What did you do to your GK Fit today?

Thanks
It was a good wheel and tire day. Picked up the Ultraleggera from the powder coater. I have a total of less than $400 into them. Also received my $4 shipped Mugen center caps from China to complete my winter wheel setup. Those will go on tomorrow. Too bad my eBay lug nuts have rusted.
As a side note: The Ultraleggera are the 5th set of wheels I've bought from Wisconsin. One set from Appleton and four from Milwaukee and it's suburbs. Not sure what the deal is? The recent Ultraleggera, OZ Crono HT, TR or Tire Rack house brand, SSR Type C and a cheap set of Maxxam that I bought for my sons car. They usually start out high, go unsold for about a month with continual lowering of the price and then take my low offer.

It's more like I have a wheel and tire fetish. My son has a $1500 car and I bought another set of wheels for that. LOL I have three sets for my Subaru because I sold some. Basically, I buy some wheels. Usually used. Use them for awhile and then sell them. Haven't lost any money yet. Occasionally, I break even, most of the time I make money. Plus I always drive on something different.

That's about what my Fit looks like in the winter. In the spring, the nicer wheels - and new tires - go back on.

We have K&N permanent filters - air and interior - in both of our Fits.

No chemical smell - or maybe the smell part of my brain has been killed.

Cool, well I took a look and it seems like a few of the plastic rivets are missing underneath. When first I got the car I saw that a few were missing but now I've got no clue where to get them from.

They're cheap, and they work perfectly for those two rear plastic attachments. Honda charges about $1.00 each for their part, but these are better, and they're almost free.

Few days ago I decided that since the weather around here had been warm for several weeks, I was wearing out my snow tires for no reason. Put the summer wheels/tires back on, and now next week is supposed to drop below freezing again. Guess I'll have to keep an eye on the forecast, but having good tires on the car feels great.

Last car I had, I swapped the tires back and forth on the same set of wheels. When spring rolled around, I told the wife I needed to swap the tires, because it wasn't cold anymore. Somehow, every time I wanted to work on the car, I was an insensitive jerk who was spending too much time ignoring everything else I needed to do, and ended up running the snow tires three months longer than I wanted.
Lost half the tread in those three months, the compound is so soft that it just can't handle the heat. If it's cold and dry, I still want them on, but if it's 50 and above, I can handle keeping an eye on the forecast every few days. Much faster to switch now with two sets of wheels.
