The OFFICIAL Fit Shoes Thead! (Lug Nuts Included!)

I just got a set of used Drag dr16s black with polished lip. I have milano red fit. My question is should I keep these and paint a different color, or trade for some meshies painted white with a red lip. Only paid $350 for drags with 85% tread. Meshies are fresh with brand new tread? What do you guys think?

^^ That's a killer deal for some used drags with 85% tread. In Portland, they sell for $500-600 all day. But yeah, it's all on your preference brutha! For me personally, I think black wheels w/polished lip looks JDM-wannabe on a red honda fit (or any honda for that matter). But if you like em, don't let other people's opinion(s) sway you differently.

Traded the drags for jmags. 15x7 +42. I fiqured out I was too low for 16s, or anything lower than +42 offset. Js rub very little only on hard bumps at high speed. Got jmags in paint booth now painting faces PPG caramel apple. Ill post pics up probably monday of drags and js. Alignment tuesday to add a little negative to fronts. Im set at zero now, going to about stock-1. All fenders have been rolled, liners and tabs all cut.

SI Buttons are so lovely. I'm a sucker for them. What size tires are those? Looks dope lowered on them.

I love all of your cars with these aftermarket rims, but after reading all of this and everything else on this site, im more confused than when i got here! im jus gonna buy the stock tire size rather than take a chance on rims and they end up rubbing! discount tire says a size fits, then i read here it rubs! tire rack says rims that should fit my car wont! idk who to trust! never had issues like this with any of my civics!

I for myself prefer Gramlights 57D. I really like that 6 spoke design. Why not try a flashy color, maybe neon orange or yellow? I'm sure that looks pretty awesome.

Comments: Relocating front fender liner to above front fender lip eliminated front rubbing. Filing down about 1/4 inch of inside corner of rear bumper mounts fixed 90% of rubbing in rear, now just needs SLIGHT fender roll to eliminate the rest.
