Default Which of these Rotas for AP2?

I have given up on my previous wheel choices(price was 1000 with tires) and decided to up the financial amount to get some Rotas.. Looking at their catalog online I have chosen the best looking designs that I like. Jmags are nice..but too industrial looking..torques are beautiful but look too much like stockies and many have them already...and that is my main issue with the D2s..many have them..

So ...opinions..which of these would look best?

Rota P-45 R2(I have yet to see an s2000 with these and think they would look beautiful staggered)

Rota IK-R( I think I have seen these on s2000s..but not as many..look beautiful like te37)
http://www.rotawheels.com/wheels.asp?wheelid=81

Rota DPT( I know that many s2000s have run this wheel but it is still an amazing looking wheel and a great cheaper alternative to the Volk ce28)
http://www.rotawheels.com/wheels.asp?wheelid=88

Rota D-Force(These I cannot find not only an s2000..but ANY vehicle with these...I keep seeing G-forces..but they are not the exact same wheel..I think these would be amazing..kind of like advan rs-d wheel)
http://www.rotawheels.com/wheels.asp?wheelid=62

So which one on an 04 SSM AP2 guys? Im feeling the p45 r2 and the d-forces the most..but id like to see pics ..and offsets.
And to save you guys some arthritis..I already am aware of the "quality" issue with some rotas..but what do you expect..will not track them..street wheels. Rotas are amazing looking wheels for the price. I am ready to buy some off ebay...but need to see opinions on wheel choice and size and offsets. Thank you in advance guys!!

P.S. tried to add images into post..but rota website doesnt let you "copy image link location" on their pics.

Anymore info on the DPT? They don't have any sizes listed on the website, I wouldn't mind picking up set to experiment in the paint booth.

LOL thanks guys..im starting to regret adding the DPTs as a choice because its kinda like putting up the d2s or the torques up there...everyone is going to pick them..especially current and past owners of the wheel lol.

Im looking for concavness and staggeredness in 18s..stock height. best wheel? best offset? thinking 18x8.5 or 18x9 in front and 18x9 or 18x9.5 in rear. just need good offsets for that concave staggered look.

Have you tried looking at wheeldude.com? Also there is a thread dedicated to Rota wheels in the gallery section. Unfortunately for our cars if you want concave wheels it will almost always require fender rolling or pulling to make them fit.
