Actually, there were wheels on the other side of the car. This, however, means that they could only afford 2, which is even worse than none! And to make it seem even worse, their other show car - a new STi, also had only two wheels, but didn't even have those fancy hub-connecting stands that the Evo did!

Observe and laugh -

Anyone who was there care to comment on the average wheel diameter picked for the show cars? I would venture a guess that a lot of companies went with something bigger than 18".

Also, I figured someone would have made cool hood struts already, but I think I saw all prop-rods in the engine bays.

Top 3 Ohlins,HKS,Team Orange... but like people have said the X aint gonna look like that once out in the public for 1 the car it self is gonna cost you 37K+ even close to 40k and since the car is just coming out the parts and mods you seee either gonna COST you $$$$ and you would prolly be waiting for awhile to get them here since we need to get them shipped to the U.S but thats my 2cents prolly SpeedElement or ViVId or etc.. have the parts already who knows. but the X is lookin good with aftermarket supplies and wheels.. but a STOCK X versus a STOCK IX on looks ALONE ill stick with my IX for now... and once i see a X lookin like the CT230 HyperMax and performing like one all hail VIII & IX's But i love both i just gotta wait couple more weeks till i get to test drive someones X then my opinion will change and thats that

Well, all I can say is let's see how this new Evo X perform and then you will remember all what I've said.......
Not to start an argument, but some of those Evo's are race cars, and shop cars too. All they have are tons stickers, but thats because they have to promote there business, but the majority of them have ( FMIC, intercooler pipping, intakes, racing wheels, Exhaust, and some bucket seats, piggy back engine management systems )....... Just Bolt-ons. I think that almost everybody here in this forum have the same mods done to their Evo 8 & 9's too. Remember also when the Evo 8 & 9's came out they had tons of sticker on them too at the Tokyo Auto Salom (TAS) to promote their product. (my Evo is completely stock so i'm NOT making fun of you.).....Just a quick question....... is you evo stock????

And check out what other stuff HKS is developing for the X -

Engine internals


Transmission internals



And then there is their exhaust and some kind of special engine oil specifically for the 4B11

This is probably the last bunch of pics I'm posting, cause I'm sure that every X at the show has already been posted here multiple times from most angles possible. This pics are from Auto-Otaku, possibly the best ones out there.
