Wire Wheels???

I was thinkin on going a little old school on my Fit and was looking for wire rims and white walls.
Has anyone seen a Fit with them, are they safe on a Fit?
Yes I am serious, I would even consider redoing the headliner and upholstery.
Like a deep purple velvet.

like daytonas or somethin? don't think i've ever seen a honda with them...sorta a completely different culture/scene lol. if I had PS at work I'd do somethin but yea...

if you do get these...I wouldn't go bigger then 14's...maybe 15 but iono. But it best be slammed.

They'll fit, but they'll look really out of place. I've always thought a white honda with white wheels would look good with white wall tires.

what color is your fit? I think gold wire wheels would look real good on a white fit. But other than that, I'm not too sure about wire wheels. Also, can you get white walls in a low(ish) profile?

mmmm. i wouldnt do that it would be kinda ugly! but to each its own i guess? fits not made for that type of sene they tryed doing something like that here in orlando a coggin honda but that was more fast and furious style and it was hidious!!! shag carpet and all they couldnt find a buyer for it untill the took everything off of it!

personaly i wouldnt do it maybe some oldschool rims but not wires btw you cant go smaller then a 14 on a fit it will not fit
