Cleanest and best performing OEM wheels on EJ8?
Looking for opinions on cleanest and best performing, 4 lug, 16"+ OEM Honda wheels. They will be on a gunmetal EJ8 with rear OEM si lip and front mugen lip, no fog lights. Lips and side skirts paint matched.
The chromies gotta go.
I'm leaning toward '07 Fit wheels, but was wondering if there is something a bit wider since my heavy *** Motegi garbage 7's can't even keep 3rd gear on the ground atm.
Thanks for input.

07-08 Fit Sport wheels are 15". The optional HFP wheels are 16". Both are pretty heavy for OEM wheels. The 15" comes in at about 17.5 pounds.

You're not likely to find an oem wheel that's wider than 15x6.
Why not just get some konig feathers or something that's a 15x7 and get some sticky tires?
What tires are you running now? WHP?
This topic is also probably better suited to the wheel/tire forum. There's nothing 92-00 model specific about oem wheel selection and traction problems resulting from a limited wheel choice.
What is really important if traction is your big concern is what kind of power you're putting down and what tires you're using.
Edit: Noticed your sig, 300whp.
With 300whp you shouldn't even be considering oem wheels. You need a 15x7 or 16x7 wheel with a sticky summer tire. Or at the very least a low treadwear rated all season like a nitto neogen or something. And I wouldn't even recommend that.
