So, you want a knock-off of a knock-off rim?

You would be stuck with the 55mm offset though

There is nothing wrong with the 55mm offset. Not everyone cares about a flush look. For $200 each at College Hills Honda, why pass on such a great deal and beautiful wheel?

That's like how i'm 'stuck' with OEM 18" offsets during the winter time...

...then again, I put H&R Trak+ 20f/25r spacers on when the stock go on.

Unless you're slammed, then the sunken in look really doesn't occur... (but personally, I can't stand the stock offsets Honda/Acura applies to their wheel setups when compared to other manufacturers... especially w/ the 8th gen accord, in stock form, its like a hippo w/ chicken legs--the rear end is so fat and the wheel wells are massive compared to previous gen's...it begs for a lil bit of pushing the wheels out.) And even with 20/25 spacers on stock 18's...you are still about 5mm in the front and 10-15mm in the rear from being 'flush'.

When I look at new buicks, nissans...yes, fender gap exists...but at least they understand not making the car look top heavy by sinking the wheels in so much. Even pushing the tires/wheels out at stock height by 10-15 mm allows the tire to fill the fender gap appearance a little and look so much more aesthetically pleasing. I'm guessing it's Honda with cost saving and not wanting to have to design a more adjustable camber system or whatnot. They need to get off their high horses and small changes can really up the visual appeal
