My question is, has anybody yet found a reasonably priced lightweight wheel that will satisfy the stock-class rules AND work on the Fit?
I've been searching around quite a bit and the options are limited due to the deep offset on the stock rims. The rules say the wheels must be the same dimensions as stock with no more than 1/4" of additional offset compared to stock (or no more than about +49mm total offset, since the stock offset is +55).
And I'm on a budget.
So basically I'm looking for a wheel that meets the following criteria:
-- 15x6
-- 4x100
-- light weight (i.e. less than the ~15# Fit Sport alloys)
-- Offset 49-55mm
-- Less than $150 per wheel (OEM alloys by any manufacturer are OK by me).
Help...?!  |
The easiest thing to do is run the stock Fit Sport rims and put R compound tires on them- either Kumho V710 or Hoosier A6
Rota wheels only go down to 15x6.5 as do many popular rims.
Tirerack.com has same limitation except for a few Sport Edition wheels
In 15x6 4x100
Sport Edition D4 Silver painted (closeout pricing)
$84 with +47mm offset 14.8 lbs
$59 with +50mm offset 14 lbs
Sport Edition E3 Bright Satin Silver Paint $84
+45 mm offset 15.6 lbs
Sport Edition E3 Machined with Anthracite accents $84
+45 mm offset 15.2 lbs
By comparison stock 15x6 rims are about 17.5 lbs each
