RCF Wheels--Selection and Pricing

Standard wheels might look good in pictures, but in real life from 3/4 angles, they look very pedestrian in all of the pictures so far. The spokes are totally flat so from the 3/4 angles they look very bland and give a "narrow" look to the car (check pictures of mule car with these wheels in California). They also give an illusion of being smaller than they actually are.
The option 2 is the best for all 3/4 angles as the 3D effect created by the wheels give a sense of very wide stance since the spokes rather protrude out from the wheels. They also look the 19 inch part.

The most complex wheel designs clean well with this product. It is sold at Pep Boys. I simply towel wipe after power washing away the product. It is safe for all wheels.

Excellent info...!!!!
Bolt pattern is 5x114.3 or aka 5x4.5
All 3 OEM - BBS wheel designs will get the same wheel & tire specs:
Front 19x9 + 50 offset with a 255/35/19 Michelin PSS Tire
Rear 19x10 +41 offset with a 275/35/19 Michelin PSS Tire

All THREE are superb imho
With that said, I have a question:
What is this 'highest grade High Plus Wheel' that they're talking about below?
Is that Premium 2?

I coined the term premium 2 for the purpose of this discussion. There are three wheel options for the US, again, based on what I saw. Premium 2 is the buzz saw wheel and will require an additional $1,500 to have on your car.
