Just save your money or get some RPF1's. you can find some good used ones and tires in the for sale section.

those wheels IMO are wack though

Yeah unfortunately it is... I pick #4 if I HAD to.. but i wouldnt settle on cheap wheels, especially on a quality car... at the very least pick out some rota's or XXR's

The point that everyone is trying to make is that the STOCK Evo wheels are AFTERMARKET and are higher quality pieces made by a BETTER AFTERMARKET company than the wheels you are picking from.

If you got to choose #4 but keep in mind that cheap wheels will be heavier and like everyone else said is counter intuitive. Save a lil more $ and get better wheels!

If I had to pick, #1. Tastes are subjective, but I like OEM rims, and the ones from the X look nice on 8/9s imho.

who would've thought? a large car maker like mitsubishi putting the testing, engineering, thought behind a product they sell? all so that someone can replace it with a POS part that is doesn't even stand up to the standards of 3rd world countries. all so that he/she can be "different." nah, no way!
