Default 30 Rims; You Pick 5

I recently bought a black 2009 xB and I'm looking for your advice on my rims. Below, you'll find a grid with 30 rims that I am considering. Keeping in mind that I am lowering the car about 2" (Tanabe DF210's already ordered) and that the rims will be 18" most likely, please tell me your favorite 5 rims in order of preference. Thanks!

Wheels are way to personal a choice to not be able to narrow it down better than that. If you would really be OK with any of those, then just put up a big picture on a wall and start throwing darts.

My suggestion would be to start off by asking people what to delete first. If you could narrow it down to about 5 wheels and then ask people what they like it would be much better. I would get rid of the following:

1A: lips fade quickly, and look cheap IMO
1B: just not a fan
2B: way too bright
2D: only mesh style you picked, so it must not be too high on your list
3A: I like bronze on BSP, but that's just too bright for me
3C: way too bright
4A: don't like the look where the spokes meet the lip
4B: for some reason it just looks cheap to me
5A: see 4A
5C: FUGLY

There you go, I just eliminated 10 wheels, making your decision that much easier.

I already have my top 5, but instead of just asking for feedback on them, I want to see how often my 5 come up out of 30. Thanks for the feedback!

Most of them are very ugly, but the top ones on my list would be E2 and A6.

I was looking at 18" rims on 5 sites or so. Any advice is greatly appreciated. My last rims were Momo's on an 1G Eclipse, but that was 3 cars ago. See?
