YUK! Teddy bears as wheels =/

Il get them test fitted and try them out on stock suspension first.
If they are a FAIL il sell them on.

I reckon it'll look completely wrong on stock height with such offsets...

they'll stick out centimetres!

Sorry mate, but they are butt ugly wheels. Honda do a nice version...just like the ones in your second pic....in fact most owners seem to plump for these....for good reason i would suggest!

I would only 'upgrade' from <04 to the >04 17" OEM personally

You can roll the arches, but i feel that unless you pussyfoot around, you'll be ripping your arch liner.

Avoid any trackdays/B-roads inparticular!
I had 7.5 +42 and had no rubbing issues with my prodrive wheels

Three spoke alloys are to cars what bomber jackets are to men.

For fitment issues first read this:

http://www.hondatuningmagazine.com/tech/ht...heel/index.html

Then go here and fettle:

For rolling radius differences youc an use this too:

Good luck.
