I am not big on any of them. But as stated earlier, if I had to put on a set it would be #1 and than it would be only if I was forced to put them on.

However Mr. Bill it is your car your money so go for what moves you.

Surely some 22 inch spinners would be a better choice.

Keep what you have, the others look like SUV or truck wheels.

I like most deep dish better than the flush look you are running now. I like the no. 1 wheel best because it looks lighter (like less wheel) than the others. I like the way the spokes curve inward and they would be quite a bit different than what most anyone else runs. The nearest like them I have seen are CCW's but first ones are maybe even better than the CCW look.
