Choosing wheels is not a matter of what looks pretty. You need wheels with proper BC and hub center that have minimum 42 mm offset if stock and 45 mm if dropped. Whether you choose 16 or 17 or 15" wheels with matching tires with 23.5" diameter then can depend on what you like to look at.
ehh specs schmecks! haha. they are both lightweight, and both arent available anymore. im not getting the racing harts anymore. i looked at them and didnt like how they would look. and white wheels are a pita to keep clean.

ive been searching for a set of 15in spoons and they literally dont exist anymore.
so i either wait on someone to sell their car and part out their wheels or try to find a different set i like.

i was talking with edmun from opak last night about the wheels and he said that it is going to be pretty impossible to find a set of sw38s. spoon doesnt have any 15in wheels nor does it have any plans to come out with new wheels. he said that opak buys up all the sw38s as they can find and those wheels in 15in are impossible at this point to find.

i say the cpf's. they look like those rare sprint hart wheels and no fit that i've seen has cpf's. everyone has slipsteams which make those spoon wheels not as cool. go with the racing hart.

ah and here is the irony of it all! the wheels that you don't want to mess up, because they are so rare...so clean...so nice...they make your ride 'hard'....are the ones that are intended for the track, yet most average joes don't have the dough to afford uber expensive rims they are going to be constantly abusing.

i'm sure its pretty safe to say that most folks with baller wheels will never see a track event, unless they drove their car their to see others have at it.


kelso, get what you WANT man. i'd rather rock a 'played-out' wheel than look at my car every now and then and try to justify my purchase because i wanted to be 'different' even though i'm not 100% happy with my 'different' and 'not played out' choice.

Your first need is to find what wheels work on your Fit.
You don't want to have rubbing in the fenders or rolling/grinding the fenders if you want to maintain your resale value. And that means carefully choosing a wheel with correct offset.

We have found that a wheel with 42 mm offset will work with tires of 205 section and diameter of 23.5" when the suspwension is not dropped; if you drop the offset must increase to 45 mm. You can override with small section tires or smakller diameter but that is another situation you want to consider carefully.
Good luck.

Personally I would rather have the spoons but because of rota I would prolly not get them unless I was to get them powder coated then I might but I also think the harts look better so I will say the harts
