I finally got my dark Honda wheels installed after about a 3 month wait for them. I like the color on my MR 09, but they still look a bit small. I will post pics later as it was dark when I got home and work comes too early.

 

Pics pleeeeaaaaasssse!

 

It's probably, if I had to guess, the offset that's making them not look quite right to you. IIRC the Honda optional wheels for the fit have a +55 offset. So they are prob sunken very far into the wheel wells.

 

Very true, you could probably perk them up with 5MM spacers.
Plus darker doesnt give your brain as much to work with, so smaller may register.
The Fit is small, IMHO any wheel 16 or bigger should look perfectly fine

 

Here is my 07 with very dark wheels and they are relatively tiny 15 inchers.
If they happen to look good to you it can only be because the offset is 38 vs the stock 55 offset...= they stick out 17MM further

 

Looking forward to seeing those on the 09!

 

any bigger than 16's look bad to me...

and yes it's probably the OEM offset :/

 

These wheels make me wish the factory brakes weren't so small.

 

Hey Speedee,
What you talkin about? Those look good, I'd consider 5MM spacers and call it a day

 

HaHa I sold the little 8.5 lb SSR's because in my humble opinion 38 offset looks like poop on the 09's.

Im prolly going with 16" SSR type F with a 44 offset, then maybe add depending on how they look, 5mm spacers on the rear.

very much agree, did the 15's last time mainly out of an obsession for minimal rotating weight
The other bad thing with bigger than 16's, it is damn hard to find a wheel anything under 16lbs

I used to have these on my car.
gunmetal grey

 

what offset, and size/width are those niko? They look good. What did you swap them out for?

 

wow niko those look really good!
wish you were lower

where are all the slammed GE's at??!?!

 

we're waiting for teh vendors to get off their arses.

and waiting for Bama Bail Out Bucks to fix our gazillion pot holes here in Northern Illinois

 

love these rims. they were my favorite wheels.
then the girl friend went for a drive and hit a pot hole.
to top it off they don't make these anymore. been
looking for some for years but nothing.



I am lowered. been lower. I'll post pics. I also maid
a DIY for every one. link is in my sig




I know what your talking about. I lived in NJ
most of my life so far and pot holes are everywhere.

 

 

that last ge is pretty damn hot

 

dark wheels? me!

 

I won't be lowering mine until I wear a bit more new off it (Only 3900 miles). Plus I am still trying to decide what suspension to go with. Oh and I have no disposable income at the moment.

 

oh man. i must be really drunk. mah beer goggles *or, actually rum goggles* think these GE's are hot. hahahahahahah

nah, some good lookin cars in here!!
