The 1st isn't doing too much for me.

I agree that in the 2nd one, it would've been a lot nicer had the entire car been in focus. Unless of coarse you want to showcase the rims. So it depends on what you want the viewers to see the car as contrasted by the setting? or the rims (wheels) as contrasted by the rest of the car and then the setting?

I think the 2nd has too much emphasis on the wheels right now but it has potential for sure.
