When I asked around the only place that really answered me was Memory Fab. For a set of BBS RS they wanted $600 to fill, redrill, and refinish/paint.

Not too bad considering the rims themselves were only $680.

The problem is I can't decide between 17" or 15". Wife loves 15 but after seeing Note's car and a couple other Fit's last night I want 17.

mike... i have 15s on my car... cuz i got them cheap and with 80% tread on decent tires... it looks rediculously small (you'd have to offset the small size by bigger tires)... i'd rather have 16/17 if i had to get new wheels

I've had 17x7.5 with +45 offset and it was really really flushed like the tire and fender lined up perfectly! haha i loved it! but the only thing was i needed was camber bolts and a good fender roll/pull to make them tucked.

Well, installed at the dealer is so expensive! I'm gonna have my guy that did the turn signals do it, that way I only need to pay for the fogs and he doesn't charge too much.

I'm gonna get the regular one's like on Notes car. Those are sic IMHO.

I need mud guards too. I think if I got mud guards they would complement 15's perfectly.

If I go 17 no guards.

labor/installation for me was $50 for the fogs... i went through autoland to buy my car, so i didnt deal with the stealership directly...

I wish I had a job to be on vacation for
On the plus side, I went job hunting today, and it wasn't too shabby.
Hopefully getting a call soon!

But I told my brother I'd get him one of those fancy helmets people use for autox and what not -____- me and my big mouth.
