Sunglasses Suggestions

Hello! I am new the forums and looking to start my Oakley collection. I want to find a pair of sunglasses that are older probably from the 2000s and just wanted to get some suggestions on models and lines to check out. Some models I like right now are the Minutes, Pennys, and the Fives 2.0. I like the smaller, rounder, eye popping shape these models have, I have a smaller face so the minutes and fives definitely suit me better, and personally growing up I watched X-men a lot and Cyclops had a pair of the Oakley Penny's in those and they just looked so sick. Would love to hear some recommendations on models to check out and take a deep dive into from all of you!
 
Mars and Pennies are quite small. If you are on a tight budget Juliets are much more affordable. Here is my collection so you can see the size difference. Top row are Romeos. Second is a OEM Mars Ruby. Third is a Juliet. Penny below and Half X. Clifden and Kato. Feel free to ask me questions.

Are those all X-metals? I really love the shape of the pennies but I just haven't found any locally, Juliets as well. I'm not yet allowed onto the exchange forum, since I'm still a new member, but I've found some local Oakley's and wanted to know what you guys would do in my shoes. I found a few wire pairs locally on FB marketplace, Square Wire (2.0), A-Wire (but I think this specific pair is fake), Half wire, C-Wire, and Crosshairs, I've also found Monster Pups, and XS Fives. Out of all these I really like the the Monster Pups and XS Fives, in terms of the wires the Squares and Halfwires stood out the most to me, if I can get some good deals on them I will grab them, but wanted to get your guys thoughts on which ones would be worth while and if you have any experience with these pairs?

Original halfwires, a wires, nanowire 2, hatchets, are all smaller and from the era you are looking for (except maybe nanos those were more of a maui jim killer and came in 2008ish). XS fives are really small, original crosshairs might be too large. OG collectors loved the splice, I would definitely recommend looking at those.
