I Just Got Confirmation On My Fit. The Dealer Said He Could Put On Honda Alloy Wheels For Me. 16" Or 17". Any Recommendations Which Ones Would Look Good As Well As A Good Ride And Doesnt Reduce Any Handling?

I'd stay away from the 17". The 16" will look cool but ride quality might suffer. If the wheels and tires are heavier than stock, handling, acceleration, and possibly MPG will suffer. The 16" factory wheels look nice but are a little expensive for what you get. There are a lot of nice, light wheels out there that will look great and not compromise in these areas. Lighter 15" wheels will potentially improve handling, braking, acceleration, and MPG. Remember also that the dealer will charge you for the new tires as well and you never know what kind of quality you'll get.

If you want good looks then 16" is safer while 17" might fit but might also rub. The bigger the rims the more they weigh which will detract from daily driving- slower to accelerate, longer to brake, smaller and stiff sidewalls that add to noise and rough riding.
Also the FIT takes only 4 bolts and that will limit which rims from Honda will clear the wheel wells.
