Default Which wheels??

Well I finally got a race car so the FD is going to become a garage queen that will still have a random AutoX or track day thown in at special events like the Speed for Sale event.

So the question is which of these wheels should I use for the street.

1. FN01R-C in Bronze
2. Stock wheels painted black
3. Something, I forgot, will need to be repainted to look good up close, but they look fine from a distance. If I decide to run them on the street I'll fix'em up. They're fairly heavy though.

Yeah I like the 5zigen's the best too. Just thought I'd ask before I put some street tires on them.

And new wheels aren't an option right now I have enough other stuff I need to spend money on before I buy new wheels.

It's a D-sports racer. min. weight 900lbs with a 1000cc NA engine, or a 650cc FI engine. We actually have a 1000cc engine from an 04 ZX-10. Will probably go the TC route eventually, but right now the goal is to get it running.
