Default Which Wheels Look Best?

Hey guys maybe you can help me out here, I've got 3 sets of wheels for my Monte but not sure which set of wheels looks the best. Which do you like best, the GXP wheels, the Equinox Sport wheels or the factory Monte SS wheels?

I'm liking the Equinox, then the stock, then a very distant third, the GXP.

I think they both look about the same...and they're a little bit better than stock. I like thinner spoke wheels, so the GXP look good, but I think they'd look better in a gunmetal finish.

BTW...how the hell did you come across each set of wheels?

i think aftermarket Black rims are the best IMHO on black cars.

The GM Rims suck as the bend really easy.
