Look here--> Memoryfab - Rare and Used JDM Rim Wheels for some BBS or other used wheels. They even had some SSR Reverse, though they are sold and 25mm

You might want to check VWVortex.com in the 4X100 classifieds for BBS, always seems to be some for sale.

Do you think 15x6,5 or 15x6 will be way to small ? or 15x8 is to wide for fit ?

The width of the wheel depends on which size tire you use. I believe the ideal size tire and wheel combination for the Fit is either 205/50x15 on 15x7 or 205/45x16 on 16x7 wheels. Ideally the wheel offset must be 45 mm but can be as low as 42 mm if the suspension is not lowered.
15x6, 6.5, and 7 are all acceptable wheel width for either tire.
PS you can also use 205/40x17 on 17x7 wheels.
When you widen the tire it means more weight and more weight needs to be offset by a slightly smaller tire diameter to keep mpg and accleration in useful limits.
good luck.

Yeah I agree; totally ok as long as the caliper clears & bore is the same or larger. You can pick up hubcentric rings from a local tire shop if the bore is too big.

205's should work great!

But they are apart, clean and ready to paint.

If you find them in the bolt pattern you need then buy them cause they can be rebuilt and the extra parts can be put together to to make a whole new set that could be sold for more than you paid so my advise is to buy them before there gone.
I can do a write up but I want hella Rep points from everybody for it cause these wheels are in high demand and have been discontinued for years, So let me know
But here is a couple pics of my ideas
Spike center

Spike bolts



And what a few differnt colors look like




Sorry for the horrible quaility of this one but this was a desktop back ground I made using paint, but I am thinking I want them to look llike this when there done

Sorry for yet another long post by me
