Ask them if they will give you a credit for the stock rims and tires that come with the car. If you are ordering a sport, they can use those 15" alloys to upgrade someone with a non sport that comes with the 14" steel rims. If the sales guy does not want to help, talk to the parts manager and do the sale of the 16" HFP's through the parts department. They can do the swap when the car is delivered.

 

Factory or dealer installed?

 

Dealer installed. You'll have to also purchase tires.

My dealer gave me a sufficiently good deal on them that I went ahead & purchased them stright from the dealer. Between shipping and mounting/balancing, their price was close to the cost to buy the tires from Tirerack & the rims elsewhere.

The HFP wheels are dealer installed items. Although they are a Honda accessory, some dealers do not carry the HFP products.

 

I've been trying to do lots of search on some key words, but results didn't come out all what I was looking for~

If some of these info has been discussed, I hope this post can have every info about stock & HFP wheel spec~

I'm trying to find out every spec of the wheels, including PCD, width, weights, offset

here are some info I found, if you know the rest, please fill them out for me or correct them, Thanks in advance!!!

stock

15 x 6
4 x 100
+55 mm
15 lbs

HFP

16 x 6.5
4 x 100
+55 mm
18 lbs

I need the width & offset as a reference to choose the settings I want for aftermarket wheels~

Looks like all the answers r there!! Thanks guys!!

 

their the same offset as the sport wheels. at least, thats what I understood from Honda Alloy Wheel: 16" (Fit) - Bernardi Parts (read "offset matched")

 

it's a 6 inch wide wheel...
Offset is supposed to be comparable to stock...
Hmmm

 

so , HFP wheels r also 6 inches wide?

 

college hills lists it as 16x6.5 +55. just saw it while skimming their site.

 

Got mine today. Perhaps I am a perfectist, I found quite a few imperfections on these rims. The fact that these rims are painted just make things much worst. However, I am just glad that the imperfections only exists on the edge of the rims. For $512 USD excludes shipping for all four, I ain't gonna complaint too much....

Anyways, I weighted one of them on my digital scale. It weights 18.18 pounds. Including the hubcap, it probably weights 18.3 to 18.4 pounds. As for the spec....



As you can see here, the offset is 55. The rim size is 16x6.5.



Apparently, these rims are made in Thailand.



Just like the 15" stocker, Enkei made these rims for Honda.



Only BALL SEAT wheel lug nuts will work properly with these rims. No Mugen, Rays, and most, if not all of the aftermarket lug nuts for me then..

One other thing worth mentioning is the "HFP" markings on the rims.. These markings are just decals. I guess I'll take them all off once the rims are on my TW Fit Sport. Now, I just need a warm day to wash my car, order tires from Tirerack, and schedule a time for installation.....

 

At 3 lbs more for each wheel, how much are you going to lose in millage?

 

hey, does anybody know if the offset of the HFP wheel will rub or have any issues if i lower my fit with Tanabe GF210s??
Thanks for the help

 

I've ordered my Fit Sport with these wheels. Anyone know what kind of tires they put on them?

Thanks.


Edit: According to HandA-Accessories.com, they're about 17.75 pounds each. Not super-light forged wheels, but not bad.

 

HFP rims are 16x6.5" and are extra not part of the Fit or Fit Sport. Your dealer can sell you them extra in addition to your stock wheels or in replacement for them but most owners retain the original wheels and add the HFP rims as a second set.

If your dealer has given you credit or a discount on the HFP rims then your dealer will mount tires that will fit but you can ask which tires they will use. So ask your dealer since the wheels come from Honda but they have no tires and that is all done at the dealership.

Here is an example of mounted tires-
Bridgestone potenza RE-750 205/45-16

340 treadwear AA traction W speed rated 21 pounds fit rims 6.5-7.5" wide outer tire diameter 23.2" about $110 each from tirerack.com. Talk to Jim@tirerack.com for more info.

In this same size but in Ultra High Performance All season tires for more comfort and longer treadwear with more moderate price consider-
Kumho Ecsta ASX $74 each
420 treadwear AA traction W speed rated 19 pounds
Pirelli PZero Nero M&S $86 each
400 treadwear AA traction W speed rated 19 pounds
Both are good tires for the Fit.

 

Thanks a ton, and thanks for the pic. I haven't seen them actually ON a Fit before. And I got the rims discounted and had them remove the factory rims.

 

OK, Ask your dealer what tires and what size they are going to install on the HFP rims?

You can ask for 205/45-16.

Let us know what they are planning to use.

Summer tires will handled better but wear out faster.

All season tires will ride smoother and last longer but not handle quite as crisply.

Overall, All season tires make the most sense for a Fit.

 

The ship has already sailed as far as requesting a specific tire, as I haggled and got them to install and discount the stock 15" rims/tires from the sale price. I pick up the car today, so I'll post later on with the tire info (and hopefully some pics for the photo threads).

If it's something crappy, I'll just go get something better hooked up. I've been eyeing the Kumho's mentioned above.

 

The pic of the HFP's is mine. Not very happy with the bridgestone potenza's. Gonna swap em for these:



BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2 - tire rack gave them excellent reviews and i love the tread pattern.

 

THanks for the pic and the tire reference. I hope they look as good on the Storm Silver as they do on your Vivid Blue. They sure looked purdy on the Honda.com "Build your own".

 

you'll be amazed at the difference in handling with them on. I was sooo sad to have to put the stock ones back on during the winter. I drove mine off the lot with the HFP's and was not used to the handling of the stock 15's. Night and day difference.

Enjoy them!
