Which wheels should I get?

I've currently got a set of gunmetal Rota Circuit 8s with 205/50 Azenis Sports on them that aren't really cutting it for daily driving (a fair bit shorter than stock diameter, rough ride, poor tire wear). I've decided to get another set of 15s since I found out that 205/60 15" Falken Ziex 512s are (get this) $41 a piece from edgeracing.com!!!

Anyway, now I'll cut to the chase; which of these three sets do you guys think I should get? They're all about the same price (~450 after shipping) and they're all within a couple pounds of each other (between 11 and 13 I believe) so its really down to looks. I think I'm leaning to the slipstreams, but I think it would be pretty cool to have 2 sets of Circuit 8s and have most people wonder what the hell I was doing switching from 1 set of wheels to the exact same ones at an autocross. :p

So here they are... I'd get them all in either black or gunmetal btw.

Slipstream:

Circuit 8:


Group N:


Thanks for the input guys!

Wheels..

I think you should get group N. I have always liked Tenzo Sinkos and these are exactly like them.. Want to see what they look like on. I think they will look fantastic on a MINI..

Group N looks like the X-Lite (or have I had too many Buds ).

Out of those, I'd say either the Group-N or Slipstream. But, another wheel to consider would be the Attacks. I switched from Circuit 8s to Attacks and love the look...
