Fellow cheapskates: show me your 14's!!!
 

Are you cheap like me? Too cheap to pay for new tires so you only replaced your 14's with new 14's and re-used your original tires? Let's see those little 14" wheels!!! Post your pics!!!

14's??? the fit comes with 15's doesnt it?

Not if you have a base Fit!!! :(

No one with a base Fit and aftermarket 14's, eh? Post your base Fit with 15's then!!! I need to get some idea how this will look!!! Thanks

Yeah...the very base, base Fit comes with P175/65/14's with hubcaps.
So....anyone...besides winter steelies?

I went from 15's to 14's. Just wanted a change. TSW Quads.
Im selling them for $300 right now. I dont think 14's are going cheap, Id still like to run some 13's but the tire sizes are tricky.

These 14's are on 205/60's. Too much side wall, the Fits handling characteristics went down hill.

My original 14" wheels, painted body colour and adorned with trim rings and 18-wheeler axle caps. (I have 15" wheels now for the summer and will use these with snow tires in the winter.)

reminds me of the old vdub hubcaps :)
retro cool my man!

When a car is lowered on the 14's it looks quite squat and low to the ground like a go-kart. Not bad at all!!!

I'll try to put a pic up soon...got to represent the 14" wheel club! lol

That's it? Only two people have upgraded their stock 14's for more 14's???

Not really a matter of being cheap, for me. The Fit doesn't have a lot of power so big wheels just slow it down. 14"'s with decent tires weigh less than 15"'s or 16"'s.

Good point Dave! Looks really good too!

Too cheap for bigger wheels may equal too cheap for a digital camera?:D

Now that is CHEAP!!!

I have a base fit with 14's and stepped up to 15's with Yokohama AVS ES 100's. The Yoko's are really sticky but had a much harsher ride quality compared with my stock tires. I ended up selling them and buying a set of 1998 Integra gs 14's with 195 60 14 tires and find this setup to be the ultimate compromise. They still have a tall sidewall so they offer descent ride quality but are quite a bit wider than the stock 175 65 14's so the car sticks better. A perfect setup in my opinion.

Okay, since the Fit doesn't have a lot of power but handles well, shouldn't you exploit the talents the car does have? 15" wheels will generally out-handle 14" wheels, all other things equal. Besides, I bet those 14" wheels on your car weigh a lot more than my 15" wheels.

And if you're trying to salvage some of the handling, you'll find very few "decent" street tires in a 14" size.
