They look like a wheel from 1980 something that should be left in 1980 something...

Can these rims fit a 94 Acura Integra? Found a pair for 75$ and want to paint them white.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

By fit I mean the offset. I dont want to get them if the brakes rub the inside.

They appear to be on backwards, the wheels are sided and it would make more sense to me if the fatter leading edge was facing forwards to suck air in to cool the brakes. That's how the early-mid 90's 300zx wheels were designed.
