Thanks! Its very unlikely they will fit usdm models because the shape is completely different and does not line up with the fender. The mounts are similar but a bit shorter as well.

I will need a few more things to make these work on my car

Summer mode looks awesome. The white wheels match the car so well and aero kit adds a nice little touch to it
Winter mode is not my style haha :P

Hey Mr I never knew about the Toyota 86 until last week. Kid across the street just got one. Black with black wheels. Looks good.

Thanks for your input but i really love the blue. Its brighter and pops more in person than the pics from phone show. I prefer it over black rims because you cant even see the design of blacks, and they end up looking like steelies so whats the point lol

Well seeing as I have blue theme throughout interior I guess your blue wheels are OK. When does the new plate go on?

Havent updated in a while, dont even know if anyone reads this forum anymore. But for the sake of continuing this thread, heres an update:

Full jdm conversion completed with custom painted mugen front lip. Jdm headlights retrofitted with morimoto d2s mini 4.0s, panamera shrouds, and diode dynamics 110mm HD halo switchbacks.

Also put some new bags on: airdynamiks struts with air lift 3p management. Installed it myself, and it rides a lot better than my air rex used to. Now that the fit is no longer being used for winter, itll stay on the bags this time

Heres some pics.

I'm kind of out of the Fit game, but damn, THIS is one impressive looking build. Well done.
