Getting rid of the rims? Sad. But I guess it's better than selling your Fit. Hope things get better for you soon. Shame. Those wheels are excellent.

i know a fix for your problem!! get adjustable coilovers and raise up your ride height a bit. a pricey fix, but effective.

YES! Im keeping them!

While taking a shower a great thought popped into my brain! My thought-
"Why not just put some good rubber on my stocks, and then autoX on those, cuz they wont rub no matter how hard i turn! Then i can paint them white and they will look sick, YEAH!"

^That was my thought, so thats my plan! Im happy!

Whatever tickles your pickle dude. As long as the BC's stay on your car

Get some sticky 205's, the lightest ones you can find.The OEM wheels are dog heavy. Or get those Si's for trackers.
Sell the OEM's for Si's since they look similar, just the Si's weigh about 1000lbs less.

Not a bad idea at all cause those Si's are really really nice. Went on HT last night a few times trying to find some and couldnt...Then i went on Craigslist with no luck..Ill keep searching though. Id pick them up new but 550$ is more then i want to spend on some track wheels..

Its actually a great idea now that I think of it... Im awesome, I know.
Wheels are light and the offset is good enough for a steady stance. You may be able to go 215's on the rims. Lots of surface patch and the extra weight of the tires should do much because the light wheels.

But the wheels are 15x6. 215's may be a little big and could bulge off the rims. My Eurosports dont bulge off the rims but theyre 15x6.5in. With my Eurosports on, I have seriously never driven another car that handles like my Fit. And Im on Kumhos.

You were gonna sell them just cause you couldnt use them for auto x? I figured you were in a jam and needed money or something. I was way off.

I may make a WTT thread over at honda tech to trade my FitS wheels for some 00 or 01 Si wheels. It may be kinda hard to find someone who wants to let them go but its worth a try.

Make sure it says 99-00. Some of the 7th gen Civic have them also, they look the same and stuff but Im not sure if they ARE the same wheels. Weight and what not.

Just say 6th-7th gen Si wheels. Im sure someone will go for it.
