Another base model that made me wish I chose a base model. Very nice.

Yeap, since it is very hard from where I'm from to find rims with this kind of spec in 4x100, I had to go the hard way and converted my pcd to 5x114.3.

This ain't the base model though, it's the JDM RS version. Equivalent to USDM Sport model

Tyres
205/40 all around


Those rims are NICE!!!!!!! I mean REALLY NICE!!!!!!! They look great on the car. Are they really only 17"??? The way they fill the wheel well, I'd swear they were 18 if not 19 inch. Please post up more pics from different views.
I'm curious also as to which Ewings they are... any one know?

They do look a lot like the Work Euroline DH's though. Speaking of Eurolines, which series are these below? and specs?

macs, did you just have the hubs drilled for 5 studs, or did you actually swap the hubs for a 5 lug setup?

Thank you very much sire, I appreciate the compliments. Yea they really are 17's, maybe it looks like they really fill the wheel well because its low? (kidding, no bragging intended )

I've really given up trying to find out to which series do these Ewing wheels belong to sigh..

The rims on the Camry: Spirit Sagest 20 x 8,5-9,5. Well I see a tiny resemblance to Euroline DH's but it's quite different since the DH's are five spoke in design and the Sagest are six spoke wheels.

I will post a couple of different angled pics from the same photo shoot, and I'll try to find some bright ones as well.

Thanks man, at first i wasn't really sure about em but now I'm just really in love with these wheels . I just can't picture my Fit with different set of wheels, so I'm sticking to these for now

I went the really hard way and had to get it drilled for 5 studs..

But the place that I did it at has been around forever and came recommended, and almost everyone does it down here (re drilling the hubs) and me nor my friends that have done this haven't experienced anything bad so far

Yeah I think because of the drop they fit in perfect. Wow, Spirit Sagest? I thought they were some Euroline series... I guess I have Euroline's on my mind. I can't stop thinking about the DH's since they just discontinued them in January Been wanting a set ever since, I really can't stop thinking about them.. Just can't decide between 16 or 17.. I know the 17's will look better, especially since I'm not going that low, but between the roads here, ride quality & wheel weight I'm really thinking the 16's would be a better choice. What do you think? Any suggestions?

Wow the new pics really show the combo nicely, especially the brighter pics. Perfect match with the rims on the car! As for the rear tires, I'm not a big fan of the stretched tire look, I like to have some meat on the tires. I'd probably go with the 215's although most would stay with the 205 slightly stretched look. Another reason I think I should go with the 16's. I really can't stop thinking about the Eurolines for my GE8.

I'm really curious on how would they look on a Honda Fit, make sure to post pics once have them on

I guess it would be a never ending argument wether to go with 16's or 17's, but 17's works much better for me. Especially if you dont really want to go that low, go 17's all the way man. Hey, that's just my opinion hehe

I guess I went with the 205's because I didn't want much rubbing on the tires, I succeeded at that but now I gotta face the fact that if I have extra cargo in the back, or just people then its rubbing on the outer lip of the rims hahaha

Thumbs up

Below are links for 2 posts which show a GD3 with 16" Eurolines DH (polished silver).

https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/204278-post145.html
https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/205101-post157.html

They look great.
I can't decide 16 or 17, silver polish or chrome....

The 205's will definintely rub less, but the rim... haha, quite the dilemma.

Damn, the GD with DH's look HAWT! Me waaaant hahaha!

16" looks good on the GD, but I'm sure 17" are the way to go if you have a GE since the fenders on the GE is much bigger compared to the GD's.

I recently installed Recaro Style seats, and an Open Air Intake system (did i get that right? meh).

I'm still having some problems with the seat brackets, one of them is being positioned a bit too high up. I guess it has to do with how the gas tank is positioned right under the drivers seat. The other one is positioning of both of the seats itself, minor adjusting should fix this.

Yes they are customized/self made brackets that I had it made in a local metal shop that did specialize with seat brackets. I had to made one (or two to be exact) since the rarity or low availability of Recaro brackets for the GE8. Going to the shop again next week to see if I can solve this problem. Wish me luck guys haha.

ps: I will post pictures once the seats are properly installed
