Have you considered those? (AT Italia - Flash). Looks a lot like the Alps, but in my opinion a little less "busy"...

Of the choices listed, I would select the Brabus V, but would much rather have the RENNtech wheels.

I personally own the Alps.. sweet
but although not on your list, I would buy the Carlsson 1/16s
Renntech wheel looks kind of weird.

The SLR230 wheel if that's what you're refferring to, is the nicest one in your list.

Wheels

Cello is nice, Do they have one with less spokes (less busy)?

Then again, that would be like the 7 spokes on the C7 package.

The Renntech is a great candidate - my only qualm is the black lettering - if they would not blacken it, that would work well

I also saw a Lorinser I like, a 5 star design and they have a new one coming out. But since I am a newbie, have no idea what prices look like.
