thanks. i would like to get the jdp carbon wing,and hopefully someone makes lip for bases, but nothing yet. and would like some under-braces cause this car is a wobble fest lol. and some cobalt friction brake pads and some slotted rotors. and 5mm spacers for the back tires.

I thought the optional HFP wheels for the GE's were a different design then the ones for the GD's

Your car has crabs ... on the rear tail pipe. How do you think the carbon bronze color will look on my storm silver Fit?

Bronze on silver/gray will not look right IMO. I think the currenty "factory aftermarket" rims for the GE look nice and collegehillshonda.com has a clearance on them right now, about $180 per and they're silver too.

I was actually considering photoshopping the rims in on my color Fit. You saved me the trouble. Thanks for taking the time putting the picture up. How are those Ventus HR2's for ride comfort?

for the price they do fine,not too much vibration and road noise. but the mpg has gone down,but not enough for me to care.

Here's what I ended up with... I guess its the silver verson.

Part number 08W16-SLN-100 now superseded with last 3 digits -300.

+55 Offset

Width is 6 1/2"

Manufacture for Honda must be Enkei

Hub


Thanks for helping me out gwai-lo. Anybody know where I should buy the wheel nuts from?

I must eat my words, so please someone pass me the bbq sauce so it tastes better going down! Good job, that does look pretty good, bet they look even better on Orange Revolution

You need to make sure you are using a conical seat and not a tapered one. Looks like your nuts are tapered. For more info search the forums. I'm actually buying after market lugs very soon for my ride and I'm getting these to make them fit correctly.
