Not a fan of chrome wheels, im more into the racing wheels but they look good. Car needs to be lowered and some tint's.


Any other plans for the car?

BALLIN!













Not really a fan of the wheels, but then again - its an opinion. Tires are okay - Kuhmo AST's I'd assume?

I'm a newbie here too (waiting for my 2010 Fit to be delivered).

I'm also HUGE fan of chrome wheels. I like all wheels if they look good, but I'm especially attracted to chrome wheels.

In my opinion - and apparently you'll get LOADS of opinions on this site - lower it (especially the front end) and it'll look great.

Personally, I like your wheels. In the end, all that matters is what you like, and what you think about your ride! Who cares about any negative commentary. Opinions are like rears, everybody has one.

Would be interested in seeing pics of any future mods!

This is a good start if you decide to go VIP style.

To OP:
Welcome. Hope you enjoy the new Fit.
It looks good. Hope you like the new wheels/tires. Anythings better than the stock tires.
I am not a fan of chrome either but to each his own.
I'm more of a dark, low and stealthy kind of guy.
I debadged and blacked out all my H emblems which not everyone is into but all that matter is that I like it.
Have fun with the new Fit.

I agree, the car needs to be lowered. Next mod will be some Eibach springs. The car is tinted, just not as dark as some. I chose practicality over looks with the tint. I've had darker and I don't like driving at night with it.

Not too bad. I wouldn't think I'll of you if I passed you in traffic. I wouldn't do it but the only thing that matters is that YOU like your mods. I have plenty of mods myself that I'm sure others wouldn't do. I.e. Led Audi lighs. Led interior lights and my hillbilly floor mats.

Chrome wheels are really hard to pull off. Its the design of the wheels that ruin it, and the height.

hey i think as long as its lowered with really tinted windows. its going to look amazing.

1 mod at a time right? no everyone can do everything at once, i hope it turns out well.

and welcome. btw

IMO: i like more stock looking Fits myself

The pinstripe is blinding. Not a chrome wheel fan but many people like them, the design of your wheel is nice, regardless of finish.

But that stripe would have to go, it breaks up the lines of the car. IMO.

That is all.... have a ball with your Fit. I love mine.
