Looking for Rims for My Honda Fit - Any Recommendations?

Tires & Wheels

I’ve been considering upgrading the wheels on my Honda Fit and I’m looking for some advice on rims. There are so many options out there and I want to ensure I pick the right ones that not only fit properly but also enhance the overall look of my car.

Here’s what I’m thinking:

  • Size: I want to maintain a balance between aesthetics and functionality. What sizes are people running on their Honda Fits?
  • Style: I love the sporty look, but I don’t want to overdo it. Any specific styles that suit the Fit well?
  • Material: I’ve seen options in both alloy and steel. What are your thoughts on the weight difference and performance?
  • Price Range: I’m looking for something that won’t break the bank. What’s a reasonable budget for good quality aftermarket rims?

Also wondering about:

  • Compatibility: Are there specific brands or models that are known to fit better? I want to avoid any fitment issues.
  • Installation: Should I go through a professional, or is it something I can tackle myself?

If anyone has recommendations or experiences to share, that would be fantastic! I’m also open to any online resources or forums that provide good deals or reviews. Thanks in advance for your help!

I’ve been looking for rims too! For the Honda Fit, I recommend 15-inch to 17-inch wheels. They provide a good balance between looks and performance.

Totally agree! I got a set of 16-inch alloy rims, and they really improved my handling.

Alloy rims are great for reducing weight, which is perfect for the Fit. Just make sure they’re compatible with your tire size!

So true! I once bought rims that were too wide and had to return them. Definitely measure first!

I’ve had great experiences with OZ Racing rims. They look sleek and enhance performance without being overly flashy, which I appreciate.

Those are nice! I’m considering something more colorful, like Enkei, for a bit of pop!

Enkei does have some awesome designs! Just check their weight; lighter ones improve performance a lot for the Honda Fit.

I’ve heard mixed reviews about certain brands like Rotor. While some love them, others say they chip easily. Always consider durability!

That’s a good point! I’d rather spend a bit more on quality than risk getting bad rims.

Speaking of quality, I went for HRE wheels, and wow, they look amazing! Just a bit expensive but worth it for the aesthetics.

They sure are stunning! But my wallet cried a little when I bought mine.

Don’t forget about customization! A good paint job or vinyl wrap can totally transform your rims. Just something to think about!

Now that’s a creative idea! I might give that a try for my old rims.

I’d recommend going for 16-inch rims. They provide a nice balance between performance and comfort without sacrificing fuel efficiency too much.

I’ve found that 17-inch rims look great but can reduce ride comfort. It really depends on your driving style!

Always consider the weight of the rims. Lighter rims can improve acceleration and handling significantly! I switched from steel to alloy and noticed a huge difference.

That’s a good point! I also noticed my Honda Fit is more responsive with my new lightweight alloys.

For fuel efficiency, stick with the OEM specs if you can. Deviating too far from those can hurt your MPG, even with snazzy rims!

I went with 17s and honestly, the handling is amazing! Sure, the ride is a bit stiffer, but it feels way sportier.
