MR got new rims
Cat :x
What the people with slammed cars have a hard time admitting is that they bottom out and scrape a lot... I have to slip my clutch in 1st after coming almost to a complete stop to keep from scraping on speed bumps in some parking lots. My car needs to sit lower than it does according to some people that don't have to drive where I do.

Def a difference between GD and GE's. I love GD's but I couldn't handle driving a lowered one. Mine is lowered on Swifts (you know, Coyote) and I have *yet* to scrape. Even today on one of the steepest dips in Athens (full of scrapes from other cars), I didn't scrape at all. I'm also hoping to get new wheels/tires in September with 205/50/16 tires so I'll also be raised up just a little bit and at the same time reducing wheel gap a bit more.
I like the style (black/polished), Cat, but I'm not sure I like the design of the rims. But if you like them, then that's what is important!

If you lower it Cat, you can forget about those " on one knee" inspections! Trust me, for all the crap I have given you about needing to lower your car I think you are smart to leave it alone. My poor Fit needs to repainted front to rear, never mind the bottom! Wheels were a great choice, they will really "finish it off" with the CF hood. Just be careful for all those young-uns looking to race ya! LOL

Nah, go for it! It will egg on the haters even more. It would be even funnier if your sticker said "You just got passed by your grandma" And I mean that in only a complimentary way by the way....


I love it! Some guy walks up to me yesterday at the show who owns a classic Nova and said, You know I think it is great somebody your age owns an import that they show. There was a little old gray haired lady beside me showing her 1960 Corvair! She looked like my Grandma and sit in her little chair all day with a blanket over her. I was sitting there thinking ok that will be me at that age but I will be rocking a riced out Honda still!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cat :x
PS Fit won a trophy for the Top 4 Sport Compacts- Import Division. We were in the grouping with Nissan, Toyota, Scion and the Honda!
You have a nice looking, super clean, eye catching car, I am not surprised that you scored a win with it.... You aren't as old as I am and my car is modified with disabled veteran license plates and handicapped parking placard along with the supercharger and other performance modifications.. Most notably are the bugs on the windshield and dog pee stains on the wheels and tires.
