It's been a while, But here's what's happened.
 
First off, I just want to say, I love my fit. I bought it right after my Honda Accord crapped out. I have a taffeta white GE8 and have been daily driving it since.

I bought some Rota Grids that came equipped with some rubber.

Than, traded those wheels off to a guy that traded his Fit for a Porche.

I traded those 15in Rota Grids for a K&N Air Intake, a Megan Axel back exhaust, some JDM tail lights and some black Rota Slips without tires.

I just got them put on today and thought I'd share the first sight of my beautiful car!

I like your wheels. Mine are here - I bought a set of center caps from Rota dealer and using set of shit I forget the name of lug nuts. You should not be using the Honda chrome nuts on these wheels as they are not the correct seat.

Oh I stole my wheels from a guy for $100 and found a set of one year old tires for $400. :wiggle:

Can't say I like those. At first glance they look like steel wheels without hubcaps. (Sorry...Wheelcovers) If your Fit was black it would look Boss but white? Nope.

Right. I will take them off. Oh what do you run?

For real, what is your problem?

You have a habit of doing this, someone will post about their Rotas and then you come into the thread, post a picture of your car, brag about getting them for $100, someone compares them to steelies and you make some remark.

Grow up.

They are cheap, replica wheels. If that's what you want, great; at this point I don't really care. I've grown to understand that some people are just interested in supporting authenticity.

But why the need to brag all the time? You got $400 wheels for $100. That's 75% off. I've bought BBS RG-R's for $400 ($3000 new; 86% off), TE37's for $200 ($2200 new; 90% off), Work Equips for $300 ($3800 new; 92% off), BNIB Advans for $400 ($2000 MSRP; 80% off).

I don't post those numbers all the time, nor will I ever post them again; but you really need to step down off your soap box and realize...nothing you've done to your Fit is innovative or even all that appealing.

Whew. I don't know which one to use this morning.

I only posted to the OP to show I have the same wheels and like him like them. So they are inexpensive. Who cares?

I have the stock aluminum wheels and tires with a thicker sidewall. It's not worth putting different rims on a 4 door unless they're the same color as the car. You'll end up looking like you're driving a fake rice burning fart can.

I have my Sport wheels and tires still.

The OP and I like the look of the Rotas so just let us enjoy them.

To each their own...

I like these wheels on my car. This is just my daily driver. I got the wheels for a steal and I like them better than the stock sport wheels that it came with.

This car will never be anything fantastic, I dont want it to ever be a show car, or a track car. With new wheels, intake and axle back exhaust it is a bit more fun to drive. That is all I wanted.

I've got a 240sx that I am trying to turn into my track car, slowly but surely.

I'm happy with my car, and that's all that matters.
One day I'll have different wheels, I don't need authentic works or rays on this car. I'm not going to push it hard enough to ever cause damage to these wheels.

I'm not here to impress you, I'm here to learn, share and enjoy owning a Honda Fit.
