I only looked at the two wheels on the drivers side. I don't know for sure,
but presume they were the same on the pax side.
(Folks don't like it when you prowl around their car, and look at it closely for
a longish time. They think you're scoping it out for a break in. Don't ask me
how I know. That time the security guard did buy my "Just looking at aero
details, Sir." story.
"Move along now." )
I think it was a 2010, it was very shiny with no chips or scratches... yet.
I poked all 'round the 'Net -- official Honda sites, Fit sites, etc -- looking for
info on this and have found none. The pix are of wheels for sale from the
'Net though.
Apparently, there have been many different wheels on the different levels of
the Fit over the years, many of them alloy. There have been other steelies
that have symetrical holes. This is allegedly on a Fit: (Pix from the 'Net.)
The earlier pix were taken from the inside/backside of the wheel.
I guess the hole for the valve stem is in the cylindrical rim itself,
on the other side of the perforated disk.
(In the picture above, the valve is at 6 o'clock.)
That's all that I know at this point.
Could the asymmetrical hole pattern have something to do with
breaking up/randomizing the airflow through the wheel and minimizing
the turbulence downstream of the wheel wells?
The wheel cover had a five spoke arrangement, and the hole pattern roughly
divides the wheel in half. I guess you could get three or five different hole
arrangements/net hole areas in the five wheel cover openings.
If this is the reason, would it hurt or help aero to take the wheel covers off?
Inquiring minds are bebaffled, bebothered, and bewildered.
