Does anyone know of a coil that goes low? Seems like most people that are posting can not reach where some of the Fits in Japan sit, the ones without bags. I have modded mine, but still not at the level I want to be looking for a coil I can go another inch.

Yea, r98's. And yea neither wheels are EVER on CL and any reps selling online like like 350 each. I hopped on these as soon as I saw the listing since I couldn't find r90's for the life of me, lol. Also, idk about 24 pounds each. That's about how much 18x10 xxr's weigh without tires. These are relatively light, true 2 piece. They actually brought my rpm and speedo back to how they would be with stock tires, since I was running 205/45/16 On the TE's which are alot smaller in diameter.

I'm running 15mm bolt on's in the rear. Otherwise...well, icky poo.

I'm assuming you've rolled the rears? I found a set on CL in Phoenix for a good price, but am going to hold out until I find a set of R90s or JCW wheels for a good price.

Back up...you already have Mini wheels. I had found a set on eBay and they ended up going for a grip.

Not to many pics of GE8's with NF210's so I thought I would post up if anyone else was interested. Its been a couple of months since installation so I figure it has settled up.

The R98 looks great on the Fit! That would've been my second choice.
I had no luck finding a used set of R90 for months so I brought mine from the dealer.
