Choosing between these two rims
I have it narrowed down to two different rim options from MRR. I will be doing either one in carbon flash. I have an Elkhart Blue HTC Z51 ordered with black accents and edge red calipers.

Not even close, the above one by far -- simple and strong design. The vehicle has A LOT going on visually, busy rims like the others you showed and the OEM trident spoke ones just take an already somewhat messy and busy vehicle design and exacerbate the problem. Keep it clean, strong and simple -- the above look is killer.

Not even close! The NES FG X are a bespoke design that is symmetrical and can be rotated from side to side. The first design is a knockoff of the C7 ZR1 wheel that is asymmetric and should be location specific if ordered properly. Therefore the ZR1 design wheels will change to a reversed design look if rotated from side to side. The FG X wheels are far more interesting in its dual primary and secondary level 2 blade design, centerlined on each lug nut. And the forged FG X is approximately 6 to 7 pounds lighter per wheel for a dramatic lower rotational inertia. You will be able to feel that performance difference. Since you are doing the Carbon Flash accent color on the vents, nacelles, top and A pillars make sure the wheels are Carbon Flash(Metallic Black) and not plain gloss Black for a integrated metallic black look throughout the entire car.

Def not the C7ZR1 wheels. makes it look dated & derivative imho.
not a huge fan of the 2nd design either, pretty busy design.
buy what you like, it's your car

Neither, if we are being honest. The above comment about the car already being busy begs for simpler and sleeker wheel designs, IMHO.

For everyone saying none of the above I am wondering what you do prefer? Stock or something else you have seen aftermarket?

Don’t do first. It’s not a ZR1 wannabe is it ?
