Help me pick from these styles of rims for an off-road type look

I have plans to put some larger more "off-road" looking tires on Swampy but I'm having a hard time making up my mind which style rims to go with.

This is the selection of rims I have to pick from. Don't mind the tires, I'll be mounting something different when I decide.






























The color is also up for debate but I want to pick a style first and then go down that rabbit hole.

I'm a donkey and posted in the wrong forum (hangs head in shame).

I didn't see a way to delete my post so while I work on that feel free to give me your opinion.

I'm not crazy about them either but that's what I have to work with for the moment.

I bought them like that and the paint job is terrible so I doubt they would stay like that for long.

I don't much care for black wheels since you can't really see the detail in them

You know what I'd do ...
Repaint them black but then draw in the details.
You probably couldn't imagine this unless you were in my head...and you don't want to go there.

Im going to say the visual 'mass' in the black rims are a beefier/off-road look.



The thinner/daintier spokes on the others dont have the same feel.


And yeah, the paint job sucks
