as for the fittment of the del sol's onto the integra i have had numerous friends put the del-sol rims on without any problems... but im not sure of any long term issue they may have eventually due to the fitment and spacing.
I had put toyata 4x100 rims on my integra a year back and they fit but they kept break my lug studs for some reason.. maybe they just couldn't handle my driving as well as my original rims...lol... just a thought..
Well, then look into having the rims painted instead. Then the lip can be masked and polished...and the whole wheel can be shot with multiple layers of UV-inhibiting clearcoat. The finish won't be as durable as clearcoating, but if you keep the wheels clean and protect the finish with wax, you'll be fine.
In the case of those Toyota rims that kept snapping wheel studs, two things will cause that. One being positive offset that applies too much lateral force on the wheel studs... the other being improper hub fitment.
If the taper at the center of the wheel face doesn't mate to the rotor hub, the rim can shift relative to the rotor under extreme cornering loads and place addtional stress on the studs. I hope you've retired those wheels, because stud failure can lead to some very big problems. :noes:
