If you seriously want fitment opinions you should post at least the wheel diameter, width and offset. You will also need to consider hub bore and bolt pattern. Edit: You stated "these will fit" , I thought you were saying "will these fit"... Oh well.

I have never heard of that wheel brand myself, they look nice, not a fan of chrome, but chrome can look quite nice on a white car.

If you like this type of five spoke pattern there are also several other brands that make the same style wheel that look almost identical.

Don't assume they will fit. Call them or contact them and get the offset.

Ditto what toyoguy says!

Get the offset and let us know what size tire you plan on using.

On an 18x7.5 you will probably need to go with 225/40/18 or you can go with a 225/45/17 if you want to roll fenders

Good luck fitting a 17" tire on an 18" rim
