did it, done. They're legit stamped Enkei Racing on the inside. Dude painted them like 4 times lol no major curbage. I'm going to get them gloss black with green lip (trim, just like my Konigs were red). I'm getting rid of the front/rear H's so it won't look weird :P I'm happier, but his Dunlop Qualifiers are SHIT and make my car vibrate a bit. What's the best damn 15" tire to get? 195/50 I'm thinking? Falkens?

195/50's are good. Brands are up to you. Everyone will think differently on whats best.
I prefer cheaper tires. They all wear so just go cheap. Normally the expensive tires wear faster.

The tires that are on it probably have flat spots and are out of balance.

When you going to fix your springs?

decided I want to have the whole wheel done gloss black. Would these lugnuts fit? 12 x 1.5



I want the more subtle green look. Like MNFit has sublte red with his lugs (well pinkish now lol)

Thats an edited pic. Im sure they arent that exact color.
Yes, 12x1.5 is what fits.

Paint your calipers black, and just get 195/50 Kumhos.

Yeah I'll have them paint the calipers when they powdercoat my wheels, whenever that'll be lol. I get my re-enlistment bonus in late Feb so hopefully around then. I'll get new tires after deployment since these will need replacing after sitting in the same spot for so long.

Also do you think it'll look better without the center caps? I wonder how much the caps weigh lol maybe I can save a pound if I remove all 4 ;D

and also when I get back I wanna paint the car this color:

I'll be the first to rock a green Fit :P with black wheels and green lugs. SEX.

And Ray, Kumho Ecsta's are $50 a piece. Can a $200 set really be decent? I dunno anything about tires. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....1=yes&place=10

If you want to spend $400+ on tires go for it. My 14in tires were $400. To me, they do the same thing my $200 Kumhos did. Ride on the road and are black.
Only reason I bought the Toyos was the tire size.

Tires are tires. IMO, $250 and under. You planning on doing crazy driving in the rain or autoX runs?
Id rock the Enkeis with no center caps. Paint the axle nuts and dust caps black though, with the calipers.

Hahaha I live in 2105 :P

And Mike I was thinking green wheels, but I think I'd rather have the whole car green lol I dunno yet. I might repaint the car gloss black to match the wheels at all times.
