I'm having quite a dilemma deciding on what wheels to get for my SSM 08' Fit. However, I am certain as I want this setup: 16x7 +45.

I had initially planned to get Gram Lights 57M in a TA finish, but was quite dissatisfied with the quality and finish after attending the SPOCOM show on Sunday. *Also, I think I've given up on this style. I saw someone in this forum got the 57M wheels and didn't look quite so nice as these pictures by A-spec. Photoshop marketing??



I also visited the SSR booth and was quite pleased with the weight and quality of the SSR Type-C. However, I haven't found a good picture of them in gunmetal and mounted on an SSM Fit. Correction! By another FF member:



I think I've strayed away from the TA finish as its too trendy and those red lines may become annoying after a few months. So here are my choices:

SSR Type-C in Gunmetal



Volk CE28N in Gunmetal Polish or Magnesium Blue

Titanium Gunmetal?


*Not sure if these are Titanium Gunmetal or Gunmetal Polish. I'm really looking for a dark grey polished finish.

Magnesium Blue



================================================== =====================

My goal is to make my car a hybrid between these two styles:





Yep, I'm J's Racing crazy!

Planned mods are:

HKS Hypermax coilovers (really impressed by the setup by starier9801)
CBF Canards?
OEM Seibon CBF Hood
J's Racing lip in black
J's Racing GT-Wing in CBF or FRP painted black
J's Racing Front Grill painted in SM
Mugen Window Visors

Thanks for your input!

 

Volks on the bottom right (magnesium blue?). Silver on Silver FTW.

 

the Volk CE28N in dark grey polish would look good and match your ssm. i agree with you about the TA style/red lines, too played out and too common.

 

I would prolly chose the mag blue volk two noby I have see has them on anything plus the are the rarest of the group. P.S there is a white type-R up the street from me with the ta finish grams the look iight as I drive by but havent seen them up close. But I have the same color fit as you so im really giving my honest opinion

 

Here's a mag blue wheel on a silver car. IMO the gunmetal Volk would look better.

 

I think TA finishes go well with white or black, but not necessarily SM. However, I've seen this combination on a dark silver/charcoal 350Z, but that silver is much darker than SM.

I think magnesium blue might work? I've only seen this combination at car shows. This blue is also very dark... almost black at times. The blue finish is also about $40 cheaper per wheel than the titanium gunmetal finish.

 

57M ... Do it!

 

exactly my point the blue is so dark its almost black I cant speak for everybody but I think it would look good on the fit slammed plus if im not mistaken I think those wheels are the lightes out of the compairison
P.S thanks for the pick cause I never saw that color wheel on anything yet

 

Umm... sorry Tiffany but I'm afraid my car might look like this...





That's why I changed my mind about the 57Ms.

 

you got a point about that im telling you blue mag's matter of fact how much for a 16x7+45 set and where did you find them

 

Plus it might not looked so bad if the weels were not like the sam color the car is almost, and he need it slammed then it might not be so bad

 

magnesium blue ftW

that color is pure sex

 

What he said

 

magblue. do it. do it. i dare you.

 

mag blue ftw
slammed!

 

the blues would look ok (they would look baller on vbp though. )

i like the polished volks.

 

Everyone forgot about the SSRs....

I guess MAGNESIUM blue is the one to get based upon these posts. If it doesn't work out, anyone willing to take them off my hands?

I'll put in the order later this week. Thx FYO!

BTW - Anyone have any good pics of a SSM Fit with CE28s (not including the J's Racing Ver.)

 

Ehh, you're right. That doesnt look too pretty...

I take it back; MagBlue - DO IT!

... Btw, how dow you know tiffany? Have u two met!?

 

add another for mag blue haha.

 

if it dont work out man, if i get these wheels off my hand i think i could pull the mag blue off.
