Me rikey A the best. Not as much going on and arent as bold. They'd look good on nearly any bug, but your dark color will set it off.

A is the best choice, IMO. Simple, clean, and tasteful. Also, the design of the spokes looks like it can support the weight of the car from a visual standpoint.

B is OK and would be my second choice. I'm not a fan of the false bolts, though.

C is my least favorite. I have a friend with them on his GTI and while they are nice, they are a bit complicated for my tastes.

A are my fave.
Easier to clean...cleaner looking!

Besides - what are the function of machine screws on rims anyway? Well, besides catching dirt.

A No contest! A bug is a clean, simple car. No need for the rims to be complicated.
