Default 17's on Saff's. What looks good?

am growing bored of my diamond cut RS 7 spoke alloys. What wheels look good on saff's. I quite like the old skool OZ super T's and Rondells but seeing as you cant get Rondell's anymore

Any suggestions AND pics would be good.

As you well know, my wheels ar like super T's but FAR better at only 16 inches,

As a gesture of friendship, i am willing to do a straight swap with your wheels for mine.

Selfless I know, but we all have to make sacrifices

Here you go dude, all but 2 of the wheels I got the images from www.rimstock.co.uk:

Escos rims not a big fan:



Monzas:



Dunno what these are, some Team dynamics rim?:



I LOVE this wheel:



But it looks EVEN better in grey/black:



I found these nice superlites, they make them up to 19" couldn't find a straight on pic so they look a bit wonky:

MO's look alright in my opinion

Yeah the grey ones are just team Dynamics K2's that I added a bit of colour to in Photoshop

Probablky get em cheaper than this [although the price is with 4 tyres so not too bad really??, but this is them:
