keep 15" Enkei or 16" stock rims?
keep 15" Enkei or 16" stock rims?
Might upgrade '07 AT Fit to '10 MT Fit.
Any opinions as to whether I should sell the old Fit with the light-weight 15" Enkeis (rpf1), or swap the 16" rims onto the old Fit first and then sell it? TPMS issues?
I could get crazy and buy cheap tires and rims and then sell it, and keep the Enkeis and the new stocks, haha. The old stock 15" rims are gone, freeway damaged.
2011 Fit should basically be the same as 2010, right?
Oh, and nav only comes optionally with an A/T Sport?!

If you are not in a hurry to sell your old fit, why not try and find some OEM wheels that you can get for a steal or try finding any wheels that you can get fairly cheap that has the same lug nut pattern that's decent looking.
Sell then your 15" Enkei RPF1 so that you'll have money to add to your next purchase of another set of wheels that you want for the 2010 Fit.
Or, just like you said, swap the stock GE8 16" wheels, then temporarily roll on those 15" RPF1's then try and sell/swap plus cash with someone that has 16" RPF1.
IMO, it is a waste to sell the old car with those nice wheels included.
With the TPMS, either cover up the warning light, ignore it, see if you can install the TPMS into the RPF1, or you can get fancy and try making a pressurized chamber for each of the TPMS. There's a DIY in here somewhere where they used PVC pipes to house the sensors.
Your call my friend. GL with your decision!!
I'm pretty sure 2010 and 2011 should be the same, and a navigation system is always optional.

Well I'm in no rush, since there's nothing wrong with my '07.
Haha, that's a nice TPMS trick! Never thought of that.
Yeah, I agree about it being a waste to sell it with the Enkeis, really.

Keep the RPF1s! You aren't going to find lighter wheels as you more than likely realize or you wouldn't have them... Go ahead and get crazy if you must, there are a lot of great looking cheap wheels all over the place that are going to look great on your GD..... Don't trade off the new stock 16"s so you will have them in case you need to use them.... If you do, it will reinforce you to get the RPF1s back on your car ASAP and you will have the OEM wheels for when you trade off the GE.
