Hard to give any advise if you don't give the size or offset. If you like it and it fits go for it. You should be the one who is happy with your wheels.

They Are the exact same size as stock rims.. And i like creative input from other people so im not always happy with my choices unless i get negative and positive feedback.. and without seeing them on the car i am skeptikal if they will do ok... maybe someone can photoshop them? i think the pic is too big for that though

Im not a hater or anything, but if you go out and buy an Evo at least put wheels that are worthy of going on it.

TSW is so Civic it isn't funny....honestly, you just bought a $29,000+ car, either spend the money and get better rims or stick with the Enkei's which are already pretty friggin nice.

TSW = Ghey

well I got a buget man... i got someone buying my wheels and i dont want to spend more than 400 more than i get for my stock.. my total wheel purchase needs to be in the ball park of 1,000-1,200... if you can inform me on some good wheels for that price let me know... and i like the enkei's but i just want a different look, weight and stuff is not that importaint to me...

And if TSW is not the way to go enlighten me

they are nice rims for a reg lancer, but not really something i'd put on an evo. the enkei's are very nice, so unless you improve just use the money on something else more beneficial for your car.

Tim I am going to have my summer set of stock EVO wheels powder coated black -- I guess you will get to see how it turns out on silver.

Well after looking into wheel brands ect... i have decided

1. i want a lighter wheel than stock
2. you all are right TSW is trash
3. Im going to spend the extra cash for some quality SSR wheels


I have chose to get the SSR 17X8.5 SSR Competiton I have added a picture below(although i know most of you already know what they look like...


I have a shop here in NC that will get them and install them for $1,800 w/tax Is this a good price?
