Wheel Conundrum: what would look better?

please help. i recently purchased the RH 3.6P wheels (18s) and while i thought i loved them i don't think i really like them ON MY car. the wheels are beautiful, but for some reason they don't sit well with me. what else would look good on MY car, given it's color combo (ocean blue/beige)? i stayed away from mesh thinking they were too "rally" style and didn't match the car. now i'm thinking that the BBS LM's or even another Porsche wheel would have looked better. Techarts? I'm seriously at a loss, would love your help and/or opinion on the matter. Pics of my car can be found by clicking the link below. Please reply with suggestions or alternative wheels. I want to stay 18s, wanted to stay close to "porsche" design. I don't like the Turbo I's that the car came with.

thanks in advance

OEM Sport Designs, they look great against Ocean Blue.

wife is in the Carrera Light 18" wheels followed by Sport Designs next. there is a good looking Sport Design look wheel offered by the people at GCC motorsports.

you think the Carrera Light's would work? i know it's back to modern day porsche oem, but maybe thats best for this color combo car and my budget (19" not an option).

thoughts?

I vote for the Carrera wheels too - newer looking than the sport designs (although I had those on a 99 C4 coupe aerokit in yellow with GT3 fins etc...they are more aggressive and cooler on a coupe than a cab IMO)
