17 inch wheels - Can't tell what trim they came from

Hi all

I purchased a 2012 LX last September for a great price. I love the car so far and thought I would buy a nice set of wheels for the summer now that it is starting to warm up here in Toronto. My LX came from the factory with 15 inch steel wheels with hub caps. I am using these as my winter rims and currently have 195/65/15 Bridgestone Blizzaks mounted on them. I came across a set of 17 inch Honda rims on Kijiji with 215/45/17 Michelin Pilot HX MXM4 v-speed rated tires mounted on them. Buyer had them posted for $400 (CAD) but I got him down to $350 after finding a nail in one of them. Tires have between 70-80% tread on them. Wheels are in very good condition, but I can't seem to figure out what model or trim level civic they came off of. The seller told me 9th gen but I've search all over the internet and can't seem to find them. I'm starting to think they are counterfeit (still a good price as the tires alone are worth what I paid for everything) Hoping to hear some input on here as to if these rims are legit or not. I am still happy with them, but cannot find a picture of these anywhere. Let me know what you guys think.

Cheers


Notice the mark on the top of the rim. I know this is a manufacturer of a lot of wheels. I've seen the same logo on my Mazda 6 wheels and Subaru Impreza

not sure the year, but one way is to find online brochures for the civic years.

like, found a 2012 brochure here:

Honda wheels have that little mark as well. They look familiar, I just can't remember what car they're from

Does it have any info stamped on the spokes or hub center on the inside of the wheel?
