If you go to tirerack.com, you can choose a blue hatchback, find some very similar rims and see what they might look like.

+1. Plenty of wheels at Tire Rack with five wide spokes that'll give a good idea of what these RTXes will look like.

OP, it's pretty difficult to photoshop with a wheel photo like that, too -- the lighting isn't right, and there's no background inside the spokes. Believe me, I tried doing the same thing when I started photoshopping wheels onto my own car years ago. After failing at using product images like the one you've posted, I started collecting images of other cars with nice-looking wheels and using them as source material for my own photoshop files.

It's possible but it just takes a lot of time.
Make a template of the car with disc brakes + calipers so that they cover the stock wheels. Then it's just a matter of cutting out the white background between the spokes and placing it over the template.
But it's still hard to make it look like it's not photoshopped.

Are those the actual caliper sizes? Or is that an embellishment? I have caliper envy if it is. Our smaller calipers look horrible on large rims with lots of open spaces.

As an example:
