Ok...I'm kinda confused here

like the title said, I'm confused. Last night I found the rims/tire package that I wanted. So I called Wheelmax.com to place an order this morning, but they said that they didn't have any wheels for my car. So I'm like WTF, man The tire package is Exel - FF6 Gunmetal, wheels offset 235/45/17. So my question is, won't that fit our evo's? Tell me I'm not stupid I'm desperately looking for wheels that is full gunmetal. So any sites our suggestion?

You are only looking at the size of the tire they accept.

You also need to look at bolt pattern, offset, and if they will clear you brakes or not.

Dont get exel. I had exel on my old 3000gt. They are cheap in price but they are also cheaply made. Not worth it. As for the wheels not fitting. You have to look at the bolt pattern. 5x114.3 is what you need.

Yeah, I have exels on my scion xA, where performance does not exist and will never exist. They are SO heavy - I can actually feel a difference between the stock steelies and these rims. They weigh about twice as much. The finish comes off very easily, etc...not worth it on something like an Evo....on an xA, maybe...evo...no.

Here's pics of the rims I have on the xA:

Wow, you really do learn something new eveyday. Thanx alot guys, looks like I'mma be looking at some of the Works wheels. They're too damn expensive though, but I guess it's worth paying for

for the quality, finish, and performance (meaning they won't slow you down, and might speed you up) they are definitely worth the money.
