Nice wheels...for stock height?

I did the whole mod thing with my last car (VW GTI). I had it so low I needed a steel skid plate to stop the oil pan from getting busted open. Aaanyways, I have no plans to lower the Fit, I bought the Sport because I can live with the stock look. I think the stock 16" alloys look good and I want to use them for winters. I have seen allot of sexaay 16 and 17" wheels on many GE's but most of them are lowered or need to be lowered to pull off the look. Does anyone have pictures or suggestions of wheels that look good at our 4x4 height ?

I kind of like these.

i say keep it the stock wheels. most wheels are lower offset than stock. the lower the offset on stock height the worse it looks

If those are the optional Honda 16's, I think they loook nice.

Beware they will sink deeper into your wheel well, as their offset is significantly lower than the OE alloy.

yeah those optional Honda wheels look terrible mounted. It will look like you are rolling on 4 spares from an angle, LOL...

No wheel but factory will look right at stock ride height, lower that thing down some man!
