16 or 17?

Hi All,

Just purchased 2013 Honda Fit and had good luck just sold my stock sports wheels. Now I am looking at aftermarket. I am looking at the mb racing weapon wheels. I noticed that 16 and 17 is almost the same price!!

What do you guys think? Rule Number one. Sorry if I borrow someone else picture. Obviously it is on a GE8Name:  jdmfit.jpg

15-16" for GD look best in my opinion

17" look perfect on the GE body.

yah, on the GE's 16's look okay but the tiresidewall is at its limit of looking rediculous (balloon) if you run 205/50/16's.

17's look 10x better imho too. run 205/45/17's.

yah, if your car's low like that and running 205/45/16's then it can look very good.

the 205/50/16's i use just seems very tall especially when relative to its small 16" size.

OP. If those are the wheels you want, 17s would be perfect. Other than that. I think 16"-17" wheels is perfect for GE. Just depends on wheels.

My Vote is for 16" wheels. The 205's on 16's look just fine and the 16's will have a better weight savings. The GE isn't loaded with power so every little bit helps, especially on un-sprung weight.
