Rims for my Fit
I'm looking to get 17 or 18 for my '11 base tafetta white fit. What would be the best size and rim offset.

Will this look got on my car? I can get these rims really cheap since I know someone at TSW.

Either one is your choice. I say 17". 18" is too big. Almost donk status. Lower it on 17s is nice. 16s are best and dump it.

What's the offset? Do you plan on lowering it?

If you plan to lower it try to go 17x7. But stay around +40 for offset unless you are one of those hellaflush guys.

I'm also considering that. That will be perfect for my E46 M3.

Rotary forged, nice and strong, and not too heavy either.

IIRC there's one other TSW that is rotary forged, I wouldn't mess with the rest of them
