Crappy lighting for the pics, but these should look good on the BOM, just hoping for no rubbing! Weigh significantly less than the Five-X I have on there now, about 3lbs less each.

 

Those look like they will look a lot better than the all silver MBs. What offset did you go with this time?

 

these are 42mm. If these dont work out, Discount tire said they will just refund my money and I will have to look elsewhere, because they only have one 16" with a 45mm offset, and I am iffy on how it would look. I did get a nice break on these though for the hassle so thats kinda cool.

 

wow, i can't wait for them to be mounted.
when are you getting springs?
or are you still so-so about dropping your fit?

 

No springs, staying at stock height. I regularly have stuff in back, and 2 kids with me, so lowering is more hassle than its worth. I'll snap some pics once its all done. Supposed to rain but hopefully it holds off. OK off to bed so I can get up in time to get it to the tire shop lol!

 

alright, yeah i understand with the hassles and all.
atleast you're still modding!

 

not a huge fan of the polished lip, only because it makes the rim look a bit smaller.


but since you are rocking 16's itll trade out pretty decent to look like 15's.

cant wait to see them on.

 

that isn't that significant. Now if I changed from my 17's which are 21 lbs each to a 10lb each wheel that would be pretty significant.


They are going to look good btw. I was eyeballn those before i got the ones I have now.

 

i love these 5 zigens. they are pretty light, at least for a cast wheel that isn't super expensive. (the forged ones are BALLER, but you can't have everything right?)

yeah, the 16's only come in a 42 offset, but even if you were to lower properly, you shouldn't really rub.

can't wait to see em on!

 

Nice. I was considering the Silver ones for my SSM. You're not lowered are you? I'm staying tuned for pics.

 

i didnt rub one little bit wither the flat black 16" fno1rc's

if i can land my hands on some bronze or black fno1r's! i will jump on those in a heartbeat. ive only seen like 2-3 sets...everyone elses has the fno1rc

 

Its at the shop now, late morning should have some pics. Even the guy at the tire store commented how nice they were ha.

 

Nice wheels. DiscountTireDirect shows 45 mm offset wheels 4x100 up to 7x17" on their wheel cat. Didn't like those or did DTD say they wouldn't fit over calipers or hub?
If you don't drop you should be ok with 205 width or less tires And if you carry much in the back seat I recommend substituting Monroe AirLifts MA811 for rear shocks. See 'rear shocks need new design' in suspensions for a wealth of info and photos DYM, The sjhocks cost about $800 the pair and any flegdling mechanic can do it.

 

a bit off topic, but wanted to ask, how do you like your avid h4s's?

 

so....pics?

 

I started a new thread with the pics. The Avids are nice so far. I cant really compare them to much, I only had the stock wheels on for under 200 miles! But they seem to perform quite well in dry and wet weather.

This wheel on DTD is only available in 42mm. The only 16" on their site with a 45mm offset is the MB Interline, which I seriously contemplated. Its just hard to picture what they would look like on a car, and no search I did came up with anyone having them, so they must be real new. I'll know about rubbing with these after I get to drive a bit with them.

 

alright i'll go check out the new thread..
