Yes they are pitting too.

I would price-check on Tire Rack though.

Also make sure the "offset" measurement is close to yours, otherwise they will stick out or stick in too much.
How can I tell what the OEM offset is?

I would have them wire brush it and hit it with bead sealer. Should stop the leak. It will make it a bitch to break the bead when it is time for new tires, but that really isn't your problem is it?

I had a set on my Prelude for a few years. They were pretty nice. Easy to get center caps for also because they're a pretty common brand.

That works great on steal rims but not so good on chrome.
