Bc they’re 4x100, easy to take, look decent, have tires that can only possibly be a few years old, or…
Puerto ricans will steal anything

Googled it a bunch, everyone on the Fit forums are like why do people want these narrow ass super tucked wheels? I guess the offset and width are horrible for anything besides a fit.

Any factory Honda wheels are popular.
It’s sickening how you could have two cars in a garage, a BMW and a Civic hatch, the BMW would sit there, the Civic would be stripped in a matter of minutes and at the last minute, prob the only thing they would take from the BMW, would be the hood and trunk emblems to hang from their gold chain.

I was going to guess that these are the easy wheels to steal to get Honda OEM TPMS sensors.

I told my dad to buy locks if he plans on parking in the city much. They have a Fit with a minty set of those wheels because they’ve never seen salt.

The only person those locks are going to slow down is your dad if he gets a flat tire. People showing up with enough equipment to steal all 4 wheels from a car know how to bypass the locks just as fast as a lugnut.

Yeah, you can just smack an over sized lug wrench over the wheel lock and it spins right off.
It’s a slight deterrent, but not much.

They steal them because there will always be a market for oem aluminum easy to steal, easy to sell honda wheels. Anyone whos owned a honda and mods them has bought or sold a set of similar wheels. They make the slightest subtle little touch to a car that was boring with steelies on it before.There is no way to track or prove whos wheels they are because they are pretty common with no makings or vin numbers or anything on them. They usually go for 250-300$ a set which is quick easy money to the scrubs that take them.
