looking for 19 inches for alpine white E60, just got the Mtech, so no money for those forged wheels, so come to two wheels, please let me know what do you think and which one will you pick

I prefer the F14.
but also found the picture for F05, looks good too
i like both, so cant decide
19's with a lip makes the wheels look smaller and also not a fan of 5 spoke wheels.

My Ride: 2008 535i Monaco blue/cream beige, light poplar trim, sport, nav, premium, Logic 7, 6 speed manual
My other rides:
Departed: 2006 530xi Silver gray/black, anthracite maple trim, cold, sport, nav, premium, Logic 7, 6 speed steptronic, bluetooth, adaptive xenons
Departed...2002 525i White/beige, 5 sp manual
F14. No...F05. No... 
Sorry...I can't decide either 
I'm thinkin that since black spokes don't really show up that much once they're on the car, the lip on the F05 might be the most striking feature, even though I don't really care for the spokes themselves so much..
Just my .20 worth....

Here is my AW with F14s, just got them will post some better pics tomorrow
black wheels dont look clear at night, do you think about getting white pin strip on those black wheels?
i think you have matte black, not piano black right? what do you think of piano black?
