E7 wheels OZ Superleggera or Prodrive GC-07?
I am looking for a pair of light weight wheels for my e7 from evo imports that will be ready in a couple weeks. Does anyone know if the OZ Superleggeras or Prodrive GC-07 s will fit and e7?
thanks mike

I believe there are several different sizes, bolt patterns and offsets for both types of wheels. You should probably just grab the .pdf manual for the Evo and find out the proper numbers then work from there. Good luck.

Hi
as long as the wheel is the right size, ie. 17 x 7.5 or 8 and the offset is +38, PCD 114.3 holes, the wheel will fit.
Some very strange spoke designs, where the spokes actually "go inside" (if you know what I mean), might not give enough caliper clearance. I know this is an issue with the 18 inch OZ Superleggeras, but that's due to the fact the offset is wrong.
Have you checked the "Wheels" sticky in this forum?
I currently use 17 x 8 Speedline Corse 2120 magnesium wheels (11 spoke) which fit fine and only weigh 7.8kg. That's a 9.6 kg saving of unsprung weight given that there are 4 wheels on the car and that the standard wheel weighs 10.2kg. 
together with lightweight magnesium bolts, the total weight saving is over 10 kg.

The superleggera are avaible in england in the right size for the evo vii, and they do not need spacers.
The prodrive should be ok as Manuel Go have them.
Fit 18 inches wheels if you go for light ones, as they look much better, give more clearance for bigger brakes or brake cooling, and a little bit more grip.
