that would look soooooo sick on your GE - especially in satin black!
i found a seller in LBC trying to get rid of his GSR fat fives for $200.. i'm going to check them out this sunday after i pick-up the header from Adrian. if it works out i might come home with new wheels - trying to convince my dad into buying them so my mom can have the Fit Sport alloys LoL.
IIRC fat fives came in 15x6 +45?? that should sit nice on my stance.

15x6.5 +42?? i think you'll be ok with a 195 tire and a mild drop. no worries at stock height. i understand the logic - drive wheels get the wider rims for a larger contact patch and more traction, but i would put the wider wheel in the rear. i think it might look weird the other way around.

you'll be surprised at how BIG the wheel well for the GE is. you can fit a 205 tire on a 17 rim and still have some room to play with a mild drop. cause i remember with notes (ghettoboy247) his car is dropped on coilovers and its pretty damn low with 205? i think or 215 i forgets but he doesnt rub at all. maybe on hard turns like SUPER hard. so i think you'll be fine with 205 IMO

well if i didnt see notes fit the 17's then i would believe what he said, but i see notes fit alot and road in it when he takes a hard u-turn and guns it but i hear no rub. so i take it his wheel specs are fine in my book cause i have the same wheels and tire specs and i rub but he doesnt...funny lol

*edit*
there's a guy asking for 300 for a set of spyders with some minor curb rash.. but ES100s with 5k miles of wear... so almost new tires...
what do u guys think? semi-new tires and ok OEM wheels for 300?

any GD owners interested in a J's grille but without the cleft near the intake side? here's a quick photoshop of what i'm talking about:
it's clean and simple, which i like. i've PMed iKona (the dude thats making all the dope tailgate garnishes with the "H" delete) and he said he could make a series of these types of grilles if the interest is there. i've already shown interest and he says he's going to start a new thread about it later in the evening. who wants?

sexy sexy sexy teaser pics of my "rollin on pennies" wheels.
so far i got only the 2 bottom primed and ready for paint the top one is stripped and the MIA one is getting sand blasted. slowly but surely getting they are coming alone nicely.
i also got my hands on some purple titanium valve caps(3 present, the other one my dad was lookin' at it) and stems(not pictured). the valve stems and caps are as heavy as a quarter. LOL
