Damn it looks cold there. Love the wheels!!

 

those look sick, the contrast with the TW is nice..

 

gREAT choice of rims!

I love ADVAN RS!

however, 17inch rims for FIT you will lose some fun for the handling and performance. Its just too big.


15 is the ideal size for FIT. Buy a Hyper Rev of HONDA FIT you will find out most of tuners prefer 15inch.

 

none of that matters to me. i got what i wanted. i sure as hell am not gonna do what every other "tuner" is doing

 

I likie! Lots of face on those wheels. I like the way the spokes stick past the lip of the wheels.
I love wheels like that.

 

That looks absolutely amazing! It's nice to see someone from just across the border whom also knows what -40 temperatures feel like. Did you by chance get purchase those through Tint Masters?

 

as a matter of fact, i work there! been in the Grand Forks store for 5 years now.

 

Oh that's actually pretty wicked. But unfortunately I have never actually been able to find the Grand Forks location, but was at the grand opening for the Fargo location a couple of years back. Is the Grand Forks location on the west side of the Red River or the east side? Reason I ask is, the next time I'm down in the US from Winnipeg, I actually wouldn't mind seeing what you guys had to offer.... especially since the Canadian dollars been pretty good as of recent.

 

We are on the west side of the river. Good old ND!

 

For years a smaller wheel was thought to offer a performance advantage. If you follow SCCA Autocross on a national level, you'd know that the fastest guys in Miatas in CSP have switched from running 14 or 15 inch wheels to running 17's in 2007.

 

Damn those look nice. I normally hate 17's on small cars (civic, crx, etc) but the Fit takes em well!

 

well personally civics and integra and crx need to be on 15" rims. it is a perfect size for them.


the fit personally i think 16" is perfect.

welcome to the Advan club heh. at first i didnt like them because they had too many spokes. but i think it looks good on your car. Gold and white is my ideal car.

congrats on the purchase

 

you know...i actually gained a lot of traction when i switched over to my 17x7x5 advans.launching my car to me feels more solid. corners feel stiffer and smooth.

running the same kinda tires when i had my 15" rims and my 16" rims. and now i have the same tires on my 17's and i really think it handles better.


performance i can see....but not handling.

 

I can't tell if I like those wheels or not, the rest of the cars appearance is so stock, the wheels look like they don't belong there. They pop TOO much. Blacked out headlights, or Foglights would take some of the white out of the front.

 

Looks good, what spring or coilovers are you using?

 

I am using tanabe gf210 springs

 

bump for grand forks. I used to live in Winnipeg. But that cold is just rediculous. Nice car man.

 

o wow nice

 

Hey Slo, has the snow melted yet in the Dakotas? How about posting some more pics of your ride?

 

those rims on ur TW are looking awesome!
