Daaan, those both look real nice. I like the first one better. One thing I'm cautious about is areas that will be hard to keep clean. And those cut outs would make me nervous. If you don't drive much and like to spend time detailing, it won't be a concern. But for me, small holes that a swipe of a sponge won't catch are problematic and will look bad as brake dust and other dirt can accumulate quickly.
I agree with bamaboy above, aftermarket wheels really set a truck apart from the rest. For me in particular, is getting a wheel offset and tire size that gives a more aggressive stance.
Lastly, at least where I'm from, the finish of aftermarket wheels is no where near the quality of OEM. The roads here get salted regularly... and so I slap some bigger rubber on my factory wheels and use these in the winter salt season. By doing this my aftermarket wheels stay nice looking for many years.

You can also Plastidip your aftermarket wheels for the winter too. Works pretty good.
