It will be interesting to see if these ever take off. They certainly would be much lighter than traditional wheels which should dramatically improve acceleration and handling. It is also interesting that they say they can design vertical stiffness, (tire spring rate) independently from lateral stiffness (grip). In traditional tire/wheel combinations, these two parameters are directly related.

 

that some crazy wheels.. you would need to think of diffrent ways to get back at people who park really close to you, you wouldn't be able to pull their valve stems anymore

 

lol, they still have side mirrors (JK!)

It is a very interesting concept, but I havn't heard anything about the development of these tires since early 2005. I would suspect they are having problems keeping the tires from flexing in hard corners where traditionally a stiff sidewall would have reinforced the stability.

 

I wonder if they fixed the road noise problem yet.

 

Carry metal shears to cut a spoke or two.

 

Where do I get these amazing wheels. I NEED them. And what sizes

would fit on the Fit?

 

You mean SW388? They are very expensive and tough to find. I just checked eBay and somebody is selling them on there right now:

eBay Motors: Spoon Sports SW388's 15x6.5 4x100 civic/integra REAL! (item 120128991300 end time Jun-12-07 16:28:52 PDT)

Spoonsports.us lists the 15x6.5 +45 at $375 each. For the money I would get cold forged wheels instead (SW388 are made by 'shot alumnite' process).

 

anyone seen these? i think they would look ill on a fit the 16x8.9 red on my blue fit? lovely lip too



Sport Max 002 Old School JDM

 

they are sportmax's but i love the red lip. i have a taffetta white sport at. what you guys think? thinkin about gettin them in 17x7's.

 

red on a blue fit? i dunno. it would definately be different.

 

do it.it'll pop like crazy

 

those are pimp wheels.i think il will look good

 

rims are nice.. likin the lip too

 

thats the kinda rims i was gonna originally put on the fit..i love black rims with hints of red...its my favortie kinda rims

 

dnt think they made them in 17s???

 

yea they do make them in 17's pretty much the smallest size they have them in.

 

Which size is more suitable? 16" or 17"? Also, if I were to get the 17", which size is the tires? For those of you who have mods, what are you all using? Which brand is good?

Thanks a whole lot!

 

I think that 16's would look the best becasue I think 17's would weigh considerably more than the 16's. I think the specs are 16's are 205 and 17's should be about 215. I am not sure though I am still running with the stock 15's.
I am lookin at some 15 inch buddy club wheels that look good. So I believe the lighter the better.

 

Sorry for the Newbie ? but Im purchasing a fit next week and was wondering if this rim size and tire will fit keep in mind that i will be lowering it and I need also to know what springs to use with this set up so I will not get any rub tire size will be 205/40/16 with a 40 offset these rims came off my old car and I was hopeing they would fit the fit.thanks for your help

 

u shouldnt have any problems... i just have + 42 off set look at sig...
