FYI those "fake rivets" actually serve a purpose on the higher quality rims. Any 3 piece rim needs to have those screws to hold all 3 pieces together. Also there are some benefits to a 3 piece rim compared to a cheaper single or 2 piece rim like crazy offsets (more lip), replacement of any damged part instead of buying a whole new rim, and finally you are able to use a thiner spoke design.

How about you get those?
ASA AR9 With Spoke Inserts. You will have 3 styles to change. Red color Spoke Inserts, Carbon, Red and Chrome or you can just keep it empty with out installing any of them.
They are not expensive at all. Those wheels are really nice. I have no problems with them and they feel really comfortable. Also they are not very heavy, but be careful when you install a tire on it and make sure the tire is a good quality and it's not heavy. Otherwise you will have a problem feeling that they are heavy.

Here is wheels and tires sizing:
Size:
Front: 19x8.5
Rear: 19x9.5
Tire: Nitto NT555
Size:
Front: 235/35ZR19 W91
Rear: 275/35ZR19 W100
No rubbing at all, but the car will be quite heavy not too much just a little.
Pics of the wheel as new not installed:

If you really need my opinion about the wheels you showed to us and you don't care about the wheel I posted I would say go for the first one.
GOOD LUCK MAN

Get the factory G-spider wheels..they're only like $225 a piece and they look great for the price..wouldn't choose any of those three not really based on the looks but design. The companies don't look too reputable and most likely to bend easily..wouldn't risk that on any of my cars

I know ur car is silver but here is a pic of black powdercoated wheels on a white car. I think this is the Cheapers and Best option if ur wanna budget urself to around 1K.
If u get cheap rims u might have to deal with the rim cracking, most cheap aftermarket 3 piece wheels will be heavier than stock so ull lose performance. This is the route i would have taken if i didnt get my wheels.

oh another thing, if u wanna get rims, then ur gnona want to drop your car, once u drop u car ur prob gonna wanna stiffen the suspension, once u do that ur gonna wanna add some lip spoilers.....
u know the drill, tuning never ever ends. ur 1k would turn into 10k and u still wont be satisfied. Thats happened to almost every tuner here haha
