Cool Narrowing Down Rims

Hey Guys, I need some help narrowing down rims for my Black CL. Here are the 5 18" rims I'm considering, but I'm not sure which ones I like most...Your C&C as to which ones I should get would be appreciated Oh and sorry for the relatively large pics...I didn't really feel like rehosting them, lol.

Riax Seca Black
Riax Zuka Hyper Black
TSW Catalunya Hyper Black
Motegi FF7 Black or Hyperblack
Drag DR9 Black or Hyperblack

TSW Hyperblack Catalunyas

and I think Subuzz has the Riax Zuka Hyperblacks

The Motegi's look nice, especially if they will have a nice lip on them

Sweet, thanks guys, especially subbuzz and jonni for the pics. Seems like the popular vote is for the ff7's. Definitely helps me out

What color do you think they should be though, black or hyperblack?

Yeah, I can't get a decent pic of them to do so though, plus they're not as easy to buy as the Motegi's???

Eh those are alright, I've seen better. Anyways, I think I'm going for the black rims, if I ever paint my car then they will still match
