That's because you have the cookies holding the contents of your shopping cart.

Hmmm, copy and paste wont work either, just a bunch of gibberish? Sorry, don't know how else to post it?

Can you tell us the make/model/specs of the wheels/tires? Or if you're using windows take a "snip-it" using the snipping tool then attaching the image?

Ok this should work?

That worked perfectly. =)

Seems like a lot for a 15x6.5 wheel. I'm not the BIGGEST wheel guy, but dont think I've ever heard of Borbet before. Also does it specify the offset anywhere?

Borbet are a lower end German made wheel or at least the older ones were? I'd trust those over some offshore wheel, made where it's OK to pay someone fifty cents an hour and pollute the environment. I have a set of older ones on my Fit for daily driving.

I don't know the OP budget or desired application? Personally, I'd go up in size to 16" and maybe something lighter? Maybe Kosei or even the TR's or Tire Rack house brand

Budgets not a big issue, but try to stay on the lower end of the spectrum. I'm open to ideas, I just like the style of the wheel basically.

Wheels are a matter of personal taste. Personally, I'd go with a 16" wheel but that's just me.

From experience/ownership Enkei, OZ, TR, Kosei and Sparco which are designed by OZ, but made offshore for cost. All have been quality wheels on some of the various vehicles I've owned.

As for the lower end of the spectrum price wise. That would be some of the Enkei, TR, Kosei and Sparco. These wheels are generally equal in weight or lighter than OEM. Many aftermarket wheels are heavier than OEM which is a performance downgrade. If looks are more important than performance then it doesn't matter.

I've owned other brands of wheels, but wasn't impressed enough to recommend or include in my list.

Good luck with your search

Ive seen some nice aftermarkets for the fit from Rockstar as well... I don't know much about the brands anymore as I haven't been in the automotive industries for the past 20 years... Now its more like OHHHH LOOK, SHINEY !!!!!
