the hotswaps are nice and I get tons of compliments in person on them even tho alot of people on this thread are flamming them but check out my thread in appearance section to give you an idea of what it looks like

If 4 is made of REAL carbon fiber (and not just that icky fake 'looks like CF stuff'), then I'm definitely all for them.

If 4 is NOT made of actual carbon fiber, then I'd go for 5.

I didn't like the hotswaps until I saw the mazda 3 that is in the September MOTM contest. I still prefer #1 though...

Since it looks like you're going with the thin 5 spoke design, I'll throw out the 5Zigen Fn01Rc's.. Here's a link.. I wanted these in Bronze for my galant..

Personally I think they are all pretty ugly, but I'm a simple rim type of person.

Flik FTD Titanium, scroll down to see them (http://edgeracing.com/wheels/flik/). Those are the ones I run, simple design, 17lbs so they are decent for weight, and if you catch the good sales they are cheap as hell too (I paid $79 a piece).
I'm also a fan of Rota Boost (http://gtmwheels.com/product_info.php/cPath/57_62/products_id/164), Rota Grid (http://gtmwheels.com/product_info.php/cPath/57_62/products_id/163), and Rota Torque (http://gtmwheels.com/product_info.php/cPath/57_62/products_id/166)
