Wheels and Tire Choice

Hey'all. New to the forum. New to the Fit, purchased in around September. Love that lil' bugger and I've been reading up on the forum and have excited myself to the point of thinking about new tires and wheels. So...

I drive a 2008 Red Honda Fit Sport. Comes with the 15" wheels, which are great but I think some 16" tires and wheels would give the car a sportier look. I don't have expansive financial resources, and I realize this isn't a cheap buy, but I was wondering if any of you guys/gals could possibly help me piece together a decent set. I like the way the black wheels look, and the lesser spokes (?) the better.

Take it easy on me... my knowledge is novice at best.

Thanks

Thanks! Do you think a lot of people utilize Craigslist and then finish their own rims? How do you people pay for this stuff? haha

I finished my own wheels from a guy on CL. It was painted over so I stripped the wheels and polished them up. You should have an idea if the wheels your getting worth the extra effort to fix. Generally wheels that are not in good condition have a lower asking price.
