I like your work, but PF01's always look so good out of the box and so awkward when mounted...why is that?

thanx. i just like it simple. this is my 3rd fit so i kinda stick to the oem look. idk but the PF01 look good to me on the FiT. i think because of the concavity of the rims with the +43offset. if it's convex then it will catch more attention.

I think you're right. Either way you're looking good!

I kinda diggin' those Enkeis in 16 in fitment. Can't say I've seen but maybe one other car with them on here or elsewhere. Seen a few setups with those in 17 inch. I like the look you have going on. I think one of the things about that wheel is that it looks better in person than in pics, but I do agree that there is something strange about the design that is hard to work with. They are light, and quality wheels, so it's splitting hairs. Can't have all the cake and eat it too, unless you go custom forged or something super-jdm-bro.

Yup I saw the Jdp cf lip for base model. It looks good. I would do it but I second thought myself of deciding to add more lips, side skirts, or rear diffuser versus just the barebone stock look. I'm undecided at this point . Thanks!

I was going for PF01 in 17" too but I decided to go 16" just like factory stock size; and 17" is kinda defeat the purpose of lowering a fit on springs. Lol. The looks of these wheels r nice to me. It's just the concavity as I mentioned. The spokes don't really stand out clearly around the edge of the rim if u look at a distance.

Yes, they r quality rims as they claimed to b in their racing series. I rather rock these PF01 over some rota or drag dr-31. Lol. I have weight loss and mat technology as advantages compares to other replica brands out there.
