GSR Blades

Okay, I test fit one of the GSR Blades today. Keep in mind...I didn't clean them up. I'll save that for when I add some winter tires. I weighed both wheels + tires for fun. There are variables to consider:
1) The GSR Blades were the same tire size as the Fit Sport OEM tires, but the were Michelin XGT (195/55). They are worn down to the cords on the inside of the tire. I'm sure the tires might vary in weight between them with full tread.
2) I'm using a digital bathroom scale. It's of good quality...but it's just not the same since I had to balance the Fit Sport wheel a little to get it to stay upright without falling over. The GSR blade sat nicely however.
If you can't tell by the pics I weighed the Fit Sport wheel + tire at 35.2 lbs and the GSR Blade + tire at 31.6 lbs.
Anyways, here are the pics. I think they look good...almost like they were made for the car.

They actually they look sexy! Hows the offset compared to the OEMs?

I know theyre 45mm offset so it should sit somewhat flush to the fenders.

Thank you. I just got my Fit not too long ago, but these were the exact wheels I was thinking of putting on for street use. They look good! Saves me from photoshopping.

This picture here shows how the offset is much better suited to the car. Don't mind the 4x4 look...I had just lowered it off the jack.

I think the '99-'00 Si wheels would look great. I found a set locally, but the guy wanted way too much money for them.

wait wait wait... i don't know if this sounds stupid, but are those rims off of another stock ride, or are they aftermarket? For either answer, can you tell me what they are, they look awesome!

Glad I didnt go with them. I thought I was going to be the first, I actually would have been but I didnt buy a set my friend had for sale. I didnt have my Fit then. I knew they would look great. The style, the offset.. its perfect.

All I know is the rims Im getting NO ONE will have.

Here in Orlando Blades are more common than Si's. Well, Si's and Blades are the most common. Blades are popular on Ef and Eg Civics.

The rims Im buying are called EuroSports. The ones that youre talking about are probably Starks. Starks are made by Work wheels. They look almost identical but the spokes are a little different.
