I think you can do better than those wheels. Take a look at the wheels on this site:

I would urge you to find some wheels with an offset over +40 as that will make fitment much easier.

those will fit, they might rub the fender depending on which size profile you use. I am not a big fan of adr at all, get some used wheels if money is a concern.

I don't know anything about fitments, but i think the wheels themselves look nice.

Uh, how much of that image did you Photoshop? At any rate, I agree with what was said before... get higher-quality rims. Your car deserves it!

If they are only going to be street rims, the ADR's would be fine (if that's the style you like). I would suggest finding rims with an offset of +40 or higher as you'll have better tire selection.
