Clearly the first one.
Second one looks like a really skanky 15" bbs replica.

Bottom pic by far! Top ones look like some tat from halfrauds normaly found on a corsa/saxo/fiesta etc. Sorry to be blunt but if it mean a change to the borbets then it needs to be said.
P.s get rid of those arches you deviant!

Absolutely spot on. I've not been sure of the latest rims on your chariot cliffy. It looks ok, better than the pimp my ride wires But barrys right, The bottom ones are quality but I'd watch the size. Don't go too big.

Borbet B's will look awesome believe me i should know although the pic with them on your car looks photoshoped and does not do the wheel any justice...

IMHO the keskins only work if they are hanging out of the arch with a huge dish, they don't look quite right with the smaller dish. I would get some proper pics of the Borbets, if you can get them staggered with a concave dish then that would be my choice.

If you're getting 9J borbet b's then they will transform the look of your car. The 7/7.5J one's just don't have the same impact, so i'd say stick with the keskins unless you're getting 9J.

Not being funny but neither are doing much for what could be a nice clean Cabrio.
15" BBS or 16" Alpinas if you must explore.
I suppose the damage has already been done with all that chrome
you may as well go ahead and rock 20" Spinners.

Some 9j borbet B's cliffy. Hold out for a set mate
A set of polished A's would suit your car aswell

The ones you have now are fairly unique ... leave them be.
The others look cheap to me.
