Question What do you think of these wheels?

What do you all think of these wheels on my 2009 Crystal Black Pearl FIT?

I like almost anything better than those.

I'm not going to do all the work for you but any of these would look better:

Volk TE37, RE30, CE28, WEDS TC105N, Enkei RPF1, NT03, RP03, PF01, Work CR Kai, XD9, XT7, Kosei K1, SSR Type C, Type F, OZ Ultraleggera, Superleggera, stock wheels

Totally looks like Corvette C4 sawblades to me!


That being said, I'm also not a fan... Are you going for a VIP look? What do you want out of new wheels? Looks, performance? I know some one had a clean set of Vienna's on here super cheap... Tons of deals usually in the classifieds...

^Oh yeah that too, I immediately thought of this:



There's an aftermarket company that makes something similar to the Vette wheels I think the VW guys like them... maybe that's what the OP is talking about?

Bingo... you guys are sharp!

I was just playing around with different looks and saw a Vet parked out side at work and took some shots of the wheels and... tada

I'm just looking for something different.. seems like most of the spoke wheels are very similar looking.

Running adapters to 5x100 (hub swap), not sure if you could fit on the Fit, that's a lot of offset.



Turns out everybody is running adapters or modded hubs and are using real live Vette wheels? i'm dumb


Edit: also really want a Wagon now /unrelated lol

What are you looking for in a rim? Size's, fitment, pricing....? Mike gave you kinda the top 16 or so quality "tuner" rims LOL All are great suggestions! Try Tire rack's vehicle customizer or whatever its called to see at least some of them on a car.

Holy crap... I think I'm in love...

I want an EF SO bad... I need another Honda project like a hole in the head T-T

There was some one on here doing a 5 lug conversion kit for Fit's... Not a prospect for the feint of heart or tight of budget though...

It's easier in Photo Shop... I like to cut and paste things to see how they look and get ideas... was just playing around.

I'm just sort of day dreaming.. it's actually my wife's base Fit that I got her for Christmas. I'm falling in love with it though.. love driving it.

I have a RAV4 Sport V6 with Sports suspension and it's power/torque is really fun, but the Fit is more fun to drive and I love the mpg! Am seriously considering letting the RAV4 go and getting another Fit, but a Sport, and then have some fun modding it like many of you here are doing.

Thanks for the suggestions.

If you photo is a photoshop job and you didn't actually buy those wheels, congratulations- you made a good decision. I was going to comment when your post first appeared last night, but "if you can't say something nice, then--------". I knew that you would catch a ton of shit from the forums "wheel experts". My first reaction was "wow, that poor guy. I've seen better looking plastic hubcaps at Kmart".

I think it would be hard to find wheels that would look worse.

I say do it! But like all on here I'm a bit biased

My GF replaced her Jeep with a 2012 Sport due to my bad influence It get's worse as I keep "helping" with things like rims and springs

For reference "Real" Sawblades are like 17 x 8.5" et56 or 17 x 9.5" et56 so the photo of the WagoVan is a better interpretation of what they might end up like on a Fit.... But that 56 offset is going to get eaten up by 20+mm of adapter so that would be a HUGE chore to make happen.... It would be unique on a Fit for sure!
