EDIT: Never mind, found them. Doesn't seem like that great of a deal since they have some curb rash and 15K miles for $1,750, and they were only around $2,000-$2,200 delivered brand new. Plus they are matte bronze, I would only want them in gunmetal (pictured in #10) or BLC.

So I'm down to my final 2 choices - one of which is a set that I almost ordered the other day before having second thoughts, the other is a used set from another forum member. I also really liked #8 (Forgestar C5VF) but don't want to be without wheels for several months while they are custom made.
Thoughts on these two? I updated both renderings with more accurate color.
Here's a different rendering on a professional pic of a SGM F. The Ace Mesh 7 on the bottom were photographed on the car (in 20") and the Vossen VFS1 on top was photoshopped.

"Normally I'd buy something that stands out and is unique, but I'm probably going to sell the car within the next 6 months (to buy a Telsa P85 ) so I want to get something that will appeal to the masses. So I thought I'd ask for a public opinion"
That's why I'm getting opinions on what other people think looks good, because what I like myself isn't always the same as what others will like. Normally I couldn't care less about what others think of my wheels, but I don't want my wheel choice to make my car harder to sell when it comes time, and I also don't want to just put stockers on it either. And not to sound like an ***, but if you don't want to give any input or read the thread - then don't click on it.

honestly bro.......none of them. I like more mesh styles or lots of spokes personally. LOL I was going to say 10 too. Do a set of Vossens like RelineAZ's. I hung out with him yesterday and his ISF is the baddest I have ever seen. Those wheels look AMAZING in person.

And I would've gone with #10 if they were still available anywhere.

If I could find a set of '12+ wheels at a good price I'd do that in a heartbeat. Those are the only OEM's I'd want to get though.

If you're getting the insurance money you mentioned in your other thread, maybe get something nice like adv.1 or bc forged. Just find something that isn't too wild, can be made quickly and don't go too crazy on width so you can run 245/35 - 275/30 on them. Keep an eye out for a set of OEM after you get the wheels and just swap them on when you sell the car. You could then probably sell your nice barely-used custom wheels on these forums (maybe need a vouch.)
Maybe its too much effort, and it might not be the most cost-effective path to take, but it may be better than selling the car with the aftermarket wheels, and in your situation it's something I'd consider.

Yeah I saw those. But they have 15k miles on them and have several curb rashes, and he was only asking about 15% less than new. Fixing the curb damage would cost several hundred dollars and basically put the set at the same as what they were new.

I vote for not going too dark. You lose some of the accent color down by the wheels and the area looks empty without somewhat of a color there. I'd stick with a graphite for the color.
