Neither are jaw-dropping, but I like the IX's better. Weird because I prefer (usually) 6-spoke designs to most

I like the '05 rims better. Not a fan of the '06's but there better than what comes on most vehicles.

the many spokes just like seem not so great ... simplicity *+ the nice clean color* of the 05 rims were just enough for me =)

The 9 rims are lighter at least. That's gotta count for something...

The split spoke has always been my style and I was pleasantly surprised the first time I saw pics of the IX. IMO, I think they are ALOT nicer than the VIII's, even though I always liked those too.

I guess that I am the only one that hates the 8 wheels. The 9's are a night and day improvement imo.

i agree. I thought the wheels on the 8 were the weakest point on the evo. the 9 wheel s are a step up...still not as nice as the MR wheels though
