The standard compact spare is a 16" wheel. I'm not sure why Honda promotes it as a 17" wheel when it's not. Just get a 16" tire and you'll be all good.
What Did You Do To Your 2019 Honda Insight Today?

I see you really did go for the coin tray addition! Better than having 1 insert leftover without it.
All looks great and looks very custom, pairing with red knob accents and red exterior. It even gives the red power button context. 
Bit the bullet last night and ordered the 16-inch tire for the fake 17-inch wheel that is really 16 inches. May the pillow of the Honda executive that made the death to spares, have their pillow be warm and moist on both sides.
At least you can be assured it will fit the spare tire well properly.
May the pillow be flat as well.
In what I thought was going to be hours of hell, I pulled off my wrongly placed side trims today. Had my fishing line and 3M eraser wheel ready, but it turns out they pulled off relatively easy and left no residue at all. I guess they weren't on long enough to harden. The adhesive strips were still quite soft and gooey.
I temporarily placed them where they were supposed to go, and decided I think I like it better with them off. I think they make the car look less sporty the more I looked at it.

Tired of my Chapstick always melting so I made a special holder for it. Now all I need is some plastic weld and to wash my bed sheets.

At 1432 miles, today I had my mechanic replace my OEM wheels (23.7 lbs ea) with O.Z. Racing Ultraleggera wheels (14.7 lbs ea.)
Also I went to the self serve car wash, hosed her down, sprayed the rest of my bottle of Griot's Ceramic Speed Shine spray as a drying aid and wiped my EX until completely dry.

That is a great look, especially with the off white New Jersey plates.
I am marinating on the idea of Yosemite California Special Interest plates, white and light blue-gray, on my PWP.

Just checked out the CA Yosemite plate. Should look awesome on a PWP Insight! Special interest plates in NJ have a yearly renewal fee (cost varies depending on plate chosen). Personalized plates here are only a one time cost ($50).
FYI - silicone plate frames are life-changing.

Ahhh...silicone plate frames--that's what brings it all together on your Insight !
And, you helped me decide. I'm gonna go with the Yosemite.

I did my first oil change today. There was no freebie here...strictly DIY.
There is a local DIY shop that rents service bays.
What a pleasure to stand under my car using the lift.
Everything was a breeze.

I tinted the windows 30% huper optik ceramic tint all around, installed a cell phone holder on the flat tray so now it's held up where I can see it, also put a leather sew on steering wheel cover on it (placed it on but will tackle the stitching tomorrow), and tomorrow my dash camera mirror comes in.

Due to high gas prices I would like to add a lockable gas cap to my 2019 EX Insight. Will I need to get something uniquely designed for the Insight's fuel system ?
If you're going to buy one make sure the gas cap can handle a pressurized fuel tank.
Wouldn't a thief target a suv or truck with a bigger gas tank vs something like a compact sedan? I would guess on average I've only 5-7 gallons of gas sitting in my Insight. They would need to rob me at the gas station to get the full 10 gallons.

Most common gas thieves are not smart enough to figure that out
