I like the 1st one...my 18 bortex's are similar.

But it is a B**CH to wipe down because of the complicated design. But they look so niiiicceee

They are my favorite of the three I just don't know if I like them on the Lancer if you know what I mean. I saw them on a Rally Red Evo and I just don't know if it was the color or what. But that wheel looks so nice a white car.

The TSWs are a euro design (hence being named after a european track). I think they look odd on Evos /RAs but look really good on that GTI.

However, there is something to be said for being different.

It would all come down to sizes and offsets for me. I dont like the fact that the TSW has no lip but I do like both of the Rotas

Original post is fixed with the sizes and offset.

tsw is in the same boat as rota: all the good looks with middle of the road quality at an affordable price

Id go for the Grids because of the better offset over the G Force & I just dont like the TSWs.

Do you think the stock BBS Wheels on the Evo look odd?

I have the Grids, so that's my biased vote. The center caps won't look like the ones in your picture though.
