Older stock honda wheels on a GE8?

So here's the story, I have a set of honda civic hx wheels that Ive posted for trade on a local forum. I was originally going to throw them on my GE8 but after reading the forums I realized i'd need spacers, different tire size and tpms sensors.

So changed my mind after sanding and painting them up real nice. So far Ive have offers for some Integra LS mesh wheels, Integra GSR fat five wheels and some Civic Si ep3 wheels.

was just wondering what everyones opinion was on the look of older honda wheels on a newer honda fit.

which would look best?

which are most compadible whith tpms sensor etc...

None of those have tpms, but you can add it. Meshies or si wheels would look best. No fat fives. Ep3 look just like gd stock wheels. Your choice.

Bthashit, why you say "no Fat5s"? I'm curious to see what this looks like since it's such a plain wheel.

I've seen Mesh and Si wheels on GEs but can't say i'm a fan, they look small. I like the Si's over the Mesh though if I had to choose.

Imo fat are the ugliest honda wheel evermade. All honda kids really dont like fat fives. They can look good if done right. Raaaaaaay did it on his fit at one time. Look it up.

To make it work paint color is key.

Haha yeah I know, you can always pick em up cheap, nobody wants them. Was thinking about picking up a cheap set and doing em in bronze (black car). Just wanted to make sure there was no offset or TPMS issues with those wheels.

I'll look up Raaaaay's car, thanks for the info.

Edit: found the pics on his car, just looks OEM, nothing flashy which is good for me. Sucks they're so heavy but whatever, better than hubcaps lol thanks again.
