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!

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