Arrow OEM Evo 8 wheels

Are the Evo 8 OEM Enkei wheels any good compared to aftermarket wheels? How is the build quality of the wheels, the weight, etc....

Someone told me the Evo 8 wheels are quite expensive to replace, but not sure how much.

Their light, very strong, and fairly expensive to replace (I think I've seen them for over $500 a wheel new from mitsubishi) I think you can get them used very cheap though.

I actually like the wheels, What I don't like is having what others have, and I like to be different. Otherwise I don't think I'd change much about the appearance of the car except the wheels and that annoying gap between the front fender and wheel.

They weight 24lbs each, cost about $500 to replace at the dealer, but you can get them from Evo owners that are getting new rims for around $250 a piece.

One of my friends is making about 430hp to the wheels and his enkies were flexing at the track.
