danke danke!

it's the little blue one rounding the corner (bottom right on the article).

also, on a separate note, for the fit - the rubber on my clutch pedal is all but gone. i dunno if i drive weird or what, but after 20k miles, i'm down to bare metal. do you guys have the same issue and if so, what kind of pedal cover did you guys get?

i prefer 15s over 17s... and love the BBS mesh look... so... my $.02...

why not get 16s since its in between the two?

Pick one though!

We can't decide. The price difference isn't much maybe 100 or so.

go with 17 for the GE, 15 will be too small although both rims are nice.

Good Morning Everyone!!!! Happy St. Patrick's day!!!!!!

Charlie why would you give up alcohol for lent....hahahaha j/k

I say the 17" work...but do they come in 16"??? b/c I think it would look better....that just my 2 cents....

and David if you are looking for tint, I recommend going 35% in the front and 15% to 25% in the rear....

sorry for the bad photo/chops, the angle of the wheel pics and your FIT didn't line up but i did my best to skew them to the right perspective. they're not exactly proportionate, but i tried to get them close
