light weight 15 inch wheels
I am looking for the lightest possible wheels that come close to the stock offset and width. I don't plan on lowering my car at least not yet.
I feel the best way to get the most performance out of the FIT is to significantly reduce the un-sprung weight or rotating mass. if there are 16's out there I would consider it.

Any recommendations ???

I put some HD Tuning 15x6.5" +42mm on my car 2 months ago 9lbs a piece. This is the only place I know of that carries them.

THANKS for the info but their website sucks. IT was not working well and when it did there were no wheel weights or prices.

Volks are pretty light and strong. My 15" RE30s weighed in at 8-9lbs.

I am in agreement with you about reducing unsprung weight and rotating mass..... I am using 8 1/2 lb 7" X 15" 42mm offset Enkei RPF1 wheels with 16 lb Conti Pro Contact performance touring tires that I got from Tire Rack..... The handling, acceleration, steering response, braking and ride comfort have drastically improved..... I consider this combination to be money well spent...... I have limited funds, am a frugal person by nature and have nothing but good feelings about my purchase.
