God, if Mike were here, he's probably eat you alive just for thinking they were rotas. Lol.
So what are they now? Anyway you're missing the point, he is just using the pic for the style of the wheel, and rotas have basically the exact same style as that. There are a lot of replica wheels that look identical to the actual wheel and cannot be identified without seeing them in person or seeing the stickers on them.

To the OP- are you lowered on anything? Any wheel is going to look decent at stock height. If you're lowered on anything it will look better. I would suggest if your a good amount lowered and you want good fitment to get around a 35-38 offset. Ususally you wont find Rotas with that offset though.

I would also say get them from wheeldude.com. I got my old rotas from there and Zoeb and the other guy(forget his name) are great, and will solve any problems you have. Just call them or email them with your year civic, and they will find what you are looking for. 17x7 is good aswell, I would look at getting a 40ish offset, or lower if you are on coilovers and care about fitment.
