Give me your opinion on these wheels

I have picked out several wheels that I will probably make my final decision from. I am trying to keep the cost down ($200 per wheel or less), because I have alot of other mods I would like to do as well. I just wanted to get some opinions on which wheels people preferred. Also, does anyone know what wheels Racing Beat used on their Silver RX-8? I really like those as well, but they may be out of my price range. I haven't decided 100% on the sizes, but I am pretty sure I will stay with an 18, but go wider than the stock wheels and tires. They are as follows from left to right:

1. 5Zigen RX-6
2. Konig Prophet
3. Konig Reasons
4. Privat Profil
5. Kazera KZT

Of those, I personally prefer the 5Zigen. They look a bit like the SSR Comp's, IMHO.

Cheers!

Ha! They do don't they. They were probably my least favorite. I really want at least a 6 spoke wheel. I think that personally, my favorite at this time is the Konig Prophet wheels.

I don't do any kind of racing, street or track, so unless the weight would affect my mgp, it wouldn't be an issue with me.

Weight should still be an issue regardless if you are racing or not. If you add weight you will affect the handling and shock dampening. Day to day driving will suffer.
