if its out of those 2, the first ones. 2nd lot are too small of a wheel to be on something like a GT.

Get the first ones. As B2TF said those second one are way to small to be on a GT. I wouldn't put them onto a falcon let alone a GT.

The first wheels are great, would look sweet in the GT! I assume you have a dark coloured car?

I have the first wheels on my ute (AU, 17" XHP Saber, machined)

I didn't like the chrome ones, the machined ones look alot better on my ute.

If you are putting 19's on have you considered the GTP wheel? A fantastic wheel that really suits the car IMO.

I like walkinshaw's choice. I don't like the GTP 19's. I think the GTP 18's were a better rim.
