Last set if any of the above for me. First two are not to my taste and are a little old-skool even for me !

Either of these appeal ?

Sorry for being so direct but...

If you want some cheaper rims then go for Autec Wizards in 7,5x17 or Sparco Tarmacs in 8x17.

None of the above in my humbled. opinion

I personally don't think these are the right cars for them type of stancy wheels. But apples and pears etc... you put on your car what you like! Its your car!

I like the 1st 2 you showed, but think the second set @sevenfourate linked to are best. If you like the 3rd set you linked to why not use the original wheels as a winter set with winter tyres on. I have a 2nd set of rims with winter tyres that I swap on to each year. Works well in our neck of the woods.

@sevenfourate the 1st ones you put on are smart. the problem I have is mine are diamond cut and they don't like winter but I have a matching pair for the front with winter tyres. I will go into the wheel specialist in inverness to see if they can powder coat my current wheels to give a similar look to the diamond cut as I do really like the speed lines esp with spacers on. Will compare the cost.

Had to chuckle at this... View attachment 116584

For me it's either stay standard, go speedlines or turnis, nothing else is acceptable:
