Happy New Year

looks are totally subjective, so while maybe for YOU there are better choices out there, for HIM, it may be as good as it gets.

THAT BITES! Did you get your settlement yet?
I'm in Mass also, so when it came to deciding on mods, I did a Fujita short ram intake and a HKS axle-back. The short ram got rid of the hesitation the stock air box sometimes caused. Love the sound of the HKS. But as far as new rims are concerned, I'm thinking about it still. I'd use the stock rims for Blizzaks. But I've ruled out lowering. It would be great if the roads were as smooth as the sunbelt, or even as good as some of the roads in Montreal, but around here there are too many bad roads to sacrifice any more comfort than stock as far as I'm concerned.
BTW, I bought my NHBP Fit Sport at Rockingham in Salem, NH, and they include a locking lug nut set on every car they sell with alloys. No extra charge.

Thanks again for all the support guys, I've decided to go with 15" Rota Slipstreams. Kinda plain but I like the black on black. And yeah, the roads here SUCK especially around Boston. I don't feel like dealing with a lowered and nice looking car because it absolutely will not stay mint, regardless. And I need to beat on my ride for work a little.

IT LIVES AGAIN!
So I finally got around to taking some pictures of the new rims I got. They're Rota Slipstreams, it's making me nervous how many people have been eyeballing me driving around.

Sorry for the pic sizes, it's kinda late and I'm tired and lazy as a result. I'm pretty happy with the new rims. The scumbags to stole my originals almost did me a favor, as I got these pretty cheap on eBay.

As far as looks have seen them on 30 other fits and they are kinda just there. Don't look to bad tho.

They look nice, thanks for the pics
good to see commander quack back in action
(but it seems as if you promoted him...yes/no? as if I recall he was in the back before, now he is riding shotgun )
So congrats on the rims and hopefully it will take your mind a little bit off the originals being stolen.

Thanks for the support everybody!
The duck usually rides shotgun, he's just a Captain now. The demotion stands.
Those are just 15's. I just noticed how popular the Slipstreams are, a couple of other people on the board have them, too. It's alright though, the only people around here who have Fits are yuppies and old people - so mine is still pretty unique.
The tires are Yokohamas, the S.drive's. They're 205s which I found is pretty awesome on the Fit for handling. Cornering is so much more fun now, I just need to roll the rear fenders for a complete job since there's a little rubbing.
I don't think too much about the stolen rims since I'd say I have nicer ones now. Except now I have two different sets of wheel locks and park behind my house, not in the street.
