...........................After.................. .............&.............................Before. ..........................



I know everyone is used to "before & after" but I placed them in opposite order. Sorry.

Had them repaired and powdercoated. They will be going on very very soon.

You are free to guess what brand, model, size, width, & offset the are.

I totally dig that. 195s means probably no rubbing too, so that was a smart move. Gotta say, I wasn't close, but if you look at the Enkie, it has almost the exact same flange and thin spoke at the edge of the rim.

And don't worry about hosting games. Better than this from yesterday: https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/off-...ml#post1096530

OMG I almost had a MINDFCUK just reading the objective of that game.

At the moment, since i'm on Buddy Club Coils and slammed almost all the way in the front, i rub on medium to large dips, and on most turns. But I know that by adding the camber bolts in the front and giving it negative camber when getting the car aligned, It should take care of that. but i am so happy with the 195/50/16 because it is close to stock spec and the fact that it still looks chunky and fills wheel well gap. And for rubbing purposes, i'm sure its a 100 times better than running a 205. I love it.

Thanks man.

I bought them used from SSMTEN.

I then took them to a wheels repair shop here in Miami. I had them repair the curb rash and powdercoat them bronze, since powdercoating was already included in my repair price. Didnt mind not having the WedsSport etch on the wheels. I knew that if I were to powdercoat them and then have the shop place Weds stickers on them, it just wouldnt look like original. Instead I opted to take advantage and make them the color I wanted. Worked out great.

These Weds are discontinued. They have been discontinued since 2006. So dont think you'll be finding any new. The original color of these Weds were gunmetal. I think the other colored that was offered was white, like a post mentioned above.

Thanks man. White would have been another choice for me but i saw how a best friends white wheels were getting dirty so fast, so i decided to cancel that color out afterwards.

Yea white does get dirty fast. But these wheels are so easy to clean. All the space between spokes makes it so easy. White on bronze is nice though. Good choice of color.

i've washed my Fit 4 times in the last 2 weeks, Oklahoma has a lot of dust and we've been getting some good rain. I only wash the car before we go out now, no sense in washing it to run errands.

Op. Good Color choice and wheel. You can buy some wheel wax Wheel Wax

This will help protect your wheels as well as making brakedust easy to get off. I myself personally use Colonite Wax to top my wheels off. Gets dusty as hell but easy as a breeze to clean.

Goodluck with the wheels let me know if you want to sell
