Awsome Trade IMO

Advans are way more expensive than the falkens, and the BBS wheels look sick on blue

the enkei's are not forged, and they are heavier and weaker than the BBS wheels

The Enkeis are forged.

Gentlemen, meet MitsubishiCars.com. Open Body/Suspension/Chassis, look at the "Wheels:" row, and find where it says 17" x 8" Enkei® Double Five-Spoke Cast Aluminum Alloy Wheels. Then take a glance over to the MR column, with its 17" x 8" BBS® Double Seven-Spoke Forged Aluminum Wheels

I have an MR with the SE package, but I think I might have gotten the MR BBS wheels instead of the SE wheels.

How can I tell the difference?

Look wise not the best desicion but quality of forged rims and performance of Advans did it for me. Sorry no pic with 5zigens on this computer,hope you know how they look like.{I can still take them back till this friday though. Let me know what ya think on the straight up trade. thumbdwn}

So why in the hell did you trade for stocks? It looks good and all but then again its just another evo slammed on STOCK WHEELS

put the 5zigens back on especially if there 17 x 9 wide is good.... lol except on women

Hey guys. First of all i dont really care about looks anymore. I think 5zigens mightve looked better but i was tired of them anyway. And i dont think that MR BBS look too bad on EB. Forged wheel +new Advans i think better then cheap non forged 5 zigen +Falkens. I got 5zigens used for 550$. I know wider is better but its not a track car and i think 8.5 width with advans handles better then 9 width with Falkens. Better steering response as ive noticed,more precise. Thanks for your opinions anyway.
