Rock them for a while because when you go back to the mesh wheels you'll feel like it's a new ride again.

Haha thanks, If you need spacers, it must have a really low offset. Any clue on the offset?

Maybe they'll look better powder coated or painted.

+50 on the offset. i'm thinking 5mm or should i go 10mm? if i use 5mm do i need to have my bolts changed still? and 5mm would just bring me to my previous wheel specs.

5mm should be fine. You won't need to change your studs for a 5mm. When you step up to a 10 and 15mm, I suggest getting the spacer extension kit. Where the spacer has the studs built into it, and it bolts up to your previous studs.

No problem at all Jowell. I suggest either the Project Kics or Ichiba spacers. I lean more towards the Ichiba because they make a Honda/Acura application where it has the hub bore with the exact size of the applications.

Here is the Ichiba one for the TSX which of course will work for the Accords.

Project Kics

Ichiba one is a lot cheaper compared to the Project Kics. With both of these spacer extension kit, your wheels will need an open slot so the stock studs can clear.

No problem at all. Just be aware of some spacers that don't have a hub bore. If there is no hub bore on the spacer, then all the weight of the car and wheels rest on the studs. Which in terms can cause a lot of stress on the studs themselves to even possibily snap and break.
