Default Standard or no?

First of all hope you guys had a marry christmas. Ive got some cash coming in due to lots of OT at work so I was thinking about buying some wheels for my RS1800, but after thinking about it I was considering just putting the standard wheels back on, ive got the wheels so they would just need some tires. If I bought wheels id either get some white comp MO 5 spokes or some Pro Race 3s, what do you guys thinks the best way to go? Standard or not?

I hate to recommend a cliché - but Comps do look good on Mk3s.

Comps ?, then you can be a sheep like everybody else, why not think outside the "box" and get what you really like ?
I'm not putting comps on my cos only because everyone else has, started thinking they came with these std at one point till I remembered!!
