I've never heard of poked either, strange. Is that where the offset of the wheel is a little lower than what you should run so it makes for a super aggressive stance and you need to run like -2+ camber in the rear to make them fit under the fenders? Aka maximize lippage on stretched tires so they fit?
I'm going to guess 19'' LMs or Work VS-XX with step lips. There's no such thing as a 2-3 month wait time for replica wheels... at least not from my experiences.
As for Linea Corse vs Chikara LM reps, they both look identical to each other and LM's to me. There is no concavity on the LM's, the face is flat and the face pops out a little. The differences might be in the size of the lips, depending on what offset you get, some LM's won't come step lipped if the offset is too high.

I co-sign the poked and stretched/ hellaflush look. I wish I would've got stretched tires up front when I bought my wheels and tires. My rears have a little stretch due to the size I was recommended to avoid potential rubbing issues, but a month after I installed my wheels/tires I got put on to the hellaflush scene.

to poke you need to run wide widths in your wheels like 19x10/11 and 19x8/9 with low offsets like +10 to +20. That gives the poke look.
The stretch looks comes from running narrow tires, so like with our cars its recommended we run 245/35/19-275/30/19
so using 19x8 +15 fronts and 19x10 +15 rear, the stretched tire look would be 235/35/19-265/30/19 with round tire edges like falken 452, toyo tr1 etc
with a 2inch drop that will sit flush with the tires and poke out from the sides with good -2 camber
