Default I'm A 993 Wheel *****-Help me decide which wheels to keep

I have been trying to clean out my garage a little bit and I realized that one of my problems is that I have too damn many wheels for my 993 (not to mention wheels for other cars!). I decided to count how many sets I have and realized I need to thin the herd, 8 FREAKIN sets for one car! I have my preference's but I am curious what my fellow 993 R-Listers think, vote for your favorites, here is what I have:

1. 18" Fikse FM-10 (shown)
2. 18" OEM 993 RS Speedlines (shown)
3. 18" Genuine RUF wheels (shown)
4. 18" Fikse Mach 5 (not shown)
5. 18" OEM MY02 (shown)
6. 18" OEM BBS Sport Design (shown)
7. 18" OEM Hollow Spokes (not shown)
8. 17" OEM Cup Wheels (not shown, but you know the look...)

I am leaning towards keeping the FM-10's, the RUF Wheels and the Cup wheels (in case I ever sell it, not likely...)

I love how light the Fikse's are and there gorgeous but a pain in the a$% to clean! The RUF is a classic look, easy to clean but damn heavy!
The Speedlines are gorgeous but I worry about harming them in some way as they are uber rare in this primo condition!
MY02's look great on 993's, are easy to clean, light and disposable cheap.

Give me your vote, what do you think?

I like lightweight wheels, for obvious reasons. So I say the MY02s are the best. The RUFs and Speedlines are overrated, and over priced, boat anchors

Keep your MY 02's for 6 more months... Then after I'm done moving, sell them to me

Speedlines for sure,

I always liked the sport design wheels on the 993.

Speedlines just don't do your beautiful car justice. Sell them to me asap!

Cups FM10s or Speedlines. Rufs are heavy dogs.

I had my floors done by a local garage floor coating company called Garage Solutions. http://www.garagesolutionsllc.com/

It's a epoxy floor product and I have it in my shop and garage, awesome!
