Possible rims??

Hey so i found these rims on craigslist, guy says there new in box so I want to check them out and he showed me the link for the same rims

18X8, offset 42mm.

I really like the look, my 01 Acura TL is blacked out with window tint and smoked taillights so Im not looking for dark or black rims. I currently have 04-06 TL stock rims painted graphite gray (which will now be for sale once I get a new set!)

Let me know if the offset works for our TLs, I dont want it sticking out and hitting my fender everytime I go over a bump I want them to fit snug, any suggestions and will they work?

My personal opinion is that those are way too busy and tacky looking. I also would never ride on Motegi rims. They're just cheap second class junk.

The size and offset are great though for a flush fit without rubbing. Find yourself a nice set of wheels in that same size.

Thanks for the opinion, Im not looking to throw our big $$$ so this is my price range and I like the look, so theyll fit snug no rubbing or anything?
