Swapped out Evo VIII Wheels for some IX's!

Picked up a set of IX's today and swapped out my VIII's. I purchased the Evo with about 9,000 miles on it and the original owner had put Pirelli P6 All-Seasons on the wheels. I am assuming he was having issues driving in the snow with the stock tires. Anyways, I still have the Pirellis on the new wheels now.

looks good man! how much were the wheels?

Spikedlee Jan 27, 2007 10:57 AM

I paid 400 cash and did a local pick up in Chicago. I think it was a good deal. I've always liked these wheels better than the VIII's.

Looking good. :)

I like the look of the VIIIs better but the IX are lighter and for $400 bucks you cant go wrong.

Thats a steal those look nice.

The funny part is how my friend who doesn't own an Evo told me I was getting ripped off...What a moron. He doesn't even know how much a full set costs with tires!!!

ripped off? Each wheel from mitsu is well over $800, and you paid $400 for the set.

So I am looking to sell all 4 of my 8's now. One of them is 2 months old because it had to get replaced. The other 3 have been on the car for what is just now 20K miles and are in good condition. Does anyone have any idea how much I should try to sell these for?

They look good for sure. But i like the evo 8 rims better than the IX rims. And i have a IX. I have ssr wheels on it,but i didnt put them on just because i didnt like the stock rims.I was changing them anyway. Your car looks great with them,not putting them down in any way.

I'm going to take shots of my old VIII's and post em up for local sale this week if anyone is interested.
