Default Debating on rims

So as much as I love my DWP color matched trafficstar RTS wheels (and I am keeping them) rears are 10j + 38 on 28mm of spacer. Kind of a weak offset. I found some good priced Auto Couture Supremes :9.5Jx19+23 :11Jx19+17 and some Aimgain Gs in :9.5Jx19+18 10.5Jx19+15. I like both rims but like the AC Supremes more and are a more aggressive fitment. My only worries are what when I want more aggressive. Are the particular rims welded at all? Or true 3 piece? I know the Mayas and Trafficstar barrels are welded together. Are the A/Cs or did riverside get with the program on these. Are the Supremes 20 hole barrels or are there 20 extra bolts embedded under the rim and use a 40 hole barrel but hidden?

Aimgains look like they are (Diamond cut or polished in the pics) Supremes are silver painted which is actually perfect cuz I could color match them like my Trafficstars. White on white looks amazing IMO. Supremes are 500$ cheaper and have one curb rash scratch that EASILY can be fixed. The Aimgains have one small knick in the lip so neither is that bad. I have always been a fan of 5 star rims but old school rims take a liking to me regardless.
