#2 is forged (if OE) and also likely cheaper in the used quasi take off market. As forged, 28.2 pounds , making it way less than 21" S8 porkers. Style isn't quite right to me when I see it in pictures, but on street in general its okay. Doesn't make me say, wow, cool factory wheels. #1 probably gets the look advantage and what I would likely pick (in a cast), but style points are very subjective. I do prefer OE wheels for strength and resale in general. Both have various finish options.

Personally I think #1 would look better on an S8 and silver/black wheels don't always look clean.

I like #1. Suits the style of the car better, I think. #2 would go well on a Golf.
