09 Fit Sport, I need a new set of wheels
So unfortunately someone stole all four of my wheels off my 2009 Honda Fit sport last night.
I need to buy all four new wheels and tires. I don't have comprehensive insurance so I'll have to pay out of pocket. Looking for something good but not too expensive. Any reccomendations? I'm open to OEM or aftermarket or really whatever works.

I’d just go on tirerack.com. Look at their wheel and tire packages for the car. They’ll fit and you’ll have a fresh start to just basically set and forget.
make sure you get tpms sensors unless you’re okay dealing with the light in the gauge cluster

I may do that, but hoping to go even cheaper. May try to find something used on craigslist. I love my fit, but it's pretty high mileage and beat up a bit so I don't want to spend a fortune on it.

The 4x100 Integra rims should fit, but it's always best to confirm (obviously difficult if your car has no wheels).
More problematic would be the fact that your info says that you're in L.A. and the Craigslist ad you linked to is in New Jersey.
The first place I would look would be junkyards. You might even find a wrecked Fit and then you'll be 100% sure the wheels will fit.
Otherwise, if you're looking for cheap wheels that will look decent and should fit (and are readily available), focus on 4-bolt Civic rims. At some point in the early 2000s the Civic went to 5-bolt wheels, but before that they should fit. I've got some 14 inch alloy Civic rims that I use for my winter tires and they fit fine on my 2010 Fit Sport.
Alternatively, if you're looking to be as economical as possible just find some steel rims. Clean them up and paint them and (in my opinion) they don't look bad. As a bonus, they're much less likely to be stolen than any sort of alloy/aftermarket rim.
More generally, if you're looking at wheels you want to know:
1) bolt pattern - you need 4 x 100 mm
2) bore center diameter - you need 56.1 mm (or larger; you can take up the difference with hub centric rings)
3) the wheel offset - the Fit Sport is ET53 mm
Unfortunately, when you're shopping on Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, or similar, most sellers aren't going to know anything outside of the bolt pattern. If you can get them to tell you what year and model car the wheels came from you can generally work backwards to find the relevant information.
Good luck.

Tomorrow, I'll pick up a bottle jack and some jack stands at harbor freight, and get em together! Hopefully before I get a street sweeping parking ticket.
