well...IMHO i like #3, and if you're open to other suggestion, my personal favorite are a set of 15-16" Rota Slipstreams...and you're right...don't let other people push you around...if you do, you'll end up with a car you don't like...and it's your car....do what you like....if other people don't like it...they can spend the money and hook up their car "the right way" (if there is such a thing) good luck man, and post some pics of whatever you decide to get!
