New Shoes

Bought these wheels and tires for just $475 via Craigslist. 17 x 7 ADR Propulsion with 38 offset mounted on 205/40/17 (Federal) tires. Did I mention they are brand new and were still in the box when I picked them up; and the tires still have the stickers on them? The former owner had to get rid of it 'cause he sold his Civic and bought a BMW instead. Not really my choice of rims but for the price, it's not bad. Check out my red lugs.

Looks good! I'm new to this Forum. Picking up my '10 Fit Sport today, actually. How did changing out the wheels affect the ride quality?

Thanks! I actually got more drastic change in handling and ride quality when I lowered the car. It got more responsive as far as handling is concerned and the ride quality of course, is more stiff than stock.

Can't beat the price. I got Tanabe DF210's.

None that I know of. I keep looking under the wheel well and checking out my tires for any sign but have not noticed any yet. I usually use my car by myself as a daily driver (for work, errands, etc.) We use our CR-V when my family is with me so I don't think I will have any problem with rubbing--- unless I start hauling heavy stuff, I guess.

By the way, my car kinda looks like your old Civic from afar, huh.
