Haha, you sound like you're torn over something you don't even know enough about.
17X9 in +44 and 17X9 in +45 are practically the same, meaning there will be concavity in the rear either way. The only reason the RPF1 looks less concave is because there's a slight lip on there where as the Emotions have the spokes coming out to the barrel.
Emotions and RPF1 are both in the range of $1150-1200 brand new, they're cheap one way or another. Personally I think the RPF1 is pretty ugly so I'd get the Emotions, but if I had my choice I wouldn't get either wheel.

My decision on the two rims are based purely on looks.
Concave refers to the fact that the face on the CR Kai has a concave dished look to it whereas every other CR Kai doesnt.
Im still deciding...
The RPF1 weights about a pound less than the CR Kai (which is great but not a big deal).
The CR Kai looks better of the two (not saying that i dislike the RPF1, its close)
Price difference is nominal between the two.

I'm just looking for opinions before I make the plunge.
I like the CR Kais cause they have a more sporty look
The RPF1's are great cause they look nice in a subtle way.
