Not sure. The sort-of official Noblesse GE8 has the swap in it from Japan, but I imagine they are all custom. Finding a Chinese part would be tough, it seems. There are a lot of Fits in the rest of the world, and a surprisingly large aftermarket, despite what we want to complain about in the states.

Minkara Carview has more registered Fits (6,297) than any other Honda besides the Odyssey and Step Wagon.

They are probably heavy, but these wheels look killer on th Fit, and are super cheap right now. A winter wheel design from Momo.

Here is a chop of them at 16" and stock height(think the actual wheel I scaled is the 17" design.) It comes in 4x100 +38 and 6.5" width: Momo Winter 2 custom rims

Some stock wheel cues, and a classy euro style multi-spoke. I'm in love.

HKS makes a GE8 turbo kit? Thought it was only for the GE6. Why the hell can't they just ship some of these over here and sell them through US distributors? Someone needs to get on them about this who is in the market to build something, but doesn't have the time and resources to learn/implement a DIY solution.

edit: suckers are pricey in general. Personally, I'd go DIY unless someone comes up with a similar deal for less money stateside.

Adams Motorsports Park is a go-kart track. It's tiny as hell and you're in 2nd gear most of the time. It's almost like autocross. Fit owners need to graduate from that infant track and go to a real track.

By the way, TEO - have you seen this video where an M3 encounters a test-lapping B-spec Mazda 2?
