need opinions on rim choice

well i really like the look of these rims i just can't decide which one would look better? please weigh in on either the AR2 (on the left) or the AR1 (on the right) or give/show alternatives. i have a 2005 chili red/black roof mcs with black stripes, i like 17" rims.

When your car has black trim, you can never go wrong adding more black.

The black ones, it's gonna look awesome

CR/B with black wheels, sweeeet. Especially with the polished lip, a picture of your car rolling is gonna be amazing.

I'm a fan of black rims ONLY on a CR/B. So I say AR1!
