1. Irrespective of aesthetics, IMHO the dished wheel will be better for control - you're quuite a tall chap and bringing the wheel nearer your body is important - assuming seat will be quite far back.

Use it hard from the start for a year so to give it a bit of a lived-in feel and put #4 on!

While you are at work we can accelerate that process for you :)

It's a 1 or 3 from me. Probably choose 3 if it was my car, but I'm not great at making decisions...
