Thanks guys, I took a lot of time considering whether I should get these wheels or not. I wanted a decent brand at a good price that wasn't too heavy. I also wanted something different, but not ricey. When I first saw them, they looked good but I almost thought they looked too ghetto and blingy, so they had to grow on me too, lol.
Specs:
17" Enkei T-Forks in gunmetal gray
+45 offset
19.15 lbs each
Works with TPMS
Tires are Hankook Ventus V2 Concepts at 205/40R17 (500 tread life and good in snow, too
)
These wheels were a perfect match for the semi-aggressive amount that I was going to drop it.

Thanks guys!
I do like the body moldings but they kind of break up the clean lines of the GE. Surprisingly, I have no door dings yet, but I also tend to park away from other cars. I've gotten a few comments off-forum about how I had fake LED taillights, but I do what I like and I think it looks good, it's not like I'm trying to get into a magazine or anything. I think they look really great on SSM.
Me and a friend again:

Something feels like it's...missing

How long your did your shocks last with that drop? If I didn't read I would have assumed you were on coilovers with a modest ride height lol. Looks good.
I would have to agree that normally I wouldn't be a fan of those wheels but they look good on your car.

Fitted - Thanks, I'm glad they look decent, but lately I've been wishing I had a second set of wheels to mix it up a bit.
Mullet - Got the sticker from decaldude.net, he also sells Fitfreak.net stickers. Lol I'm surprised you could tell which parking garage that was. It was storming bad one night and we were stuck at the mall so we did a mini shoot. Don't really have a crew I roll with up here, but I'm helping a crew from Houston expand into the DFW area. Check out whatthefitment.com and sign up if you're interested.
Wanderer - Thanks, my shocks still seem pretty good, I haven't noticed a leak or any unusual bounciness in the last 4-5 months. The spring rate is pretty solid and even though the amount of travel has changed, it seems to be holding up well.

Just a few photos around downtown...
I know you guys might be getting tired of looking at my near stock Fit lol. Big changes are coming this weekend, so this is the last time it will look like that.
Stay tuned...
