Default Offset/Backspacing Question...

I'm looking for a new set of wheels for my car and i'm going for the
"staggered offset" look with the "sucked in" spokes.

Edit:The Rev's & attack's are the ones im interested in owning.

This picture is : 17x9 +15 Fno1rc's.

This picture is : 17x7.5 +18 Rota attack's.

This picture is : 17x8 +18 Rota Rev's.

I'm not sure if the picture of the rota's is the actual picture or not but i dont think it is the size mentioned.
what i want to know is....will the spokes on the rota's be "sucked in" in a similar fashion as the 5zigen wheel in a similar size?
If not, what will change when an altered offset is applied?
i cant imagine the hub mounting surface just getting thicker, is it possible that the spokes stay at the same angle but just move inward closer to the wheel center?
other than that, the only thing i can think of happening is the spokes will get sucked in but stay still at the outter-most portion of the rim (which is what im looking for)
I cant find any pictures of the rota rev's or attack's that look any different from the picture i supplied but i did find different pictures of the fno1rc in a different offset and they look similar to the picture i supplied of the rota rev....
check it :

what im thinking is, the picture i supplied of the rota rev's & attack's is an actual picture of a offset more similar to a +35/+43 than a +18 offset.

Here are some offset/backspacing calculators i've been playing with.
If anyone wants to help me out, that would be great.
