2nd ones for me..... ever since i've had my series 1 futura.... i just can't get into liking the high style bonnet anymore tho.. that seems to be stealing my attention off the rims.... but i beleive a set of rims with fatr spokes really suits the AU.. or the 3rd or 4th set also suit the AU....

3rd ones if you get them that big, i've seen plenty of similar wheels in 15/16"and i just think they look crap, in 18/19" as your chop shows they would look awesome.

3rd of 4th, style suits AU perfectly, with a preference to the deeper dish. Avoid BA rims, they do look like you're trying to copy too hard, not original enogh.

I like the first ones. Seen a few non-B series cars around with them.

The rims look too bright considering the lighting conditions that those shots were taken. It does make it a little difficult to make a choice based on those, however, I'd be inclined to go #1 but in Shadow Chrome.
