Wheel rims

[Oysterquartz]

Hi!
Currently choosing rims for the winter wheels. What do you think? There is a $2k difference between these? Is there any difference?
The first picture is $2k cheaper. Both are 20 inches.

I prefer the top one.

I marginally prefer the bottom ones...but not even close to $2000 more!

I live in Sweden, where the tax is higher including other stuff, and a 10% discount, which leads to it being $2000 more.

I simply meant, I like the bottom ones more, but they wouldn’t be worth anywhere near $2000 more to me personally. I’m sorry, my wording was a little confusing!

Ah, okay! No problem! I personally agree, but not sure if there was any difference except the rims ?

Money no object - Turbo S wheels - look easier to keep clean too.

Same tyres, same size of wheel - no perceived advantage of one over the other I'd say.

Possibly worth pointing out how 'enclosed' the second set is i.e. your painted calipers and discs will be almost entirely covered - now as a winter wheel some might view that as beneficial For me personally I dislike the enclosed 'disc-like' look and would go with the cheaper optoin as I suspect when on the car they might look a lot better. I roughly outlined in a white overlay where all the plastic covering is as it may not be as apparent to those that have not seen the wheel in person.

I have the top ones on my 4S and they worked well last winter

Thanks everyone for your help, I went with the cheaper rims!

I also have the top ones (the cheaper ones) and used them last winter. Think I saw both in real life and prefer the ones I have.

They look really good!

My view re winter rims has always been that they have a much higher chance of getting damaged than a summer rim ie not seeing curb / road edge due to snow build up, more chance of a slide leading to damage, high salt exposure etc as such pick a rim that will have a lower repair cost. While the Turbo S ones look lovely the black painted sections and polished finish will cost more to repair
