Forgestar F14 but I'm not really a big fan of black wheels especially on black cars. I would pick another color for some contrast.

I know this thread is about style above all, but....what's the weight of each wheel? And how strong are they?
Driving around Long Island, I can't tell you how many times I've destroyed weaker wheels. Also, your car will accelerate better, corner better, feel better with lighter wheels, everything else being equal.

As for looks: the F14.

That's 24 pounds of unsprung weight there. Rotational mass too.
Pretty equivalent to 50 pounds of weight above the suspension.

I have F14's in gunmetal and LOVE them. I did not get the SDC because I didn't want to roll the fenders, but I still love the deep concave on the rear! great looking wheel on these cars.

Here is a pic of the deep concave in gunmetal...
