hey y'all,

well, i've finally seen the light and have purchased an evo viii... now it's time to set-up summer/winter wheels since i live in the frozen tundra of michigan now. decided to get michelin pilot alpin v-rated tires on the oem wheels for winter, but am indecisive about summer wheels . so here's the list of questions i'm leaving to debate, please feel free to voice all opinions:

1. LE37T or LE28N? love the polished lips... any word on weight differences?

2. 17s v 18s? i know the weight issue, but any word on looks, real compromise in performance? would like to autoX.


3. and the final question, gun-metal v mercury silver? kind of leaning towards the former, but let me know.

thanks for your time and looking forward to the consensus... been a while since i posted 04/02 i think, and it's good to be back .

peace,
pjork-master

 

LE28N is slightly lighter than LE37T. Maybe a pound or two. I'm going off the top of my head here.

18s look better, but they'll be heavier than 17s. I don't think it'll make much of a difference though. No real compromise in performance.

Gunmetal looks great but I think the Mercury Silver is a beautiful finish. Plus I feel gunmetal is getting too common.

So in the end I recommend 18" LE28N in Mercury Silver.

 

hey man, thanks for the input.

LE28N's in gunmetal are gay... don't get them...

 

here are my old 18" CE28N's in Mercury Silver that i had in my last car. Too bad I had to sell them.

For a silver Evo though. Get gunmetal

Woops.

 

Lol! he's only saying that because he has them but i've seen so much of those rims alreay especially in gunmetal. How many can say that about Mercury Silver.

 

Yeah, i just wanted to post them, cuz when mine were being shipped to me is when I saw Diesal's pics of them on his car so I had to put a pic up of mine on a white Evo.
