The AR2s are seriously sick. I have them on my car and you have to see them in person to understand how all the little differences change things up.
On most mesh wheels, the spokes have rounded edges; these ones are sharp. Another small statement is that the center is polished aluminum, the dish is chrome, and the inside of the spokes are painted, so the depth is ridiculous. Plus, just inside of the dish is all black... My buddy has AR1s on his car, and my AR2s put him to shame.
But those wheels are being discontinued, so it you're buying a set, get 5. That way, if you bend one, you don't have to go wheel shopping again. These wheels are pretty soft, too.
The JH9s look kinda cool.
this is prolly a wierd question but can you polish them up to shine ? i no its a stupid question but o well

Saw this for sale and looks to have one of your choices on there. Looks pretty good IMO.

They shine alot. I've never really gotten good pics of my wheels. If you are looking to get a chrome shine though, I don't think I'd bother with the AR2s.

Lol, I have 5, so if you looked at 18s, I have your other wheel.
Do you have an America's Discount Tire near by? They can get them as well, and might have another source.
I'll be selling mine next March, so I'm not sure if the discontinuation is a good or bad thing for resale.
