make sure they fit your car first, then decide what to offer him. Offset is the key, so make sure they fit well and look decent. I would check out some Acura forums to see what they go for, no one here is really going to know for sure. Good luck!

yeah.. I checked around and the offset is 30+mm ..I'm pretty sure I would need spacers right? I have no idea what model they came off of so I couldnt really ask around...

I don't think you would need spacers. I have +40mm wheels that are 7.5 inch wide on my car right now and they come very close to the struts. With +30mm offset, depending on the width of the wheels, you should have good clearance between the wheel and strut. If the wheels are wider than 8inch, then you might need spacers.

You're gonna have to roll the fender in the back if you're lowered. I tested 350Z wheels (which have +33 offsets) and I rubbed in the rear over any bump.
