I really need all of your help!

Well ill prob be getting new wheels in a week or so. I have narrowed down my choices to 4 styles of wheels. But between them I cant chose. My friends have given me different advise so I will leave it up to the "Pros" on the forum. If you have a specific reason why you want a certain wheel please feel free to explain why. Thanks alot and Ill let you know what the final decision is.


The Car:



Option 1:
I like the simple design of the wheel which is why I originally had something similar on the car.


Option 2:
This is prob my least fav of the 4 choices. I saw it on a few other balts and it is growing on me but Its almost too cluttered.


Option 3:
This one I am still undecided. Like number 2 its growing on me Im just not sure how it would look.


Option 4:
A twist on the factory large five spokes. Simple and clean.

So get a bigger tire. I ran 40 profile tires on my 18"s when I had them....but stock SS/SC wheels use a 45 profile tire.

And wear? Huh? I run a 35 profile tire on my 19"s....daily driven....works just fine for me. I put about 25-30k on my car a year mind you...all on the 19"s/35 profiles.
