Question Which wheel to choose?

I am needing to buy some new tires for my Black GS400, and I figure this is a good time to buy new wheels. I would like to go from my current stock chrome 17" wheels, to 18" wheels. I've narrowed down my choices to the group of rims below. I know they are not top of the line, but I don't believe there are any knock-offs (please correct me if there are). These all fit into my style preference and price range. These are all 18x8. Which would you pick from this group?

A: B:
C: D:
E: F:
G: H:

D F G get my vote. I would consider some of the wheels people have posted in the classifieds recently too. There are some killer deals for you.

you really like tire rack stuff, eh?

I'd take F, E, and H in that order. You might also look the SSR GT3 or GT1, or OZ Superleggera.

I like H, F, A in that order. What about the Moda R6? Nice and simple.

Thanks for the responses everyone!

Wheel Experts: I'm not particularly married to TireRack, they just have a good price on the tires I want (Sumi HTR+), and I figured it would be easiest to buy a package from them. I could always be convinced to buy from someone else with a little persuasion. :-)

How much would the 18" GT1, GT3 and OZ Superleggara run from you?
