Personally I would not get any of them, but that does not matter. It is your car, you have to pay for them, look at them and drive them. Does not matter what anybody says...as long as YOU like them🙂

They are all a bit threadbare on the facing IMO (like most U.S. aftermarket wheels are for some reason - perhaps for weight reasons). I like the regular OEM CX-30 wheels a lot better than any of those. I personally prefer a bit more alloy meat on the actual wheel design so that you can't see the entire inner-workings of the wheel/brakes behind an almost non-existent design facing. For the CX-30 & it's thick cladding, I would also want a wheel design that had a good amount of black or dark gray in it. As a quick off-the-cuff example, something like the one below I like a lot better than all the designs that you presented:

My 2015 Yaris SE Hatch had the design below, & while a bit funky looking, it actually looked good on that vehicle:

This the the dark gray 18" Mazda wheel that I wish they would have used on all CX-30's. I'm pretty sure I have this same wheel on my Carbon Edition, except in darker gloss black (like the turbo versions also), and the other non-turbo trims have the silver version of this as well. It's an attractive design though, regardless.

Really tough question based on a bare wheel.
I would go # 3 in bronze.

The dark grey 18's is what they use in Canada on the top (non turbo) GT trim. I like them over the silver wheels. I used to have black rims on my civic and while I like the look, i don't like having to constantly clean them!

I’m not a fan of any diamond cut style of wheel, but that’s a personal thing. Fortunately here in the UK on my ‘21 CX-30 I get the plain 18” gunmetal grey as shown above, and I bought a set of the silver 16” rims for winter tyres.
