What rims should I keep?

Hey guys,
So I'm going through my pile of rims, and decided it was time to settle on one set. I have 4 sets of rims, and can't decided what set I think suits best. I have my own opinion, but looking for others.
Here's 3 pics of my car with the rims, and the other set is the 95 z28 style
Keep in mind, I plan on wrapping them with BFG radial T/A's

Here's the good ol' 5 spoke (not the best pic of the rims, but you all know what they look like)


Here's a set of AR that I think set off my car nicely


Here's a set of Firebird rims that I got off my parts car temporarily.


And the 95 z28 rims

Stock wheels are, IMHO, better than your other current options.

Or sell all 4 sets & use that $ to buy exactly what wheels you really want.

Keep the originals, just to have the opportunity to "fall back", and sell the other 3 to buy some Centerlines

If it's solely a choice between what you already own, I'd stay stock. If you were to sell them to buy new ones, I'd go with the Chrome Aftermarket Iroc rims (I'm a sucker for the stock look).
