it is the offset that is causing the issues more than anything else..seems no one is mentioning the offset of the wheels they put on. 205/45/16 will always work well with a +52 offset (factory spec)..not so much with a +40 - +42, and most likely not with a +45, but maybe..now try finding a +52 4x100 in the aftermarket...maybe drill a few vette rims........

 

Just arrived today, fresh from handa-accessories.com. Installed with pics tomorrow.....

When I get the Ground Controls Im gonna put that +55 offset to the test with the drop.

 

really interested in seeing. Cant find pics of sport fits with HFP anymore

 

what color finish is that? It always looks different, gunmetal or bronze at times.

 

so i saw these in person today and wasnt impressed the hfp logo is just a cheap sticker and the wheels seem excessivly heavy for the price but if you like them rock on

 

yea man..its called bronze gunmetal or something. does have both hues in it

 

Yea I did debate the weight issue for a while but what I really bought them for was the look and the offset. I plan on a pretty aggresive drop and wanted to provide the most room against rubbing. When I get around to tracking or auto-X ill probly spring for some light weight 15s and go from there.

 

i really dont think youll rub with that offset. can drop 2.0'' and still

 

The logos on Volk Racing wheels are just cheap stickers too.

 

Makes it easier to remove the sticker,,,
I would really like to know the weight of these wheels and your gut feelings on how they look/perform,,,,,

 

there cheap stickers that are easily removed and then on volk lips the metal is stamped with volk racing wich can only be done with a press etc. so while that is ture at least you know that your paying for a rays/volk quality with honda it could be/and is just some random company that makes heavy ass over priced rims like i said if thats what you like i think they dont look bad i just think your paying to much for them as an accessory and i dont like to see my fellow fit guys paying 1000 dollars for just okay wheels

 

Kewl to look out for your brutha's,,,
but for clairity , HFP wheels are made by Enkei, they are stamped on the back, and can be had for around 154.00 a piece....not to include shipping costs,,,

 

Just went to the web site you got your stuff from,,,,wheels weigh in at about 17 lbs a piece,,,not to bad for 16's, but there are lighter ones,,,,,,How was the shipping from them , no damage , well packed?

 

I paid what the site says, like 154 a wheel and about 70 bucks for shipping. You can get cheaper and lighter wheels but finding that size and that offset isnt easy in the aftermarket. When I asked the dealership about the wheels when I got the Fit they quoted me around 1800$ installed with tires. I LOLed at that shit because I knew I could buy them online for way less. Just got my tires on so all told im at around 940.$ for everything. Not bad for 16s and no worries of rubbing with a crazy lo drop.The wheels where packed VERY well in SEVERAL layers of cardboard.The worst part was trying to fit all the cardboard in my trashcan. They look of good quality and they do have the Enkei stamp on the back as well as the rim size, 16x6.5 I like the look of them but until I get my car dropped I cant stand the high stance of a stock suspension. So until I get the Ground Controls Im not gonna be satisfied with the look of the car, but its so hard to wait and wait for them to finish making the coilovers..... Ill try to get some pics tonight.

Yep .. I have been looking for pic's too.. but with no luck

 

Yes ,,,waiting for pics,,,thanks for the info,,,
BTW,,what is the off-set on those????

 

Ok here we go,I did a little photoshopin just for fun. First pic is this morning bone stock. Second pic is how it currently looks. And the last is where Im headed with the drop and tint in the next few weeks. Debating on Spoon style wing for the rear, I love the look of them but I also like the cleanness of the basemodel shape with no extra aero bits. But im 350$ away from that decision so it will be awhile before I decide on that. I was in a hurry to get the pics this afternoon and forgot to slap on the centercaps lol. The offset is +55 Enjoy

I like the looks of the HFP's!!!! Thanks for the pictures dude

 

yeah they look good! do the larger wheels affect your gas milage or acceleration?
