What wheels for a VBP fit

Well guys i need new wheels for my fit. Here are some ideas which do u guys think would look best?? I was thinking knock off white or silver nrs the koing ones, buddy club p-1 racing sf challenge in white with the blue lip. I'm also likeing these Borbet Type LS. I know its up to me but i just want some advice see what every one says. I am up to any other wheels u think would look good on my fit. Thanks for any help i just really am sick of these stock rims and the fit looks so much better with the right set of wheels.

sad to say it won't fit unless you do drastic mods to make it fit.

Did you try them out with their interactive online tool?
See Wheels on Your Vehicle - Discount Tire Co.

I like the interactive tool over here:
Wholesale Tires, Wheels, Rims, Auto Repair, San Gabriel Valley

I don't really know anything about wheels, but it's fun to try out different styles.

Nice rims the MF10ls i would not mind those or Nrs in white. But don't want to spend over a 1,000 on a pair of rims for my DD. Maybe the koing knock offs is what i will get. I need to keep looking. I find a wheel i want than i look on here and see alot of people with the same wheels so i am trying to get ones not many people have thanks for all the help fit freaks. And any other wheels u guys want to point me toward would be great

i went through a phase where i really wanted white nr's. (my fit is vbp as well.) and then i realized that i would be paying the same amount of money as i would for some nice 16inch ssr's, but instead would be getting a 15 inch rim that, while it looked nice, only was about a pound lighter than stock and still only 15's.

i just couldnt' justify it. mf10's are cool, but i dunno if the lug pattern matches.

the konig megarace is an nice wheel, (there is a member here who has them) and it gets you at least the look, and its probably lighter than the mugen wheel.

5zigen makes some nice wheels too, as do buddy club and they both offer series of wheel that will allow you to shell out under 1k INCLUDING tires.

I don't think there is anything wrong with spending more than that, not at all, but i don't blame you for not wanting to do it.
