Thanks for the info - do you have 15" or 16" heliums? How do you like them? Because they are lighter, do you notice any performance increase or increase in mpg?

I've got the 15's, show your wheels thread page 12 has the bronze 16's.
I didn't use the stock tires so my mileage isn't comparable. I saved the stockers for the winter.

So with the +40 Offset Helium, the wheel sits out about 21mm more than the stock - is this noticeable? Does it sit out too far looking down the side of the Fit?

Thanks

Pink wheels...will i be brave enough???

Ok B4 i start this thread for those that are gonna bash dont even bother stating an opinion...this forum is for us to share our different ways of how we want our cars to look handle whatever whew! ok well i been online looking for a set of different shoes for my ride since i got the ones for autox and my stocks for daily driving...i came across these Rota GT3 rims in hot pink and the Konigs in this pinkish purple

ROTAS


KONIGS

oh and here is some quick photoshop for and idea how it will look...





i am just trying to be different than others as we all are...i love the black on black and love the bronze on black to...white rims are ok and red rims are not bad either...i mean where else would there be a fit with some pink rims...i like how it looks and i will get dumb rermarks about them...but this Fit has to look nice going out and then has its own pair of running shoes for autox...i really am close of getting this...i kinda like the hot pink though

oh rim size for Rota 15x7 40 offset...perfect cause azenis will go on those
you can see th size of the Konigs in the pic

just remember the Yashio Factory cars...all are pink

it's different but not a new look. Just look at Dori Dori wheels which are JDM and cost over $2000 a set!!!! so if there's haters it's cause they're ignorant.

now my wife would LOVE pink. if the damn car was pink she'd love it too. Now that's not because of jdm but being "cute". lol

Its your style. My 1G Probe Turbo had purple GST wheels on it. I painted them that color as a joke. I thought the name "Probe" for a car was so ***, so I added to it and painted them purple. Sure enough people started taking my look. Purple rims showed up at car meets! Pissed me off.

So, I bought some BBS meshies. Painted the mesh black and the lips purple. Looked SO HOT! No one could copy that.

My friends EX has pink rims on her white 94 Teg. Looks good. I painted them.

That pink rim is on the edge for a masculane type person. It is a great color for the super cool girl. I think it can be done either way. If you are the maculane one and are asking you probly should not do it if you like an opinion.
I new a guy that had a lot of pink on his low ridder nissan truck in the 80 s and ninties. He pulled it off. It was a one of a kind that could easy have been in many magazines.
I dont have much to say about the purple rim. It is like art.... go with what you want and express your self. If you dont post pics I will be kinda mad
The samples you posted are not great because it isnt finished. the car needs more detail to make it so the kids and grandmas will say wow that is a nice car

well now i am looking at the blue rims and green rims...i am undecided so far...trust me i will go for the pink if i make up my freaking mind...remember JDM style has a certain twist to it as the they dont care about color, just how they want to hook the car up cause in Japan they do some sick shit with their cars and the colors they choose for them are out of hand difference is they dont judge each other like we do here, you must remeber that. Remember the Yashio Factory cars are pink and that tuner over there gets respect for the cars they build not by the color scheme they chose. i really dont have to express how masculane i am, just getting peoples thoughts for it...i can buy the rims now if i wanted, but i am making a final decision...i most likely will go for the pink, but now i see green and blue rims and have a red flag till i make my choice. the pink Rota GT3s are winning though

stay 15's man. better for track and autoX. what ever ones you choose, it'll look sick. I was thinking about getting Spun wheels before I got my Volks. how much are the Rotas?
