Default Which 'rims'?

This will be my first mod for the au, the colour of the au is meteorite.

Lowering will also be done at the same time, just wondering which rim you would choose if you had to choose one of the below rims.

Either first or last would be my best two choices.

Some really nice wheels there, where are they from?

I really like 'BLUPRNT XR8's wheels, kinda got in love with black/shadowchrome combo. So yea if people can show me some decent looking black/shawowchrome combo's that would be awesome, can't find anymore on the tempetyre site

yea it would be awesome if someone was able to photoshop some of them onto an au, all of them really.
Well i've kinda got a good idea on which set i want, but should i go 18" or 17" is there a big difference in handling etc? And yes will be lowered ofcourse.
