Bought a set of MR wheels/tires thinking I'd put them on our Evo X GSR but had a flat on my '05 Evo VIII so I figured I'd use them as a spare set for now.

Well, after putting them on, I think I'll just keep them for the VIII. I really like the look.

What do you think?

It's alright. I think I might like it better wingless. It actually looks better than I thought it would. Not bad.

Doesn't look bad, but I agree that the X GSR wheels look better on the VIII.

I think they look awesome, but I'm not feeling the small wing. They have been selling for good money from what i've seen but just like IX Se bbs wheel they will eventually come down. I will have to try and get a set then.

I may swap these BBS wheels onto the X and put the X GSR wheels on the VIII, just to see. But I really like these on the VIII. And, from the pics of the White Evo X MR's, I think I prefer the GSR wheels on that too. But I needed new tires soon and I got a good deal on these with practically new Advans so I can't complain, the BBS rims/tires didn't cost me that much more than I would have spent on a new set of tires.

I realize folks here don't like the small wing much but prior to the evo's (I'm on my 3rd one) I was mostly into german sports sedans. So I guess I'm more into the toned down sleeper look. I still have the CF tall wing and have had it off and on a few times. Only takes 10mins to swap out. We have the tall wing and the aero kit on the X.

I have a set of black Axis reverbs that were on the 8, but I took them off as I need to get two of them refinished. Might be for sale cheap soon if I decide to stay with the BBS.

Here is what it used to look like. I still like this look too:



Anyways, thanks for the input.
