dude, i can't wait to go back home so i can put these on. i just have to save up some money to get some Skunk2 coilovers so my car will be sitting right. i got the GF210's right now but those springs only give a moderate drop that doesn't give these rims any credit. i'm pretty sure that i'll have to roll my fenders now.

So yeah, these are the wheels. Now, I'm going to find a some visors and a center console. I'm in JDM heaven, LOL. In Japan, even the people are JDM. HAHAHAHA!

Yes. If you try 205/45x16 tires. Very iffy with 195's.

If I go with 205/40/16, will that make the overall diameter of the wheels small enough to effect the speedometer and mileage of the car?

honestly, WITH ALL HONESTY, it looks better than the Fit/Jazz. but i prefer honda's reliability and the Fit's performance.

I knew we were always getting overcharged for everything! I have friends in Thailand, who have Honda's with all Spoon or J's Racing parts and they paid alot less than what we pay in the states.

Wow, nice rims. Really cool color too.
I'd love to visit Japan. It looks amazing from what I've seen.
