance, the pics are below.

Vertini Riviera-S

If anyone can photoshop the Riviera onto a black GS3 I would GREATLY appreciate it!!

Hm 1st one is a solid choice. 2nd one could look really good but on the G35, doesn't look too great. You can ask someone to photoshop it for you in the photoshop forum. They usually respond pretty quickly. Off topic..anyone know that model's name?

yeah i agree (on both statements ) ...the reason i was even leaning towards the mesh is because i see the first style around a LOT (vossen, work, asanti, auto couture, aciona, etc...) on many cars, not necessarily the GS. Also, the GS imo is the largest lexus that can pull off the mesh wheels and still have it look appropriate.

i think the riviera looks more unique.

you don't want a cookie cutter look.

At least she has great taste in cars!!!

I would go with the Riviera, they stand out more to me!

Vertini Riviera-S, nothing beat IMHO the split spoke design... (and the model!)

(nice car in the 2nd Dunnojack Chop! :-) )
