Arrow Which mags should i get? (pics included)

I'm about to purchase an EL Fairmont Ghia and i've decided to get some 19" chrome mags for it. WHich ones do you guys think would look the best?
(last picture is of the car they're going on) (link shows one of the mags too so check it out as well)
Cheers.

Personally i dont like any of them. If you're going to go chrome, go all out i say. If you get the skinny spoke chrome your tiny discs stand out and it looks like carp.

These ones are the best, just remember to keep them clean as if you leave dirty grimey brake dust on chrome for a month or so then then the chrome will get eaten into - ESPECIALLY if the brake dust gets wet..........



You can leave them dirty for less than a month but not recommended...........
