Its definatly between the first and the third. The second is something you'd see on an Impala or similar type car. Just my opinion.

The third one looks like the ccw 505a wheel, except with rivets. Depending on how much those wheels cost, you might want to check them out. They look cleaner IMO.

Out of the wheels listed, I'll go with #3. I like five spoke wheels.

I would use wheels on my car (not rims) and those three...none of them, they look like truck wheels.

3rd one, or a 5 spoke version of the 1st one. I would opt for no rivets

Re: Wich rim would you use on your car?

5 spoke rims fit these cars better(or design with 10 spokes 2 being narrow)

I would like to see a 6 spoke style though as i think that would also look great.

1st and 3rd look good. I think i would end up with the 3rd choice on my car.

Re: Wich rim would you use on your car?

How about ... none of them. Those would all be ugly on these cars.

However, on a car like the new Chrysler 300, I would go with the 3rd one.
