Those offsets are not appropriate in my opinion.
If you are going to spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars on wheels (Work wheels at that), get the proper offset.
The rear is not horrible since they are so wide. But, if you are running an SC suspension, you will probably rub with the strut. My Supra turbo wheels are a 9.5" wide wheel at a +50 offset, and there is not worlds of breathing room to my Supra suspension. And, the Supra suspension has a narrower rear spring at the bottom than the SC.
The front offset is really not great. I ran 19x9 +37 previously, and they were only approaching flushness.
If you are worried about rolling your fenders, I own a roller and would be happy to bum it off to you. I would rather see your SC on Meisters that look aggressive with rolled fenders than on Meisters that are sunk in so that you don't have to roll the fenders.

They aren't MY favorite style for 5-spoke wheels but they might be someone elses. I like the thick lips more on mesh-style wheels but I saw an SC yesterday, actually, that had 5-spoke wheels that were very similar to the S1 with the same kind of thick lip. It actually looked pretty good. They looked like probably 16s or 17s. It was the same color as mine, too, so I was really liking the look. If I were going to get 5-spoke wheels, I would probably want the spokes to extend as far as possible to the edge/lip. But the thick-lipped 5-spoke wheels do look a little classier than ones without the lip, IMO. Are you buying them on eBay from the seller jdmautohouse? Those pics look like the ones from his eBay ads. I want some mesh 19" BBS LM or RS wheels (or replicas). I had 5-spoke wheels for several years on my Civic and now I really like the (less flashy but very classy) mesh BBS-style wheels.

Yea, I was thinking about buying it from them. I agree with you though, I like the look of 5 spokes where they come out as far as they can. Even though these are 19's they will look smaller then 19s on the car. That's why I'm debating if i should get those or not and wait til i find the perfect rims. I just can't stand rocking my ugly *** stock wheels though lol

Yeah, I would just recommend waiting to find something you really like, with the right offset and not rush it. I've put in an offer on some wheels from that seller before. I'm actually pretty satisfied with my stock 16" 7-spoke wheels.
I'm always looking on eBay for wheels but haven't found the perfect set yet. I also look on my local craigslist.org site a lot.
