16" Fit Wheel Info...

...as in, how much do they weigh?

The Rial Flair 16 x 6.5 weighs about 17 lbs. according to Tire Rack.

The HFP 16 x 6.5 weights about 17.75 lbs. according to H and A Accessories.

all wheels are manufactured to different specs. Some are heavier some are lighter. You get what you pay for.

But seriously unless u're trying to win your local traffic light drag race, it ain't gonna make much of a difference. 2 to 3 lbs can be shed by eating less and crapping more. LIkewise you'll lose more by taking out the spare tyre.

There is a huge difference between sprung and unsprung weight. Shedding a couple of pounds off of wheels & tires is a big deal. The driver shedding a couple of pounds, not so much.

The stock Fit Sport 15x6 rim is about 15 to 17.5 pounds based on owner's reporting the weights.

The HFP 16x6.5" rim weighs about 18 to 20 pounds based on owners and dealership estimates.

For more info on 15" wheels for the FIT from tirerack.com see

15" rims from 14 pounds are still affordable.

You can talk to or email Jim@tirerack for more info on the 16" rims.
The bigger the rim the more it can weigh unless you go for a lighter rim brand but the cost will be more.

14" rims are even lighter and worth a look in my opinion. They can work very well but they are not as nice looking compared to large rims.

The lighter the rims the better the car can accelerate and the faster you can stop. This applies for any rim size. Light is good. But lightweight is expensive when carried to the extreme as some rims are as low as 9 or 10 pounds.

For the smallest affordable and light rim-
14x6" Kosei K1 TS +38mm offset 9.3 pounds each grey or silver painted
Gravity cast Shot peened $119 each
Fits tires 175/65-14 or
185/60-14 (good size)- Yokohama AVS ES100 $72 each (summer tire) or Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position $65 each (all season)


Silver finish

(Pardon the xA)

Found this weight table on another forum, no warranty as to accuracy but the few models I glanced at it looked about right

The weights on wheels will vary depending on the offset of the wheels. The weights are going to be close but of the wheels we carry I have seen 1 lb. difference in the same size with different offsets.
If anyone has any questions on anything we carry just give me a call or email.

I searched on tirerack.com and didn't find a weight for the
Rial Flair in 16x6" which is the size for the FIT.

Silver painted one piece low pressure cast $118 each
205/45-16 tire recommended
Available 10/30/06!
No offset listed.

I think the Flair in 16x6.5 would not be for the FIT, maybe a 5 bolt pattern or the wrong offset.
