What size tires you running as I hate to say it but i want to be honest,

Tires look cheap and far too large (sidewall), It would look so much better to wait till you get springs on it so you dont have that over 4x4 look happening.

Otherwise, you CAN never go wrong with anything made by mackin

Like you I cant wait for a quality intake to be avaliable as well as a good exhaust!!!!

185-55-16 factory size bridgestones. i am not a huge fan of super low profile tires and where i live the streets suck and have i bent and cracked a few sets of rims because of them. i dont think it looks to bad but i want to see what it looks like when its lowered before i decide to change rim/tire size

Very nice.
I went the springs route first. Seeing your car makes me want to get rims even quicker!

Cool man, even by doing a 195-50-16 will make it look much better and handle only 100x better then the oem rubber honda uses on the fit sport.

Once dropped man

everything I'm reading says "Rays TE38s" are knockoffs of real RAYS ENGINEERING VOLK TE37's

They don't look like real Volks, not bashing just curious.

I for one like them and applaud your choice in wheels! May i ask how much? From where? and Size of wheel and tire? Also any rubbing taking place?

-Sorry just found the post from the OP!

Just have to find a nice set of thicker sway bars for the fit and you could have a little go Kart on your hands! Oh just a quick question, if the tire size if the same is there a reason why the side wall looks so much thicker? Maybe I am missing something?!?
