wow... you are pretty lame. First of all these wheels are very affordable. Yes they are heavy, but they also come in 17x9 now. Also these wheels are an OEM wheel in the UK for the fq series.. they are lighter then stock, and they are also very durable.. They wouldnt be used as an OEM wheel if they are prone to bending. Thats the reason im going to take these over some super light 5zingen fn10rcs... because firstly I know they are going to last no matter what i throw at them.. much like the stock wheels, and also its and OEM looks for the evo. They look very identical to the wheels used on the WRC05 rally car as well.

I like the wheels, but not the price.

I was talking about the wheels on WORKS website. Sorry if I didn't make that more clear in my post. Why would I complain about wheels that cost $175 each? Don't be so quick to jump somones case.

My buddy has the same wheels as you on a red EVO and it looks good. His car looks ALOT like mine. I have CE-28's on mine and they look similar to the untrained eye. People say they see me all the time and its usually him.

Look at the price before the markdown. What a deal.....

The wheels that he has on his car are the regular TD pro comp 1.. the finish is matte black and doesn't have the mitsu emblem as the FQ-400 does..

The real FQ-400's finish is in high gloss black and comes with the mitsubishi center caps.. I'm bringing some in.. and not at that outrageous price.

$1200 is more reasonable than $2600. There is another thread about the FQ400 wheels in the EVO genral forum. People were ranting and raving over these wheels. That is why I said what I said in my first post. You on the other hand have a good deal going there. Good luck selling them. I'm sure you don't really need it though.

I used dental floss to get it off. I sanded it and then painted it with some spray paint that is made specifically for plastic.

I'm in VA, but that was in WVA on a back road in the New River Gorge underneath the New River Bridge. It was New years day and it was so warm we decided to not go skiing and instead go for a drive. There was NOBODY out at 9am on new year's day
