I sold the new silver wheels locally.Planning to leave my FIT with the stocks rims for now.With the OEM rims the car runs better and the MPG goes up too.Take care everybody....

They were 17s right? You realize your mpg will be off, whether you use the odometer to calculate it yourself or the car's mpg display. The odometer reading will be off because of the oversized wheels, therefore you can't calculate it accurately (unless you do the math to factor in the different wheel size) and the mpg calculator will be off because it just uses the odometer and fuel level to make the calculation. But if the wheels were heavier than the oem ones (very likely they were) then that could hurt your mpg. Also the car might not feel as lively in the corners w/ heavier wheels. But actually with 1" bigger wheels and tires the car should get BETTER mpg because your gear ratios would become longer and you'd be able to cruise at 60 mph for example at lower rpm.

Hi MEATBABY.THX for sharing this GOOD information my friend.I know that using a bigger wheel size or smaller our reading of our cars will change.With aftermarket rims or with the OEM rims i still love my FIT my friend....Take care bro.

I love my 16x7 Volk TE37s. 11.2 lbs. Lightest wheel in that size that I know of. Not even WEDs come close.

Hi to ALL members here in FF.It had been some time that i did not upload any NEW changes and updates about my GE8.Right now i'm using my FIT as a DD.I don't have any bad thing to said about the car.It had been a GREAT car.My warranty is VOID right now.The car has 41,000 miles and i ONLY take the car ONE time for warranty.For that first and ONLY time is was because about the "ON" and "OFF" switch of the AC.It was change because it stop working.I'm waiting for a NEW set of wheels for my car.I was running a set of Tenzo-R DC-5 in flat black and red pinstripe.I sold them.Then i get a NEW set of Tenzo-R TRACERS in hyper silver BUT i NEVER install them because i sell them.Then i buy a set of the OEM Honda FIT Sport 2013 BUT.....YES....i sold them too....I'm using my stock wheels right now.What can i said about the new rims for my car??? THEY AWESOME!!!I need to wait a few weeks to have them because they in transit from California to Puerto Rico.Why i sold ALL the other wheels?I sold the DC-5 because a get tired about them and was looking for a new look.I sold the Tracers because i change my mind installing them.I sold the 2013 OEM wheels because i want 17" wheels again....YES....And i buy them.....The NEW set are 17".I just can said that i think they will look really nice on my GE8.As soon i get them i will upload pictures and YES my friend i REALLY want to install this set.....I'm loving them.

^That was my first question too.

3 sets of Tenzo's are 3 sets more than 99.9% of car people I've ever met.

Agreed. I mean, I like the looks of most of their models. Just don't see 'em too often.
