Will my old wheels look like crap on my rx8?

I have some old focul rims I had sitting in my garage from 3 years ago. My stock rims got pretty scratched up, but I'm 90% sure these will look even worse. I just wanted to get some opinions before i dismissed it since I won't be able to get the wheels I want anytime soon.

Sorry for the poor camera quality pic from 05 on my old DSM. They are sitting on DUNLOP 215/40 ZR 17" tires right now. (Not the tires in the pic) Will that even work?

My RX8 is Velocity Red

what matters is if the bolt pattern is correct, rx8 uses 5x114

DSM's have the same bolt pattern as the RX8 does.

I dont like the wheels for an 8 . just repaint your stock wheels ?
