Last night I put on my rota jspcl gunmetal with polished lips in a 15 inch rim with dunlop sp tires 195 55 15. The front rims will not clear our brake calipers without a spacer, had to go to pep boys and get 1/4" spacers so that it wouldn't rub on the inside of the rim. Other than that they look great and will take some pics when I get a chance.


Some rims and tire comparison to stock.
Weight of stock honda fit sport package tire and rim= 35lbs. Each

Weight of just the rota jspecial= 12lbs each

Weight of new dunlop and new rota wheel= 30 lbs each. So you do save a little weight over stock tires and wheels.

Had 5 people in the car this morning and on big bumps/dips it did rub on the front fenders, but it's nothing bad.

Will update with pics once I get my camera back.

we got the same wheels kid,(ROTA JSPL 15 X 6.5 +38 offsett,12 lbs weight)my question is will there be rubbing issues if i use 185/55/15 instead of 195/55/15 ?if it wont fit then i might used spacer like 3 mm or 5 mm.

yeah your going to have to use the spacer, i believe it's the offset of the wheel that wont let it clear the caliber, the tire has nothing to do with it.

yes, these would be those copies, couldn't find a real set in a 15inch, for under 1300.00. seems nobody has used one's to sell, but i don't mind, it's a daily car, and wheels are lighter than stock.

actually i found a set in anaheim for that price but I'm debating if I like the looks. it's a 2 piece wheel but it's a love it or leave it style. Kinda like Sprint Harts. also it's a lotta cash too.

here's the one i found.
