On my new car I love the turbo II wheels and have had compliments too. Have seen people try to sell them for ridiculous prices like $4500.
In the context of the very well written post, check out champion wheels. I have a set of rg5's. The lips are polished, but are clear coated for easy maintenance. They are one piece and forged for great strength and light weight. Come in offsets engineered for Porsche's resulting in a flush fit. They make a great choice.

Damnnn this is getting confusing!

I also came across this wheel which kind of combines the flat look on the fronts and deep dish look on rears

Looks like HREs, does anyone know which wheels are these?

Those wheels turned out to be Vorsteiners and they are super expensive hehehe

I've done my search and my final 2 to choose from are the Strasse SM8 and these Mint IV wheels (which can be done as flat in front and deep dish on rears). I'm not going for the simple concave look.

I really can't decide which looks better step-lip or standard lip look!
