The roof is vinyl. Also looks like the 5zigen is a clear winner, just like I thought it would be

5Zigens for me. Silver color wouldn't look too bad either.

I'd do the buddy clubs.
a lot of people here have 5zigen and i dont doubt their quality, but how often do you see white/blue lip wheels?
be unique :]

not to jack your thread or anything but where did you get vinyl for your roof to make black like that and how much does it cost?

I vote Buddy Club, mostly because your example pics are not how the 5 Zigens or the Rotas would actually look on a Fit, they are both Concave face which would only be available in 9" or wider.

For me what actually took priority over looks was........

1. offset, I wanted at least +42 and preferably a little more.

2. do they come with concentric rings ? Was prepared to have my machine shop make them if needed.

3. Weight? Not a lot of power, so weight of the wheels is more of an issue on the Fit than on most cars.

(but that is just me being my typical function over form type of guy)

Then color and style

(made and sent your custom aluminum battery hold down bracket BTW, should get it by early next week thru post office)

the 5zigen's design looks somewhat similar to my enkei T-forks (- the concave and the deep offset of course)


and here's a photoshop i did of the buddy clubs


white / gold looks nice though, thats what i wanted to go with at first but couldn't find proper offset.

buddy club P1's for me

personally, i like contrast between my wheels and car color. i'm not crazy about white wheels on a white car but i think the blue lip is just enough to offset that.

Between the 3 choices given, I like the 5zigen NR+ in gun metal.
Will definitely look sharp!
