Default Flush fit deep concave options

I'm thinking about new wheels. I know just about nothing when it comes to wheels, the brands, forged vs cast, offset... From what I've seen, I like the deep concave look with a simple design, 5-7 spokes. Wheels like Vossen CV3 or CV5, Avant Garde M550, Stance SC6.

I'd like to stay at 19". Looks like 20" tires are more $ and with 20s, you loose 1/2" of sidewall, which makes me think the ride would be harsher. I also think the profile of 19s look better then 20s.

I'm doing this purely for looks, won't be tracking the car. I'm not looking to save weight or gain anything performance wise. I don't want to spend $$$, but not looking to pick up an $800 set of no name wheels of Ebay. More in the $1500-2000 range or a used set with good tires for $1500.

I'm leaning toward the AG M550 because they are offered in 19x9.5 and 19x11 with the right offset and get your wheels has them for ~$2400 with tires.

I like the CV3s with machined face, but 19s are only offered 19x8.5 and 19x10. Would these sit as flush as the M550 without using spacers?

What 19" wheels are out there in this style that will sit pretty flush without needing spacers? I am dropped on coils about 1" front and back with 20mm spacer in front and 25mm in the rear now. I'd like to ditch the spacers when I change wheels and keep the same look.

Vossen CV3

Avant Garde M550
