I would prefer the first as well,,,I know your looking for that time attack look(red accent on lip) to match your car, but it also be safe to go with a black rim with a polished lip that would compliment the pounds of chrome accents on the SKY,,,
You could also paint all that chrome black ,,, that would be awesome,,,

What is the weight of each wheel?
On aesthetics alone and if it were my car I'd take the 2nd set. The mesh will look much cleaner on a Sky IMHO. More "Opel-ish". I'd also probably take a look at that same set or something comparable with a polished lip instead of the time attack look. That red lip doesn't do anything for me and, even if you like it now, I think it has the potential to get old quick.
You might also like this one. I don't know if Tenzo is a big baller brand or not, but I don't think Kazera is either. In an 18x8 size the wheel weight is 22.6lbs...

Just did some more searching and it looks like Tenzo just released a "version 2" of these "Type M" wheels that come with a polished lip. Same sizes still offered; 17x7, 18x8, 19x10 and 19x8.5...

The wheels don't come out until Late August... I'm still trying to find out the weights.
I'm leaning towards the second set too actually...
