If they are for winters then I'd say go PF unless you specifically want FL wheels to match an FL car.

The face of the PF wheel is more protected than the FL version as that sticks out further and is more prone to kerbing etc. damage.

Though getting them, and especially a set of centres, may be less easy.

What is your car by the way? If it's PF then 17" Avus wheels will also fit over the brakes; I had those on my first S8 for winter.
