Best rims for RX-7?

Throw up some pictures for your vote for best rims for the FC, it's for the project that's in my signature.

I'll pick 5 and then have a poll of which the public thinks I should make.

Any mid 90's (16 or 17 inch) 5-spoke wheels look good!

I like the sportmax, that might be one that I might try to put on the 7.

They're called "Sportmax 002's" if you need to know the model number

When I had my FC, TE-37's just came out and I wanted some really bad. 17x8.5 and 17x9.5. +15's. Some old Option mag had a company that sold this combo and it looked ****.

...lately I've come to like Work VS-KF's on FC's. Stock R33 GT-R rims aren't bad either.

OR...GO 19's

I have allways liked Volk/Rays GT-C, put a set on in 2002, But i also like to be unique. They are fare too common/popular now.
