Default Wheel help! I need opinions

OK so the low down is, 4 different rim choices all are the same cost at $500-$600 for the set staggered. Take a look I will list sizes, offsets and projected tire sizes. Please poll the rim choice for best looking and comment on tire sizes and please correct me if I show a tire size that wont fit on a 2000 gs400that will be on coilovers slammed as far as possible to reasonably drive daily. Thanks for the help guys. I can also roll cut and pull fender wells as needed for best fit.

I don't like any of them, but if I had to pick one if any. It would come down to the stern mesh.

you cant tell but the lip on the 4th one is actually bigger than the first its 4 inches and the lip on the first rim is a tad over 3inches. I have all these rims in person at a buddy's shop so I ve seen them in person and not a catalog page. My mind is right on track with all of you so far, Im torn between the two.

I chose the 4th because it comes in 20's. If you can get the 1st in 20's, get the 1st one instead.

Thanks for voting guys, Im leaning towards the first ones but on monday or tuesday I'm going to price tires. After the tire prices are known hopefully the first ones are still on the plate. I take it my tire sizes look to be right on par then since nobody went o.O thoses sizes wont work?
