that's not my DA, it's my brother-in-laws. They're 15's. I don't remember how much he got them for. There's someone on Honda-tech that's selling them though.

 

Here's the main website:

does anyone have wheelflares on their FIT yet? i'm wondering if a low offset would look good on the fit like the scion bB up there.

 

The sportmax 002 high offset makes it look like rota gt3s

 

What do these puppies weigh? How are they constructed?

 

Thinking of going with 17" wheels but like to get a look at a few from different owners out there.

Thanks in advance

 

Here are mine: 17" Enkei RS7 in Anthracite with Kumho SPT's 205/40/17

 

wow looking good bro

 

Thanks man! My GD3 needs a drop bad! I got my springs all ready to go on, but I don't wanna screw up the stock struts, so I'm waiting for some aftermarket ones before I put them on...looks like I will have to wait a year Oh well, winter is just around the corner anyways

 

Black = 16
White = 17
Zuki = 15




BTW .. Falken Circuit Spec 5 (i think lol) gunmetal. 17x7

 

Did you guys low the fit with these 17'' rim?

 

Illusive, those are very nice! Perfect color. I want that color for my black Fit. What's the weight, and has it kinda slowed you down a bit?

sliverworm, I didn't know Falken made wheels. Looking good! Same questions for you too.

 

These are my sweet rolling stocks ..

 

I think the weight is like 22lbs!! Iam wanting to get some lightweight bronze pretty soon and will be looking to sell these.. I want my MPG back.. and some top speed!

 

elementary question, but humor me - what is the relationship of rim size to MPG and speed? Also - doesn't bigger rims make your speedometer and odometer inaccurate? Seems the size of the wheels would have to be taken into consideration when calculating distance/speed ....ok, call me dumb...or maybe I didn't get enough sleep...but I don't get it

 

The speedo will not be messed up as long as you keep the same overall wheel size. So its like I still have the same size wheel/tire as a 15, but the high sized rim I get the smaller a sidewall I got. As for the MPG.. Since I have a larger rolling diameter now it means a decrease in MPG because its more energy to get the wheels moving also they are heavier I think than stock.

 

Silver - i'm still confused. You say you have the same overall wheel size, but a bigger rolling diameter?

Also - if the overall wheel size stays the same, what causes the rubbing issues people w/ 17inch rims report?

 

try this..
http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

type in the stock wheel size then size for 17s 205-40-17

 

Specification Sidewall Radius Diameter Circumference Revs/Mile Diff
195/55-15 4.2in 11.7in 23.4in 73.7in 860 0.0%
205/40-17 3.2in 11.7in 23.5in 73.7in 860 0.1%

ok 1/10 of an inch bigger and 0.1% change in speedometer reading. Is that enough of a change to cause MPG problems yet small enough to not be important for odometer/speedometer?

And then is 1/10 of an inch size difference causes rubbing? or are other people using the wrong tires on their 17 inch rims that causes the problem.

 

I have 205-40-17 w/ no problems in rubbing.. but yeah it throws off the mpg
