What size GT-U's were you looking at? Mine are 18x9. Man, we really have similar taste in rims, CE28's bronze were my next choice. You really can't go wrong with bronze or gold rims imo, I'm not a big fan of this current trend of black rims with a polished lip.

If I were to get GTU's it would be 18 X 9's. Don't tell me that you want to trace now. I don't have tires on these and haven't even put them on my damn car yet.

Haha the pic with the kid is priceless...it's going to be Advan's new advertisement. Nice wheels, but I don't find them particularly attractive after CE-28's..

I was waiting for your response. You seemed to always give a nice compliment everytime I posted my car. I personally like the CE-28's better too, but it was time for a change. I was just getting bored with the same ol' look.

Hopefully once they get put on they will change my mind and some others as well.

Thanks for the compliments guys, but I think Mr. Suave is gonna have one of the nicest looking red EVO's on here once he's done with his car. Hopefully I can keep my reputation for having a clean and nicely modded red EVO as well and not look like the Ronald Mc Donald mobile running around.

CE-28N > CE-28NF

Those just don't look right at all.

Waiting for my response, wow, I dunno what to say...thanks ? Haha. I'm sure they'll grow on me too. The reason I don't like them as much is because stock Evo 8 wheels are 6 spokers, and I don't see valid reason for getting wheels with the same number of spokes. Another thing is the lack of a centercap. None the less, your reason of "getting bored of the same look" day in and day out is plenty for me to say...go for it bro! There is only ONE purpose for modding a car, and that's to make the OWNER, not me or anyone else, happy. Hell, I don't even have an Evo yet, so how useful is my opinion now ?!

P.S. - If I pull of an IX sometime soon, will I eat my own words after I get LE-28N's? Same number of spokes as the stock IX wheels . Oh, and post some full car shots with the wheels mounted when possible, one with the kid behind the drivers seat too...I need something to help show how safe the Evo is to my rents .
