I like #1 & #4 style...thicker, less busy spoke pattern, easier to clean than the tight spoke pattern options, a bit more 'meaty spoke' than the thinner spoke styles, but black or silver is your choice.

#1 or #4 in silver: concave look is nice, and black makes the wheel look smaller, so silver.

I vote #5 in silver. They're close to my dream wheels--Vossen CV4s in matte graphite.

I'm with Term. 87s just cannot be beat in just about ANY color.

I actually like the Vossen CV1 maybe in matte black.

Wait ... Tom, don't you have Vossen CV3s?! Those ARE pretty nice too.

Bnagy4.8, I would find 5 spokes that don't taper too small at the ends (like those in your poll). The Vossen CV3s are nicer I think.
