the one on the left looks hot, but i dont think chrome goes well on grey cars. So in your case i would say black, if you black out your side markers as well [to keep the flow of your car]

I like the one on the right. Reminds me a little bit of BMW rims, but that's not neccesarily a bad thing.

I'm for the left , I'll always go for a 5 branch / center hub deeper inset / branches sticking outwards increasinly from center towards edge = perfect wheel recipe (just like Iroc Z wheels) . I've seen these particular ones (left choice) in person on a Blk Prelude last gen and they are the shit ! Go gunmetal .

Talking

The exel on the far right. I looked at those before I had bought my ASA's. I loved those, but was afraid of the offset (did not want to have to roll the fenders). I think that they make them in hyper black(?). That would look awesome on your car! Great looking rims, though.

I like the one on the right, but it looks like it will be a bitch to clean.

If you are set on these 3 only.... then I would go for one of the mesh ones. I'm not sure what color your car is though....
