I don't like #4 at all.

I'm having a really hard time picking between the other 3, they all look nice.
If I HAVE to put them in a order of which I like better... it would be #3, 2, 1.

I have found rims for this car are very difficult to get the right look, personally I have gone though over 10 sets in the 2 plus years i have owned it. Finally i settled on the Rota rb. I like your number 2 only cause I like a deep dish wheel. So whatever I say , go the exact opposite you will make a better choice then me.

I don't care for any of them, but #1 in a silver with polished lip might be great. I am not a fan of dark wheels.
