But being that the Fit is so underpowered, im looking to go with something a bit ligher then even the lightest TD Pro Race wheels which are around 14 lbs. I love the look of the Pro Race wheels though since I love Touring racing of all kind.

In 15" its not hard to find a wheel that works with the Fit, its got a pretty broad range of offsets that will work with it and widths also, anywhere from 6" to 7" so I dont think you'll have a hard time finding a current TD wheel that will work. Anything from a +35 to +42 offset in a 15x6, 15x6.5 or 15x7 is pretty much guaranteed to work with a 195 tire. Anything lower or high then that range of offsets is a cause for concern whether its rubbing the fender or rubbing the fender well.

Lets us know how it goes though and if you could take some pics too that would be great.

just got my fit and i want to get some nice rims and tires for it. i was looking at the REACTION RIOT in the 15"x 6.5" in a 4-100 bolt pattern and it seems like that will work fairly well. i was wondering if i went into a 17"x 7" if that would fit comfortably and if i would have to get skinnier rubber for that. and i'm also assuming that if i were to get the 15"x 6.5" rims i would need to get new rubber for that anyways.

thanks to all who reply to this.

For the 17" you would either run a 205/40R17 or 215/40R17. The 15" would be 195/55R15 or 205/50R15. Both sizes would be fine on the car as long as the wheels have the correct offset.
If I can help let me know.

thanks for the help but still a few more questions. I dont really know what offsets mean with tires and all that stuff. so any help in that category would be greatly appreciated. and also where is tire rack and this whole set up located?

Yes, but you might have to roll the fender lip depending on the specific tire you choose.

We do offer the wheels and tires in a package. We mount and balance them at no charge and they would come with all of the needed hardware at no cost. Take a look at the wheels on our web site and give me a call. We can get you into a tire that best fits your needs.

White wheels

Alright, i'm looking on your site, and, i am not finding any white wheels. Do you carry them? Wife's changed her mind from a black rim to a white rim. If you don't carry em, might you be able to recomend someone to me that does? Thanks in advance.

I don't know of any other options. You may get some recommendations for some wheels from the other members.
