Timbo - On your particular car I prefer the 'Storms' as they make the wheel look a bit bigger to me. They are forged, so should be lighter.
'Cyclones'- Look great, easy to get a hand and a sponge in there, but from experience show the dust and the gloss scratches quite easily.
'Tornado' - Easy to clean, but the false Zinc plated socket screws I think will weather over the years.
I'm going for 'Blades' on my next IRR F - Easiest access to clean, good colour for brake dust, and less all up weight as they are forged.
The only downside I believe to any milled edge, as on the 'Storm' and 'Cyclone' and 'Rotor' is the fact that if, like me you live on the coast, you need to keep them well protected and clean or the lacquer will pickle and lift.

The good thing is with the F-Type, you can't go wrong either way. They both look great so it just comes down to what you like..
The funny thing is in my area there aren't many F-Types (let alone coupes). However, the one other coupe on the road seems to be the exact same spec build as mine.
Doesn't make me like it any less though.

Apart from the bolts on show, the tornados dont really look any different to the cyclones.
I'm still undecided to be honest, got to live with the storms for a while and we'll see

I don't like the tornadoes. Those bolts look ugly and outdated.
My ranking is
Storm>Black and diamond turned gyrodyne>cyclone>tornado
