Which Wheels?

I was messing around on Photoshop for the last hour of work to get a sense of some wheels I've been considering on the Fit. This was my first time photoshopping wheels onto a car, so spare me critiques.

LMK which wheels you like.

Pretty good PC for first time! I wouldn't even know how to do it. =P

I vote for the BBS RC...I've always loved those wheels.

BTW, looks like the wheels are 17-18" in size they way they were PC. I would shoot for 17 in reality!

Great job!

Cheers!

Yeah...I posted them in order I p-shopped them and think I started to at least get more realistic with size since I was aiming for 17s.

I think I'm leaning towards the BBS or a set of Mini wheels. I like the OEM look of them and the price tag in comparison to Volks.

Enhhhh I think the Bronze Volk SE37ks look the best. I really don't like sliver or polished wheels on any cars unless it is a classic with alot of crome. The Bronze Volk SE37ks have a nice contrast to the white of the car. I take it you don't want black? Thats generally the go to for a white car but I undertsand wanting something different.

Not only do I want something different, I want something understated. I had a TW Fit in 2007 on white Buddy Clubs and just don't want that young person look anymore. On a higher end car, sure, I'll rock black wheels. On a car like the Fit, I like the idea of something that looks somewhat factory.

Updated with a couple sets of wheels which look good too.

16's look perfect to me on the GD and feel that 17's are the right size for the GE.

No white on white...been there and done that. As much as I like the look, it's no longer for me.

My hands down to the MINIs. Is your car boosted? Being featured on Honda Tuning? In a great show? Or daily driven? If the last is the truth--go for the minis. They look great, are light, and dont carry a $2000+ price tag. Volk i belive is over rated. Are they nice? Yes. Are they rare? Not so much. I see them on garbage civics and Tegs everywhere around my way. Its almost like if they have Volk thier car is instant HOT? NO! So I vote Minis.


Let the bashing begin on me for telling the truth and turning right at the FAD.

I feel the same way. That's why I was mostly considering the JCW Mini's, R90s, BBS or the Breytons. They're pretty much all $1000 or under and look OEMish in a bigger size.

I agree with Bthasht. Of your choices, the mini's do the best job of improving look of the car over stock sport rims while conceivably being "OEM".
