Honestly I've never liked mesh rims....
But the black with the polished lip and those tires looks SWEET
It's a similar look to what I'm doing with mine... For the illusion of it, I have my '+' rims painted black, and am running whitewall tires. It looks really good, at least until I can afford aftermarket rims

Edit: For the guys who think the hood scoop is in the wrong place, pop your hood some time
Centre hood scoops are for the Top-Mounted Intercoolers of FCs, which we don't have. If you had a scoop dead centre, you'd need piping to route the air to your air cleaner anyway. That's a good location for the scoop IF he was using the stock air filter canister, which he's not. He's running turbo. So now you should pop your hood and notice the placement of your exhaust manifold. His scoop brings cold air into the exhaust side of the engine to cool the turbo, the exhaust and as an added bonus, the air that his turbo and intake are taking in I belive . YES it looks dorky where it is, YES it looks out of place, but it is functional, or will be when he mounts it. My suggestion is to move it around a bit and see if you can mount it lower, but sink the back end flush with the hood so that it looks like it's formed into the hood, not propped on top of it.

BBS and Riken made the most mesh rims, IIRC. There are a few others, but they escape me at the moment.
I thought Tornado was a silver? I know mine is the v9 code metalic grey..
