White Wheels - What's Out There For GE?
 
After all I went through with sizing, measuring, choosing and finally ordering some wheels last fall, it's crazy that I'm even thinking this, but...I sure think some white wheels would look nice on my car.

For the Fit, I'd prefer a nice clean & basic 5-spoke, like the Enkei's that Mitsubishi ran on their Evo 5 WRC cars back in the day. Any ideas (and details) would be appreciated:

Here's a pic of a design I'd really like in white:

Here's a 7-spoke that ain't bad, but not my preference:

And finally, a 6-spoke design that's OK, but not great:

I like the third option esp that size.


the first 2 are too big for my tastes
1st is too wide and blocky looking
2nd is just a little too blocky looking.


maybe the first one looks funny bc of the wide angle lense...

anybody notice that the black plastic under the window on the back was extended.
i think it looks really good.

i would have to disagree, maybe if it was shaved / moulded into one whole piece, that will look cleaner. I like the rear bumper though with the black bottom.

i like the second option

Try:

Advan RG
Advan RGII
Buddy Club QF
Desmonds Regamaster
Mugen MF10L
Sprint Hart CP-Fs
Volks TE-37s
Work EmoWork Emotion XD-9

Some offsets varies.

#2 would look really nice on your ride with the drop you have bro!!

Thanks for the suggestions & leads - I'll have to start looking them up.

While not a big fan of most 5-spoke designs (way too many back in the 80's and 90's), I do like them on small, high performace cars. The two cars that popped into my mind when thinking of this were:

Ford Focus RS

Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 5 WRC car (this is a model I built several years ago)

I personally would not get the first set in any color, they are fake regamasters, which to me is majorly played out.

My choice is the Works in the second pic, they look awesome, and I think they style of wheel goes really well with the GE*

Never been a fan of the new buddy clubs with the pinstripe on the lip, but I did have a set of real white QF's back in the day on my EK hatch.

well everybody here's seems like they dislike replica wheels but since my car is a dd that i only use for and back from the university i don't care if they're fake or not as long as they look good, after all my fit is not a race car. i was lookin at the rota track r and gt3 either in white or red, i own a blue fit, ithink either color would look nice but the white one looks good on the track r's.http://www.weaksauceparts.com/store/...t_17856_01.jpghttp://www.wheeldb.com/images/Rota-TrackR-Red-Royal.jpggt3--->http://www.sono-tuning.com/images/rota/gt3_red.jpghttp://www.modacar.com/Merchant2/gra...ota_gt3_wh.jpg

I think the first set looks like someone slap a "Spoon" sticker on there.

Also look up Gram Lights 57.

What's your price range? I'm going to get the Konig Retracks probably but you can get the Countersteers. They are very affordable. Or some all white Buddy Clubs.

AP_ONE Feb 6, 2009 07:48 PM

I owned white wheels once and said Id never do it again. I was anal, I kept them super clean and it didnt matter, they indeed started to turn colour with time. They were mugens, I loved them and i was happier to get ride of them :)

choose your colour wisely.

As per the first set, For a verty limited time spoon sports offered the sw388 with their logo on the wheel and painted yellow, Looked sharp on the right colour, as per white wheels like that, you can find them by desmond regamaster, good luck man

get kosei k1's in white, they are lightweight and easy to clean, you might have to search around to find a set but it's worth it
here's my old set on my crx back in 2001ish

yep, you are correct, but the ones shown at the top are fakes with spoon stickers on them. I owned a set of genuine sw388's and the finish shown above is not even close.

Looks like Rota Slipstreams in 17s.
