Default Which wheel/center configuration?

Alright, here's the story. I have acquired a new set of wheels for my XJ. The ones I currently have are American Racing Baja's 15x8's with 235/75r15 Wrangler RT/S's...

The ones I just acquired are Pacer Daytona's in black 15x8's which I'll mount the same tires on... I've really been wanting a set of black rims. I was considering just painting the ones I have, but the back two rims are slightly bent - not horrible, just enough to vibrate pretty good on interstate speeds.

I've also been thinking about hanging on to the other set of rims - use one for DD and the other for offroad

The AR's have good looking center caps - chrome with a black center and of course, the AR logo...

The pacer's centers are all chrome and seem to really stand out and look huge against the black rims...

also, I had a set of black lug nuts on my s-10 and they looked really good, so that's something else I'm considering

So, what do you think I should run?

1. The current setup
2. AR's w/ no centers
3. Pacer wheels w/ pacer centers and chrome lugs
4. Pacers w/ AR caps and chrome lugs
5. Pacers w/ black-painted caps and black lugs
6. Pacers w/ no centers and chrome lugs
7. Pacers w/ no centers and black lugs
8. Dude, seriously? Who cares? Get a life!

Wheels are wheels man. They roll 'round and 'round and they'll get you where you need to go no matter how they look.

FWIW, these are the wheels I'm running. SUPER light weight.

My current setup...



To the ones suggesting me to sell them and get something else... the rims I have are the exact same thing as d-windows and I got the whole set from a friend for 100 bucks... so with that in mind, why would I want to go spend 50-80 bucks A PIECE for a new set?

Here's the rims...



...and the centers...


...and the combo...

Do yourself a HUGE favor and have those checked by a reputable shop for straightness before putting any rubber on them.

You might be surprised at their condition.
