MM Cello vs Borbet Type B (archive)

I have a 1980 BMW 528i. I'd like to get 16" wheels. I am considering these two wheels, but can't decide. Here is what I'm thinking so far.

Mille Miglia Cello - Nice radial spoke design, looks close to stock turbine wheels (I liked to keep it somewhat stock looking).

Borbet Type B - Style may look a bit too modern for my tastes, but out of all the five spoke designs, I like these the best. They are cheaper and also wider by 1/2 inch.

Which in your opinion are better quality wheels? What are the weights of these wheels? What is the max size tire I can fit on the 7" vs. 7.5". I'd like to use 225/50 16s on the rear. Would the 7" wheels be able to handle these?

Any and all comments greatly appreciated.
