didn't realize i was in with you 6's. Still tirerack comes up with a list of wheels that fit your car when you put in the model info... might be a quick n easy place to start
I've been having the same problem trying to get wheels for my 3 hatch. In the end I went with 16 black steelies from tirerack.com instead of 17's. The dont look as nice but the highwer sidewall is better for the snow. In the en it was money and practicality over looks. I got them for 41...
