Default Which rims?

Might get a new set of wheels so which of these would you go for:

1) BBS LM Reps gunmetal w/polished lip
2) Varrstoen polished
3) Or just keep the Linea Corse Dynas I have on now in the last pic?

Thanks guys! I cracked my front right rim on the frwy hitting a bump/pot hole which put about a 1in hairline crack (minor imo) and I'm debating whether to repair or new rims or just get a single new dyna (which they don't make in my offset anymore +28 its now +30) so I don't know if it'd be kinda weird to have one off rim.

I'll be blunt ( but don't take offense I'm not a big fan on replica wheels so I would have to give a big thumbs down on the BBS LM, TE37 reps. I definitely think your current Linea Corse rims look the best out of the bunch even though they remind me of the Work Varianza T1S. I would definitely recommend just refinishing the rims. Maybe something along the lines of black with machined cut surface with a high polished lip.... like this....
