Default Thoughts on which wheels

Im looking for a new set for my monte, its an 04 SC SS, torch red with the silver ground effects.

Im looking at these 3,











This is how the car is now with the stock rims.


Im loving all 3 of them, what are your thoughts on what would look best?
Once i pick a set of rims i will be painting the calipers also, most likely red or silver.

I like the last ones that you posted. I think they would look great. Enough silver to still look good on the red, but just enough black to set them off.

Torn between the last one you picked and the one that monte carlo 3831 found. Kind of like the splash of color but if it wouldn't match the red of your car it would look kind of tacky. Though you maybe could pull them off paint them with GM paint and get a 100% match... Hmm now I'm leaning towards those!
