Hopefully after posting I can decide. The two rims are Hartge Classic II's and the other are the Ace Executives. The Hartge are replicas. I know reps are frowned upon here, but at this time the reps and the Aces are in my price range due to budget. Let me know which one of the two would you choose n why. Thanks!

They just look so good. Replicas have come a long way. A few good vendors i can recommend.
But not like Tenzo-R lol

Get some Breyton Race GTS's. 20's will definately be in your budget. If your set on those 2 sets my fav. is the Hartge for sure.

Given these 2 options, it's a no-brainer. Hartge wins out in a landslide. However, make sure you look around....100's of styles out there. Good luck!

I love the Hartage Calssic II, they are well........classic.
I am more of an OEM look kinda guy rather than deep dish so i think they look super cool and dont deviate too far from what the BMW designers intended for the car.
