I just put 16x7 rpf1s with stock size tires on mine. What offset are yours? The pics don't work.

The wheels look good on the car and it IS an upgrade, knocking down the weight that much at each corner makes the car handle and brake better, period. I do agree with some others that said something about going with a slightly wider tire. I went from a 185/55 to 205/50 on my Fit and also went up 1" width and lost NOTHING in the mpg department and gained EVERYTHING in the handling department, and the wheels weren't any lighter, possibly the same weight or a little heavier, that's it.

I just installed the exact same setup (size wise). Not sure his offset, but I went with +30. The front sits about flush with the fender. The handling and acceleration feel better. Especially the handling. Feels much more confident in turns. I'm using the OEM tires and they seem to have higher cornering limits as well. Strange how much difference a wider track and lighter wheel can make.

Not that I'm aware of. As popular as they are, I've never heard of any unusual problems. Just don't run a 35 series tire

I really like this setup! I wonder if they come in something that would look good on white

Everything looks good on white. Gold, bronze, black, silver or of course... White. Storm trooper that thing out white on white or black on white.
