GE8 on GSR Blades?

I have a guy that wants to trade me his GSR blades plus an as-yet-to-be-determined amount of cash for my OEM 09 Sport wheels.

Does anyone have a GE8 on blades or know where I can find a photo of such? I have a black GE8 sport, btw. I'm on the fence but I think there's a chance they could look cool. Thanks.

Why does anyone want to throw 15's on a GE8? I think the stock 16's look too small, throwing an even smaller rim and more tire will just amplify the problem.

maybe he doesn't think the wheels are too small..

nothing wrong with 15's, some 15's look better than any other size. plus they are much nicer for driving around town and on the highway, much smoother ride.


i personally don't like the blades, but i think they might look good on the GE

i was actually thinking of doing the same thing. anyone know if the offsets will work?
I've always liked the blades. I'm all about mileage, so 15s are much better for me than 16s.

15" wheels are to small... You don't go smaller than a factory wheel!

Why don't you just ask if you can put them on really quick? All you have to do is put on one full side and there ya go.

I love 15s. I don't understand the guys that throw 17's and up, on a Fit. You're losing power, losing mpg, why do it?

Thanks for the input, guys. I'm not dropped yet so I'm just concerned about the monster truck ride. I mainly just want to change it up a little.

Ultimately I'm going for springs (probably Eibach or Tanabes), struts (Tokicos? Idk. Just something decent. its not a track car.), and some mid-low offset silver 16x7 RPF1s. I think that would look amazing. This is just in the interim.

And yeah, the base wheels are 15s.

I'm considering asking to do a test fit. We'll see. I'll keep you guys posted.
