Did you mean how much lighter than stock We have not weighed the stock Evo X 18x8.5 wheel, but from reading on the forums it is said to be 23 lbs. The 18x9.5 Torque wheel pictured is 22 lbs

Impressive, sorry for assuming it would be heavier

I think those photos are illustrating that the Brembos don't need to "go" anywhere, which is why the title of the thread is "great news inside"

It's too bad my G-Force's don't fit on my EVO 8 right without spacers!

Good thing is that I still have them and I might trade in my EVO!!!

For umm... say the EVO X!

tons of pictures of them at www.wheeldude.com

If you click on mitsubishi it shows all the wheels available and the boost would be on that page
