Noob: Rims and Snow Tires

Hi everyone. I cannot say how happy I am to have found this place!

I'm a new (proud) owner of a 2013 Fit. Love the vehicle. Anyway, I now have to buy new rims and snow tires, but I don't know the first thing about what to get. I don't want/need anything fancy. Just would like to know what to select in a list like this (Costco link): Steel Wheels, Home Delivery Only

Any help is appreciated.

Check Kijji. Will save hundreds. I went with new Honda rims at $80 then added tires. Way too much as I now see many used sets on Kijji with decent winter tires used maybe for a year.

Thanks for the tip, although I live in a small town and kiji and the like aren't well populated. Nice car, btw, I have a white fit also.

When I look at that Costco link above, I have no idea what to choose.

Go to a junkyard or look on Craigslist for 14" Civic steel wheels. Can usually buy them for a song especially if there's no tires on them, which is what you want.

If you still want to buy new from Costco here is the part number you want:

X40861

That is for 15".

They have 16x7" steel wheels FS!?!?!?! I'M EXCITED. I don't see it on the US site

I put 15" on mine for winter. WIth higher sidewall makes for a softer ride. Will 14" clear the rotors?
