Suggestions Needed

Just got off the phone with my Acura Dealer.
They finally decided that they would be willing to take back my stock rims and tires for $100 a piece and sell me the Ace Spyder 18/8.5 43 offset for $1,200 plus intall. Is this the right size or too big? Isn't this the same as the ASPEC Rim size? I like the Ace wheels because of the color and polished lip.
http://www.acealloywheel.com/main.htm

Please see the site and let me know if you like them or if it's worth it?
I don't know what type of tires yet. Will know more over the weekend.
reminder, the car is leased, so no hassles. See the pictures of my car to see if they would look nice.
Thanks

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Not really my style, I think you could choose better, but if you like them, go for them!

Sell rims on Ebay

Sell them on eBay. Right now the regular new 17" are going for $800 a set (which is discounted at Curry Acura) not even w/tires. PPL on this forum bought the 17" for $600, and even if you sell with tires for that price (not including shipping) that's $200 more for you. Unless that hassle isn't worth $200 to you. BTW I saw very few '04 TL rims on eBay, either 17" (only 1 or 2 sets) or 18", so I HIGHLY suggest you do this!

Good Idea, but may be to much work. What do you think of the style?

Never mind what others think. If you like them that is all that matters.
