Enkei RPF1 15" 41mm 9.5lbs

Enkei RPF1 15" 41mm 9.5lbs -> Enkei Racing RPF1 Bright Silver Paint

Will that take the stock Fit Sport tires and look normal?
Will they rub?
Is there something lighter/better?

I want to (1) reduce the weight and (2) similar finish to stock Sport rims, ie silver/brushed look.
Thanks!

So many wheels don't spec the weight... I guess most people shop looks only. Well the lightest I've seen for 15" is 9.5lbs so far...

With stock suspension, there won't be any rub problems with 41mm offset and stock tire? I guess that's the biggest concern.

Hey if you stick with the stock tire 195 55 15 event lowered, with this wheel 15-7-41mm you will not occur any rubbing issues.
Good luck and those wheels looks awsome..

I'm running 205/50/15 and they only rub in the front on BIG bumps. The rest of the time it's great!

Well you can go 1/2 the price of RPF1's and add 1 lb w/ Konig Heliums (10.5 lb @ 15")... They're cast wheels, but probably the most cost effective if you're trying to reduce unsprung weight.

The SSR-C, SW388, and CE28N are all in the 8 lb range but probably not worth the extra $$$ on a FiT. Unless $2k for rims is no prob to you, then it is worth it I suppose.

(nitpick) 10.8 lbs, according to their website:

Nah, I don't want crazy expensive.

I'm running the Enkei RPF-1s 15" +41mm offset with General Exclaim UHP 195/55VR15s and I RUB! I'm lowered on Tein S-Tech springs. I never rub in the back, only in the front. With a little massaging here and there I have gotten rid of the rubbing tho.
