Rims and Wheels

Just wondering what exactly sizes of Rims to go with the 2009 sport.
I know they come with 16in Rims and tires already but from people who have put new shoes on their rides IM curious as far as sizes.
I looking into some straight black rims... thanks

Its just like saying..... Coke and Pepsi.

Who cares if they are both the same thing, it was a generic question.
If it suits you i could change the title to (Rims and Tires, or What am i talking about?) hahah

Thanks for the observation and next time I'll take a few more seconds deciding what I want to put in the thread title!

Thanks for the website its appreciated.....projekz

I know what you are trying to say, but purchasing rims is not an investment... at all.

Question What brand?

If you don't mind -- what brand are you going with? I've been thinking Kumho Solus or Michelin Pilot Exalto A/S.

It's funny but all the tire places I go to around here will not put alternate sizes on the Fit because they say it will be rubbing the front strut.

Nice bro, Look forward to seeing it. Im still trying to play the waiting game hoping more springs are out soon for our cars along with other decent parts. Unlike when i bought the s2k, I had TONs of parts just waiting for it, I cant do that with the fit as there are no parts to really buy So I said to honda, no rush, Ill pick up my car end of march :P

I got the Goodyears Tire Rack has had one sale for a while, I wont have any rubbing issue on the strut since the inside lip of the wheel will be pushed out 7mm. And I have camber bolts to add some negative camber to prevent rubbing the fender.
