Buy whatever you want, to hell if it is a knock off, heavy, light, discontinued, etc etc etc. If you are never going to be measuring tenths, who cares? As for your spoke design, you are misunderstanding the issue. The aspect of the spoke design that people are referring to has nothing to do with the face of the wheel (IOW how is looks from the outside). It is entirely about the rear/inward structure of the spoke. You will likely never get a picture of this that anyone can deduce whether or not they will "fit" because it needs to be from an angle parallel with the wheelface, revealing the plane of the backside of the wheelface. My advice to you as someone who in the past bought wheels that didn't clear the front calipers.....Find out the availability/price of 5 and 10mm spacers (H&R for example, they include appropriate wheel studs). Then based on what you find, if spacers are on endless backorder (which they have been in years past) only buy wheels that someone can verify for you that they do in fact fit without spacers (as in, they have them on their car right now in that same size/offset)....or if spacers are readily available in either size then just buy whatever you want and be prepared to drop an additional $90 for spacers in order to get them on the car. Who gives a crap about rotational mass or whatever? If they caused accelerated brake wear then it would be an issue, but I have used 18" ADR's on my NA and if my brake wear was accelerated, it sure wasn't accelerated enough to care about, I got 30k miles out of my front pads, which is satisfactory in my book.
