Default Which Wheel?

I've been trying to decide on a new set wheels for one of my cars for the longest time. I've been looking all day today and I have found four that I think would work well on the car. Tell me which you like and feel free to make suggestions. If so, size needs to be 17x7, 40 offset, 5x100 bolt pattern or 17x7.5, 38-35 offset, 5x100 bolt pattern.

Here's the car they're going on:



Drag DC-9:





Konig Britelite:





Konig Illusion:



Primax 925:



*not the Chromium finish

Gotta be the Konig Illusion: this is one of those instances where the black / red combination will work well against the body colour and tint of the vehicle.

I like the clean look. Nothing too fancy or showoff. I voted Primax 925

Just going by appearance, i like the Illusions. But If i had to go with Normal use, I'd have to say the Primax as Well. It just looks like it would be a nice looking Wheel.

Like the Illusion but might be overkill for the car. I think the Primax would look real good, simple, yet aggressive.

I like the first pattern design but instead of gold i think a gun metal type finish would look pretty killer against that bright red.

I also voted for the Primax 925 in "Chomium Black" (isn't it supposed to be Chromium... Anyway that's what is on their website).

I like simplicity and elegance and these fit my criteria!

Gahhhhhh! Why is shopping for wheels so hard?

Thanks for all the suggestions but it looks like two of them just got knocked off.

The Primax. While I will agree is a classy looking wheel that I would think fits well with the car, sadly they're not the best quality from what I've been reading. Not surprising as they're only $99 per wheel. That's pretty cheap. Plus they're 22 pounds per wheel. That's a jump of 12 pounds all around from my current wheels.

The Illusions. I like the look of them and I know Konig wheels are pretty decent for the money. However, I've been trying to find them on a car. Well, I just did and I don't like what I see.





The spokes come out, and then back in. So, you can probably see the wheels sticking out beyond the edge of the lip. There's nothing I can't stand more on a wheel than the spokes sticking out further than the lip.
