Adapters are too expensive, wheels arent wide enough, and ITR's have no resale value.
I got lucky that guy traded me for the Enkeis... Which I miss dearly.

The ITR's were deff one of my best sets of wheels though.

adapters are one of the reason why the wheels aren't on the car right now lol, i just got an offer on the itr wheels today so they may be sold t/m then i'll start looking around for some 7.5-8" wheels.

if anybody wants me to paint their valve cover cover just PM me, i want to try some new things and i won't be charging much (~50-60$ shipped back to you)

That's really cool. I painted the cover for my wife when she was driving the Fit.
