Just got my new rims VIA fedex today. Will be mounting them up this weekend and having the car aligned. What do you guys think?

Just got off the phone with TireRack....
What model wheel is this and what's the lug pattern?
I ask as the TireRack rep mentioned that the prodrive wheels they have may match the offset but not the lug pattern something like 5 x 120 vs. 5 x 114.
I would LOVE a setof these wheels!
Thanks!

Luxo, dont mean to burst your bubble, but notice I posted in off topic. These arent BMW rims. Sorry. I will take pictures of the car with and without the rims tonight or tomorrow so i can get a poll of what people think. I am not a big fan of acura, I just happen to have a NSX in the garage. (Dont worry, the M3 is faster!)

If this works, here is a pic of the new wheels mounted. Seriously phat. It makes the car look 5 feet shorter, and majorly bad. I am getting some this weekend.
Zanio time!
