Camber bolts finally installed had around for about three months set at -1 and alignment waited due to needing to get new tires.

nothing exciting, but pressured up the spares (donuts) on both my fits last night.

might be a good time for everyone to get those spares up to 60psi as temps are falling.

I can't tell with the wheel itself, they are a very, very good rep or real.

The caps on the other hand, resemble nothing Volk makes, the only wheel I've seen with a similar design comes from Advan:



That's what leads me to believe they're reps.

Rota Grid V is almost indistinguishable from the outside from what i've seen. They changed the lug orientation to mimic the TEs and even the VIA stamps are by the valve stems. I'm sure side by side it'd be a different story but in pics I can't tell anymore lol

I have never seen those centercaps either but have seen Advan/Work caps that are similar like you posted.

Cool

Just put on vent visors on my 2013 fit and went on smooth. I also am close to being done the 500 mile break in of the Fit so I can start seeing how much better it is then my old 02 Cavalier was that I traded in for my Fit. Mine is Crystal Pearl Black.


I am just under 400 miles on the odometer right now!

Wheels are real but not sure on the center caps, bought in ebay from thailand and the seller said that it comes from TEs.

Yea come to think of it. If volk did make those centercaps. Itd be for a different wheel design. Not for te37

Volk center caps are crazy nice. They have two o-rings on the back side that hold it in the wheel very nicely. Also virtually impossible for someone to steal them as they're only really removable from the backside of the wheel, so as long as you got security lug nuts they're good. Prying them out from the front would totally damage them and therefore be pointless.

Bought the fit last night. Added a jinx sticker while still at the dealership. Got it home and attacked the two year old pin striping for two hours. Need to finish stripping off the adhesive today.

Congrats on the purchase! & I'm not too fond of the pin striping either, so good job there. Look around on the Forums if you plan on modding your Fit. It really is a great car and community.

Thanks! I've been lurking the forums for the last week or so.

sadly, this forum moves much slower than I'm used to.

In any event, no actual mods today, but I ordered the s204 lip and progress RSB today. I'm going to play with the adjustable spoiler mod this weekend and maybe play with some plastidip for the lower rear bumper section and emblems. I just wish we had a place for build threads that wasn't just the pics/vids section.

Hmmm, what model are those from?

I have been around Volks for awhile and have never seen those caps

Nice setup, that is perfect IMO

Damnit you just reminded me

I am taking the Panda in on Saturday to get Oil/filter and tire rotation so I will make sure they fill up the spare too.

Congrats, what color did you end up getting?

We missed you on Saturday

Sorry to hear you had some trouble over the weekend
