Thanks, they are Kumho AST 205/40/17 The reason I got these wheels is because of the fact they are 17's and they only weigh 15lbs. Make sure to get a +40 offset, had some 17's with a +42 offset and they scrubbed a lot. The main reason I got new wheels though was the weight difference, I wouldn't advise getting anything heavier then these. The old wheels killed my performance and gas mileage, went from 36 down to 29-31 with the heavier 17's, now I am back up to 33-35, but I did add a header.
Scratch that, my old wheels were +40 and they scrubbed, my new ones are +42 and they don't, must have been hitting the pipe when I wrote that.

Ive had black wheels on almost every car I have owned in every color, but wanted to try something new. Theyre dirty after a rain, but thats like any other wheel, it just shows more dirt.
For my White Racing Hart CP8's: Before even having the tires mounted I washed 'em, dried 'em, and waxed 'em. I did the same process after the tires were put on. Then they were mounted on the car.
They were pretty easy to keep clean after all that but it did require a bit of simple and quick mantenance.
Here's my run down:
~Before calling it a night I would hose down the rims. OK - I missed a few nights here and there for various reasons.
~At least once a week I would do a quick wash on the rims, nothing to detailed just a quick slap of soap and water, and then dried 'em off.
~At least once a month I would wash, dry, and wax 'em.
~For car shows, meets, and/or off days I just wanted the wheels to look perfect I'd give 'em the wash, dry, and wax routine.
I always got compliments on my car and how clean the rims were. That surely made me feel like they were worth the $$$$.
hey man i saw your car domain what kind of intake is that who makes it and how would you rate it i like your car im still deciding between a red fit a blue one or a black one the white silver and orange dont do anything for me nice work keep it up
I just got my Fit last week and I'm buying wheels next week. I'm staying with 15's and I plan to keep the stock tires (most likely). I definately like the price of the Konigs... I don't want to blow a ton of cash for wheels on a $15k car... My primary concern is weight, but it would be nice if they look good too. I've found plenty of good pics of black and bronze Heliums, but the only pics of silver Heliums are long distance shots...the finnish looks like it's very textured... can anyone help me out here?
Also considering Bright lights... they are only slightly heavier and the polished lip looks a lot nicer.
