Where can you get Magnesium Blue CE28N anyway? I tried to do a quick search and ended up with the normal colors

I think they are special order. Maybe about a 2-3 month wait time.

You should post up the price difference to help make a decision. I may very well be wrong, but think maybe the mag blue is a big $$$ upgrade?

Good point.

SSR Type-C/Gunmetal 16x6.5 = 4 x $330.00 = $1320.00

Volk CE28N/Mag. Blue 16x7 = 4 x $420 = $1680.00

*Both prices are not including tires, alignment/balancing, TPMS sensors (maybe swapped or replaced or neither), TPMS sensors being reset by the Honda dealer, and HKS Hypermax coilovers (about $1300)

Ahh. I see. It would be worth the wait IMO for mag. wheels. I rather buy the Volks mag. wheels over the SSR. You would stand out more than most cars.

I was thinking those Volks would be $500 or more each. If thats what they are, I'd just get the ones you liked most. Now waiting for pics!!

yeah me two cause even if I get them and dont like then on my fit they might look good on my da and if it dont go good with the mint color my da is then I know I could sell them for more than they are worth so hit me up if you dont like them. And its not like ssr wheels are not good or the design doesnt look good its just they for one are not as light as the volks, they are aslo not as hard to get either especially in that color. Plus in my opinion the volks just look better two doesnt really matter what color they are. but that just my .02 cents

glad i'm not the only one who likes the gunmetal SSR wheels.that's what i would choose
I'm thinking about it in 17x7.5 +42 offset. i think that would look nice too.
they might be lighter than the volk's? i dunno.

can someone point me to a wheel weight website? or does someone know how heavy the volks are since everyone seems to have them or like them so much.

i dont think the mag blue flows very well with the ssm
I put my mag blue te37's up next to my car just for fun (didnt actually put them on since they are 5x114.3 lug config) and it just didnt look right
if you had like a TW or a NHBP I would say definitely go for it
