Need list of Wheels

So shopping around for some 15'' for my BF's little FIT. lol

But my knowledge of wheels are very VERY limited.

If you guys are bored out of your mind and forums is somewhat moving slow... could ya give me a few light weight brands we could pick off of?

I googled a bit and I found this forum and post. So.. something like this would help me do some searchin' around.

Quote:
BBS:
High-quality, expensive forged wheels that are very strong.

Enkei:
Prices vary widely, but even their less expensive cast wheels are typically well built.

OZ Racing:
They offer a wide variety of wheels, but their mid-grade wheels are reasonably priced and unique in that they're known for their use of low-pressure casting. OZ does what it takes to make their wheels strong.

SSR:
Uber-lightweight semi-solid forged wheels that are slightly cheaper than their forged competition.

Volk, or Gram Lights, or any wheel manufactured by Rays Engineering:
Uber-lightweight forged wheels that are normally quite expensive.
Gratsi muchos guys. :>

Outside of the dirty whores I'd absolutely hate a car show like that.

There are TONS of wheels that fit the fit. Depends on what you want width wise, offset, looks and budget.

I highly recommend the Enkei Racing line of wheels. They are durable, super light, and reasonably priced. The RPF1 and PF01 are the two lightest and least expensive they offer.

PF01: 15x7 (<13lbs) or 16x7 (<15lbs)



RPF1: 15x7 (<10lbs) or 16x7 (<14lbs)

I don't necessarily hate car shows. I hate most of the MEN yes MEN there. Most of the girls that I see there (the drivers) are so much more friendly. I can learn from them. From guys.. all I get are dirty looks and "don't fucking touch my car or ask about my car. Only models and men can."

Beh. :L

Some car meets are cool. Most of the time I don't like going to them.. even though I sometimes like too.

Cool.

Thanks Tom and Venom.

Also. Since it's a wheels thread.. I'll merge my tire thread here too..

IF. The FRS/BRZ gets 17'' wheels is it possible to downsize to 16''? I remember hearing you can't but I can't say for sure until it's been... confirmed. Lol
