Default need help with wheels

Can anyone photo chop these onto my car and lower it 2" in front and 3 inchs in rear. I cant decide on which wheel I like, if I could see it on the car that would be very helpful. What do you think would look best? Choices from left to right are Intro-v-rod, Intro-matrix, new gen 500,bose-mesh, or rushforth-rated-x. Thanks in advance! i will be going with 18" on a stock chass. Tire choices are (F 225/40-18 and F 255/40-18) or(F 245/40-18 and R 275/40-18)

My biased vote would be the Boze Mesh (or Pro Touring)

NewGen if you are looking for the classic look or the Rushforths if you want a more modern Pro-Touring design. Either way I can get you great pricing on both.

Thanks justin. I just purchased 3" lowering spring and will be installing tomorrow. Then I need to save a few pennys and maybe in a couple months Ill be ready to buy. Ive had the other rims on my car for 22 years and I didnt spend a fraction of the price for the ones I am looking at now!, so These will be with me for a long time and I need to make the right choice

Rated-x was my first choice when I first started looking. I do like the modern look. Jason has a great wheel for sure! Then I started looking around..now I like the v-rod as well. Ill have to think about this one If I could see how these two look on my car, that might help thanks
