Help me pick some wheels

Alright, I'm enlisting the help of the 1st gen section for this. Now I know some of you are purists and say I should only put panasport of other old school style rims, but lets save that arguement for another thread. Here are what I'm looking at.
[list=1][*]Rota Subzero - gunmetallic, no polished lip
[*]Rota Subzero - Black w/ polished lip
[*]Rota Circuit 8 - gunmetal with polished lip
[/list=1]

Ideally I'd like gunmetal Subzero's w/ a polished lip, but those aren't available. I can get any solid color on either wheel, but only those options with a polished lip, and I like the lip

FYI, here is the car (picture it with black tinted windows as well) and the wheels are going to be 16x7's (pictured are 14's)

Ok, the polished lip looks good, but I don't care as much for the curved spokes of the Circuit 8's. Given the choices listed here, I'd have to go with the Subzero in Gunmetal despite the lack of a lip...

I looked at the Konig Imagine's but I don't want to go all the way up to 17's, and their black pearl is a tad flashier than I want.. Aren't those heavy too? The subzeros are 14lbs, the C8's are 14.5...

They look kiiler on Max7's car though.... I envy it. (besides, they're $$$)

If you want my opinion (which, given the thread title, I'm assuming you do), I would go with Volk Racing TE-37s in bronze with like 14-16 inch diameter. That's my 2c.

I think he's looking for something less expensive than Volk.

I think the Circuit 8 is the better match for your car.
