Definetly not the middle one. I like the bottom one with your bike. The only draw back is they will probably be harder to clean than the top one.

The lightest one. Unsprung weight reduces handling and performance.

stick with the spokes or go with wheel #3. I would probably keep the spokes if that bike was mine, though. Classy.
