Suck b/w 2 types of wheels. Can you help out?

I know they look the same and I know that the Rotas are played out but I still like the way they look.

But tell me what you guys think about the LC5 Motegi Teflon Black

Please choose the one you'd rather see on your Fit. And if its neither, then just dont reply. Thanks.

By the way, the rim size will be 15x7 or 6.5

Both do seem nice but...

I'd probably sport the Rota's, to me it seems to support the general feel and appeal of the Fit. Neither are stand out flashy (if thats your thing, doubt it since you want them in black) but the Motegi's seem a bit umm...
lessse...errrr....ummm....less filled with character. And I think the Motegi's would also just frame more of your stock brake set up and suspension.

Damn it... I think Im biased against the Motegi because it looks like an R/C cars wheel. And in favor of the Rota's I dig the similar look of the Fit Spoon race car.

hope that helps or confuses more...

damnit i really hate how thats the first thing every one notices about my car. im going to have them all repaired after winter. its like my passenger side is a target. there are literaly 6 on the passenger side and 0 on the drivers side. its irritating because i try so hard to park away from assholes but they just find me i guess.

sorry for hijacking the thread by the way.

No no, Thanks for posting a pic of your car, since it has rotas. What size tires, rims, and spring setup do you have? And do you rub

This pic just did it for me. I love the way they look on the car. Nice drop too man. Whats the measurement of the lowest setting?
Darn, that sux about the rubbing. So you think if you would have gone with the 205/45/15 you wouldnt rub anymore?

ill have to say that i really do think 15's are a bit to small for our cars. the 16" rim looks just right. Although im riding on 17" rims.. i would prefer 16" over all the rims sizes.

Yea, I kinda feel the same way about the 15 but i do like the look of the chunky tires with the 15's. But when I saw the 16's with the right size tires, i knew those were perfect.

205/45/16 are RIGHT....

by the way ...what color is your car?
if its red...i would say get the 16" white slips. that would be the only reason why i would rock the slips.

mmhm.
