What color car/trim? Bottom ones may be nicer on a white/gold or black/gold. I think they're a bit ugly because of it, but they would match gold package SC well.

Going on wheels alone; top, but I am starting to get sick of that mesh style. Loved em at first, but have seen em SO much lately.

Good info on offset

I thought a +38 mm offset was the best offset for the SC for the wheels to be flush with the fenders without any rubbing or needing fender modifications...

I like the first wheel better. I would prefer CCW Classics to the first wheels, though, and a host of other nice mesh wheels with thick, polished lips.

The second wheel looks a little like the Diablo wheels without the space in between the spokes.

8 with 38mm offset will be sunk like a battleship, especially in the rear. Staggered is the only way to go!

Check the wheel fitment/offset thread for insight:

Usually I'd say the 5 spokes because everybody's doing the mesh thing, but in this case the mesh do look better.

i actually like the second one better...

and if i had to do a 9.5" wide i would have a 0 to a +5 offset in the rear and maybe a +10 in front
