If you're running aftermarket wheels, change your lug nuts so that they are tapered.

On the cheaper end - Koing, Rota, Axis, Kosei, Motegi.
Middle end (that also have a high end too) - SSR, Enkei, Weds
Higher end - Advan, BBS, J-Line, CCW
I mean there are THOUSANDS of companies. These are some you can start with. Just go on websites and browse their sections: vivid racing, tire rack, etc. have massive catalogs of brands. GL!

First question: do you plan on reusing the tires that are on your current wheels? If yes, that limits your choices to stock diameter and probably stock width. If no, your possibilities open up quite a bit.
Next question is budget. Since the Fit uses the same lug pattern as billions of other Hondas/Mazdas/Nissans and who knows what else, there are a zillion choices out there. Some cheap, some not so much.
Hit Tire Rack and search for what is available for the Fit in the size you're looking for. They have a neat tool that will show roughly what each wheel will look like on your car.
Pay attention to wheel weight. If you're thinking big chrome bling bling wheels, remember that heavy wheels will cost you acceleration, ride quality, and braking. We don't have an overabundance of power in these cars so lighter wheels would be the smarter way to go.
Other than that, it's up to your personal preference.
