Same, got to get my snow blowers ready to go. but I'll be putting the wintermaxx tires on the WRX though first. Got two of the same tires for the Fit, and while it helps for traction, nothing beats AWD or 4WD.

Threw the Yakima RocketBox12 back on for upcoming roadtrips to Monterey, So.Cal, Yosemite. Need the extra room to pick up the new shoes stuck in Pomona.


Also added LED Front (switchback) bulbs and rear LED turn signal bulbs. Planning to do the load resistor mod this weekend.

Those wheels look good. Are those the TR motorsports ones at 42 offset ? I am planning to buy a set with summer tires for next year from tire rack.

P.S. Where did you purchase it from?

Thanks Oiric2006! Yes they are 42+ offset and I bought them brand new this past July. These are gonna go on sale with the tires when I throw the TE37rt's on by end of the year.

Installed a Yakima roof rack with Jetstream bars. Also added more 3M clear to protect the contact points.

Not really what I've done, but more of a project. Decided to give my son the snow tires and rusty steel wheels from my Fit. Took the original OEM wheels and painted gloss black with automotive 2K paint and added an orange pinstripe. Snow tires came UPS yesterday and will be put on the rims tonight when my friend comes home (has a tire machine and balancer in his garage). Just waiting on some chrome lug nuts that should arrive in tomorrows mail.




Current rusty wheels

Looks good. I have plain steel wheels for my snow tires, but nicer wheels for regular tires.

Thanks. I was bored so I ordered a set of "Mugen" center caps from China. Hopefully I'll get the in a couple weeks? Wife thinks I'm crazy and said "you really are trying to get someone to steal your still wheels"
