Default Want opinion on these rims - UPDATED!

I'm having trouble deciding on a set of wheels for my car. The wheels below have been photoshopped on my car. Which do you like best?

Of the original two submitted, looks like B is the winner. I was actually leaning toward A though. I asked the wife and she likes A better as well. Guess we both like more bling. The benefit with A is that I can go with a wider tire in the back. Anyhow, I've added some more options based on some comments about adding color, but I still like chrome...

A) Lorenzo WL26 Chrome



B) Ruff Racing R953c



C) Foose Speed in Orange



D) Stock Rims in White (can't imagine keeping these clean)



E) Stock Rim with Orange Accent (original design)



FOR FUN: 69' Rims

No comment on the chrome... I think it's too much.. but, that's just me.. Your car, totally your choice there..

For the wheel style, I personally like A over B... B just reminds me too much of Cobra R wheels.. I saw the Drift R wheels over on Camaro5 and thought the same thing about them..

I would agree with Humanwiki... Try to photoshop in some white rims. It would be cool if you could add some pins in the same color as your strips. Just my opinion, but chrome only looks best on a darker color.
