Can't decide on which rims to get, so I'm starting this poll. In the end, I know that it is my decision, so I guess this is just for suggestions, I like all the rims, leaning more towards the 57s and XD9 though. If you have any other suggestions, please say it and make my decision even tougher.

Car color is Blackberry Pearl.

All rims will be either 16x7 or 17x7 around +42~+45 offset in Silver. XD9 will be 17x7 since it does not come in 16s.

16s will be lowered on T1R S Coils, 17s will be lowered on Eibach Pro Kit. I'll decide on the size, but open to suggestions.

Thanks

Rays Gram Lights 57s (Discontinued so might be hard to get)


Works Emotion XD9

 

my vote goes to the work emotion xd9

 

The gramlights FTW

 

Thanks for posting this as I am in the same predicament right now after I dropped our FiT with Tanabe DF210s.

My choice between the 4 wheels would be the Works Emotion XD9, hands down. Are these available in +45 offset? What tires are you intending to mount with these 17 x 7 wheels?

Where would be the best place to buy these in the USA? Price?

 

I vote Ray's, the Work Emo looks nice but they are kinda heavy...For me if Ray's is on my list they go straight to the top(assuming I want to spend that much...=)

 

Thanks for everyones vote, keep the suggestions coming!

Work has custom offset, so you can get any offset you like. But if you don't XD9s have +53, +47 and +42 that'll work on our cars. I'm still looking for prices, but I'll def let you know once I find out what shop has the best prices.

Yea, I'm torn between the two. XD9s are heavy, but I don't mind it being heavy, it's a daily driver, I have a WRX if I want to go fast. The Works are actually more expensive than the 57s, at least that's with all the places I've checked.

 

I just ordered some work emo xt7. Cost about 1700 total. Thats with the custom gunmetal because its not the normal color. Still waiting on them though. It takes forever!!!! But my choices are gram lights then works in this pick.

 

For appearance I like the XD9's. They'd go well on my Silver Fit. For weight, the RPF1's...a bit "boring", though I do like simplicity and Enkei's been around long enough to not worry too much about needing a replacement...

Anybody know the weight on the stock wheels?

 

Ahhhh! Please don't buy the XD9s! I just grabbed a set of bronze 17x7s in a +43 offset. Need to wait until the end of the month to get tires and have them mounted.

Please, buy something else!

 

Please post pictures, Umop-apisdn. I would like to see it in bronze. TIA.

 

^^^Holy Signature Batman!! lol


I am digging the 57's for sure

 

the Rays gram lights aren't that light either. If I remember correctly, i did a search a long time back and they are around 18 to 19 pounds each at 17by 7.5. Only if you get the Gram lights 57F, then they are forged. All the other 57 series are cast. The 57F's are 15 pounds each.

 

I voted the ray grams just because I love the look and think they will look tight on the fit.

My second choice would be the works

 

I voted RPF1's because they are one of the cleanest wheels to go on a fit.
My brother had the xd9's on his FA5 and I really liked them, so those would definitely not disappoint.

 

Please do post up some pics once you get them mounted.

 

Have you considered?


DC-5 Version 2
SPECIAL ORDER PRODUCT
Finish: Matte Charcoal Machined
Dark silver paint with little or no shine and a machined lip.
17X7 4-100/114 42MCM

 

I voted RPF1.

One of the most underrated wheel out there. Clean design, cast formed but weighs lighter than a handful of Forged rims.

 

rpf1s are significantly lighter than anything on the list.
xd9s looks good than the rest.

so think... are you more of a function > form or vice versa!? goodluck.

 

Probably not the best pic, but here you go! I have a set of black Mcgard spline drive lugs and Work centercaps on the way!







Will post pics when mounted!

 

Congrats! Very nice indeed.
