Default Crazy Idea?????

My friend has a pair of SSR Longchamp wheels he'll give me for a good deal. The sizing is 15X7 with an offset of 11. Im thinking seriousely about cleaning them up, polishing them and converting my lug pattern to 4x114.3 to accommodate them. For those of you who don't know what Longchamps are there is a picture attached below. So far I haven't seen any genuine old school Longchamps on a civic, let alone an ef hatch before. let me know your thoughts. Please no haters, just want to know if you like the idea.

Yes, too wide. And what are you going to do for the other two wheels? The only cars that are taken seriously without all 4 wheels the same are those long skinny drag racers.

haha true. I guess I neglected to add that I would be getting another pair with the same offset etc. also those wheels are like 8-10 inches wide it appears. the lip on the 15x7 are like a three inch lip. nothing too crazy.
