Tons of them. Go to www.tirerack.com and look at what they have in the size and bolt pattern you want and get some ideas to begin with. =)

Good brand ..
Volk Racing (and all the Rays)
Advan
Enkei Racing
OZ Racing

these are the most popular brand i see on Evo/Lancer so far..

all depends on your budget ..

Enkei RPF1 (very light) is around 400$ each
and Volk TE37 is around 800$ each ...

Volk, Enkei and OZ are .. but the thing i dun like about Tirerack is they dun show ALL the option... they only provide u what they can guarantee to fit.

Do a bit of research about width and offset, u can get more selection from vendor here like Evasive, Vivdracing .. etc check out the Evo X Vendor thread and contact the vendor, im sure they can recommend something

If you have specific brands in mind you can go look at what they have by brand and what sizes are available. =)
