Hello, this is my second post. I don't have a fit yet, but plan on getting a '08 Fit. I'm going for a blue one, and I think blue with bronze mix very well. So that's what I'm looking for, anyone have any recommendations? I'd like to keep them a light as possible.

 

15" bronze Konig heliums are good, light and cheap and they look good!

 

Will the 16x7 fit ok you think?

 

Yeah Definetly!

 

You know what I don't understand about most people buying wheels for the Fit? Why would they buy the same exact wheel size as is offered by the factory? I understand that they want to buy a light weight wheel and dropping weight is going to improve acceleration and braking, but why not go 1 up on the wheel. Shortening the sidewall on the wheel removes weight and it also removes sidewall flex. So in actuality an individual who puts a lightweight 16 inch wheel on their car probably loses about the same amount of weight per wheel when swapping wheels with the added improvement of a reduction in sidewall flex as well as better response from the steering wheel. Also for people running higher performance tires, those sidewalls are really hard because there is a lot of steel lined in them. Which in my opinion totally negates any additional weight reduction you could have gained from getting a lighter wheel. My $0.02, run the 16x7 it'll make your car look better and handle better.

 

^people have different preferences for wheel sizes for many reasons

 

Because im cheap and dont want to buy tires

 

You know, I can't find how much the 16x7 weigh. The 15" weigh 10.6lbs, anyone know on the 16"?
