I had 16x7 wheels on my Fit for a while, then switched back to the stock Fit Sport wheels, and noticed the difference right away. My mpg improved, and the car just felt lighter on its feet again. The 16" tire/wheel combo weighed nearly 5# more than the stockers. The wheels themselves are pretty equal in weight, but I think the extra weight came in the much wider tires. I really like the look of 16s, but the car just feels better with the smaller setup. People have said the same thing for years about Miatas and Mini Coopers. Some cars are just more sensitive to wheel weight, and maybe the Fit is one of those.
