I'm in the same boat with Koenig Heliums. I think the blue would look cool but I don't wanna look, what the kids call, "rice-y". Maybe the black would just be invisible though...

I think black lugs would be like a cleaner look, i was going to go with blue for like a JDM look but im not sure it would look to good with a black car and bronze wheels

I think Gunmetal would look awesome. Gold rims always remind me of Subarus because of their WRC cars. I would pair the Gunmetal wheels with black lugs. Black would blend in too much I think. The Gunmetal colour will complement your NHBP nicely without drawing your eyes directly to the rims...it will round out the look of the car IMO...

i've ordered my slips in bronze, and it's going onto a MR fit. I've always had a thing about red/bronze.

on a black one i don't think they look good at all.

i'd stick with gunmetal.

Not wild about the wheels, but OMG! that Lunar Myst is AMAZING ! ! !
Please post photos!!!

I've been dead set on vivid blue, but seeing that Lunar Myst makes me question my choice.

Any Help Fitting My Shoes?

Hey guys,
I am still waiting for my Fit (Storm Silver MT! Should arrive in a month!) but I am looking for wheels. I found some nice ones but the guys who's selling them doesnt know much about them and neither do I. He said they have a 4 X 114.3 bolt pattern and the Width is 6 inches. They weigh about 15 lbs.
I was wondering if they would fit, and if in fact the standard tires would fit on them. Any help would be great! Thanks alot!

Anybody want to help a wheel novice?

This may be a ridiculous question, but I have never purchased aftermarket wheels before and wanted to get everything straight. My buddy has some wheels that he is selling and I think they'd look great on my Fit but the bolt pattern is 4x114.3! Is there any way to convert them, or modify anything to make them fit my Fit?

Anything is possible with enough $$$. Just find youself wheels with the proper fitment and save a bunch of headaches.

What do you mean? The wheels with a 4X114.3 bolt pattern will fit on the car that comes standard with wheels that have a 4X100 bolt pattern? I don't understand how that works?

Maybe I'm not understanding...please help explain.
Thanks!

gimme sent me this... (sorry i screwed up the quoting deal)


"Re: Wheel Novice Questions
okay, depending on the wheel. they can be dual drilled. if someone wants a 4x100 and all the wheel manufacturers has are 4x114.3, they just dual drill them. usually costs around $10 per wheel to do. I want to see the wheel itself to see if it is even worth doing"



So then I sent him this pic

[img=http://img166.imageshack.us/img166/9148/wheelyb1.th.jpg]

and he sent me this back.


"Re: Wheel Novice Questions
unfortunately you cannot dual drill those ones. there is also a procedure they call "fill and drill" they weld in the holes and re-drill them to whatever you want. that runs about $40 a wheel. might just be better to find other wheels.
Sorry.

so I'm back to the drawing board...but thats good information to know!"

Thanks to everyone for your help and especially gimme!
