The first ones. However the 2nd are copies of the MS Tourings/AVS 7s, and they're nice too.

wheel no.1, but no.3 came close also.
wheel no.2 is straight out of the 90s. big no from me.

I'd probably go a bronze over the black - there's a red BA Hatch in the gallery (cgunther) with bronze on red, and it looks surprisingly good

hm.. looks like wheel 1 is the way to go. I really want matte black but can't find any good one. gunmetal is the only colour available for wheel 1 which won't be too bad i guess

I'm gonna agree on this one. I much like bronze rims on red or blue cars.
