I have been trying to decipher all related to tires and wheels but I couldn't understand it at all

. Using this amazing site I've got what are the base tires & wheels for my Toyota 86 2017.

I want to get rid of them and get a 18" but I am not sure which one. The figure there is pretty straight: 215/45R17 = 24.6x8.5R17 and I am not mistaken should be tall, wide and wheel diameter, I am right?. I was looking for some wheels here http://www.86speed.com/18-wheels/ but a doubt comes to my mind. Take the following wheels as example:

The only difference I am seeing between both is the latest number 40 vs 35 and should be a difference on the material.

Could any explain to me why the second one is more expensive than the first one? What do you use to determine which wheel would you get for your car?

One thing it's cool for me is the size and wide, more size and wide make them look pretty but this maybe has cons.

I don't know, you tell me if I am on the right path.

Last but not least which one would you recommend me?
