Which Rims Should I Get?

I want to get 18s for my car, I currently have chromed stock CLS rims. I like these two which do you think would look better, and can anyone (rondog) photoshop them on my car. Thanks.

#1 is just wicked, but I think it looks a bit cartoonish. I'd get #2 out of them 4

I'm liking the 5th ones I posted and the 1st ones the best. The 4th ones have too much space between spokes. I'm gonna get these once I figured I have worn my 17" tires. I think I got another 3-4K on them. Then I will get new rims and 18" tires. I don't want to spend more then $3K for rims and tires.

Gimmie some other pics then, Remember I don't like skinny spokes or a lot of space between them.

The 5th one you posted looks the best to me (with the vertical SPAZIO label). But seeing them on the car would be the decisive factor. Here's why they appeal to me. One reason for getting bigger rims is cause chrome looks better than rubber. So what happens? A lot of these bigger rims have tiny spokes so the actual view is mostly of brake pads or rotors! Its better than looking at more rubber but still not the best balance. Those last rims you posted have enough chrome to hide the inner mechanics.

Dude I slept with a girl from that town, on spring break.. Shit I can't remember her last name. I got to think about it. I remember wearing her shirt from high school. This was last year.
