Wheel A. I don't think there should be any black on a wheel. Wheel A is nicer either way.

Wheel A
Don't have a problem with having some black to highlight a wheel but design A is altogether cleaner to my eyes.

Your eye is drawn by the longer spikes of A which make the wheel look bigger than B. For me A every time.

I don't think the AM wheels are particularly attractive, but if pushed the A. Much nicer aftermarkets out there IMHO.

Out of interest is there a weight difference between the 2 designs, the design of A gives the impression of it being lighter.

Definitely A but with black "innards" (not that I'm biased of course smile )

A is the V2 sport pack wheel so lighter and wider
Better for grip and handling IME

Either, but add the black! I love my 'B-type' ones, although I was originally looking for the 'A-type', but as soon as I saw a pic of mine with gloss black, I knew what I wanted.

Clearly we all love our own more, so just look around for images (that's what I did), then go for whatever floats your boat!

I much prefer design A. They are my favourite OEM AM Vantage wheel.

And my old set just so happen to be for sale in the classifieds... wink

It's also the lightweight wheel option for the GT/N430. Costs an additional $3,800 over the standard B wheel here in the US.

I don't usually like the B style, but it sure does look a lot better with the gloss black IMHO.

Agree with that, looks fantastic with the gloss black inner.
