Default Are these Rims real?

Saw a Set of rims for sale on a local site and wondered which car they came from. Called the guy and he said he's not sure, but they supposed to be off an Acura RSX. Now where I'm from, we only get JDM cars and parts, so the RSX is only known to us as the DC5 Teggy. I searched it and found the wheel. He was right. But I'm only finding 17" versions. I wanna know if there's a 15" version of this wheel on maybe the S Type or something. It's not that I'm calling him a liar, but Honda caps aside, I'm wondering if they're the real deal because of the size. So is there a 15" version to this wheel?
The Acura version.



What he has for sale....

Look closely the ones he is selling are different and can be some knock off style and be 15" (look smallish) the cuts of the spokes are different esp where each spoke meets the edge of the rim.

Yea most likely they're knockoffs.
I'm not getting them anyway, they're too small.
I was shopping for wheels for a JDM FD1 and realised how much wheel well I'll be left with if I go with 15's
