Anyone Have Mugen Wheels on Their Fit?

I found a set of brand new Mugen wheels for $600. Anyone have these? I guess they will fit on a 2013 Base?

Sorry for the vagueness. I didn't realize there were different ones for the Fit. These are the ones I am looking at.

Ah, Mugen XJs.

Yes, they will work with your 2013 Base. Recommended tire size is 205/50R16.

Tire pressure monitoring

I purchased a set of the mugen wheels this evening from an online parts vendor. The wheels are listed as being made for an 09,10,and 11 model years but after reading all the mugen xj threads I've concluded that they'll also fit fine on my 13 sport. Will someone please confirm.
Lastly, will someone please confirm that I'll be able to use my tire pressure monitors from my oem 13 fit sport in my new wheels? Is it plug and play and do I have nothing to worry about.
A friend of mine mentioned that I may have to drive around w the light on and if this is the case I will cancel my order tomorrow morning.
I'll post pics when I get them. Thanks for your time and help!

. Everything fits and works great. I did buy McGard lug nuts as stock ones did not have the correct taper and were ugly. Who is the vendor? I would like one more for a spare.

Hondapro priced at $343.91/each which is cheaper than the oem Honda wheels...... Go figure.

I know this is an old post but just updating the information, if your Fit has steel wheels the stock lug nuts will not work for the most of the Alloy Wheels (and as novaken1 says, were ugly), however if your Fit has stock Alloy Wheels the stock lug nuts will fit without any issue.

So this must be a lugnut diameter issue? The steel wheels and alloy wheels both use ball seat lugnuts so besides being ugly why would you not be able to use the open end lugnuts that come with the steel wheels?

I am sure the Mugen wheels use tapered lugnuts? If so you should not use your stock lugnuts with them.
