they look real similar to the ones i have on my car now. I got mine from Project Nissan. Paid like $113 for them. If they are the same, they're a decent built unit. I like that they have a hub center (makes using hub centering rings easy). I say go for it. I'm using 25mm myself with a +42 and they are just poke past fender edge. haven't had any issues. I would however use some thread lock on the inside lugnuts (they hold the spacer to the hub) as it is not an area that can be checked easily. Outer lug nuts can be checked real easy (just like normal), but inside ones you have to take wheel off to check torque. Good luck with em

Probably ok, but why do you want honda wheels?

But if they are 4x100 then they have horrible offsets. Not even sure a 25mm spacer will make them look right.

I would have to pass for a couple of reasons... 1) as Biggie said.. why would you want honda offsets. 2) if you notice the unit they have pictured, there is not hub lip to put a hub ring around. Your rim would be a Bi*ch to center by hand, not to mention that the lug nuts and studs would have to not only handle clamping force, but vertical load as well. Just not a good design, esp if you drive remotely aggressive... I've gone 5 lug so I have more selection and better offset selection... I'm currently waiting on my rims to become available.. 17x9.5 +12 on 5x114.3.. add on the 25mm spacers and I should be able to reach flush on the flares... Krash.. i would pass on those.. but that's just my opinion.

yea they seemed a bit "iffy" to me. I don't even know if the studs that come with it will be able to handle the all the forces acting upon it. just curious, I've never seen these adapters before
