Which Rims Would Look Better?

I'm planning on getting some rims soon but don't know which ones I want.
Drag DR-23
2 New 16x7 4x100 Drag Dr 23 Black Wheels Rims | eBay
Focal X
Focal X Black Painted

I need some opinions.

go for less weight, then style. your car will be a bit more responsive and a touch better gas mileage. barely noticeable, but it will be there

People post in threads saying adding a $200 performance part is a waste if you only gain 1HP, but then post that you should buy more expensive rims because they are lighter.

There are some real morons on this site.

OP, get whatever you like, Rims on this car are for looks, and that's all.

And the ones he posted are trash quality knockoffs.

The finish probably looks like a 15 year old dork with a can of plastidip did them, not the usual sweatshop in Taiwan/Philippines (The standard for cheap wheels)

Have you seen them in person, or is this entirely based off of your obvious hatred for anything that is not "Brand Name"?

I've owned not trash wheels. The finish was excellent.

I've looked at Rotas at meets/shows. They look very bad.

I've looked at Konigs on cars I was looking at buying. They look as bad as the comparison I made would suggest.

Crap companies make crap products.

Not sure if this is by where you live but includes tires. Offset is a little low.
16in Rota Circuit 10 4x100 - $600

16in Rota Circuit 10 4x100 - $600 (Heights)






ROTA WHEELS - CIRCUIT 10
Size: 16X7 Bolt Pattern: 4x100 Offset: 38

Wheels are black and there is a new set of tires put on about 3000 miles ago. Tires are Continental Extreme Contact DWS 205/50ZR/16 and are just like new. Rims are $600 new and Tires are $500 new. I put on smaller wheels on my car so my loss your gain.

Anything but DR-23, Rota Slipstream, or any TE37 copy.

I would get the rims that you like the best and make your Fit look the best; if they happen to be a lighter rim than stockOEM, that will be a plus for the gas mileage !
