Now it's Officially a Storm Trooper!
 

So I finally got some new wheels & tires on the car. Didn't go to crazy with sizes because i'm not too comfortable with the idea of fender rolling. That being said, I think the wheel/tire combo looks perfect despite the car needing to be lowered soon.
Car hasn't been washed in a week so forgive me for the dirtiness.
Just took these after getting installed about 2 hours ago, but I'll have some better pics soon once I lower it.
Special thanks to Oakos Automotive for a great deal on the wheels!

Let me know what you folks think! :mitsu:{thumbup}

HAWT!!!!! nice wheels!

Looks great!:beer:

Thanks everyone. I'm definitely going to be lowering it soon. Right now, this was a big investment for me as I recently got married and my wife and I are currently house shopping. So the budget is kind of tight. Since this is my DR, i'll probably go with a set of Eibachs and then eventually upgrade to some coilovers.
I love the way the car looks. Even with it's monster-truck suspension, it's such an aesthetic upgrade IMO. Makes you wonder why Mitsubishi doesn't just offer wheels like this from the factory.

Nice, dude. Going the same exact set up. You should Plasti-Dip the front emblem so it's stealth from the front. :)

that is a very sexy storm trooper!

Looks great! I'm jealous now...lol :}

Hopefully ordering rpf's this week, you helped make my decision easy! Car looks great.

drop it and call it a day. awesome fit.

After seeing these of 245 I think I'm going to go 255/35 instead of 265/35. Can't decide though...:'(

Try and get some springs ASAP :/ will look good once dropped

Looks good. Definitely will look hot once dropped

offset is too low, car is too high and tires are too narrow

:confused:

Offset is perfect?!? Going any wider tire means you have to roll the rears...

How is it too low? He want's an aggressive look without rolling fenders. 245's look fine and once he's dropped it'll look better. :confused:

I want those wheels so bad

looks great{thumbup}{thumbup}. Love the black...way better than florescent nonsense :lol:

Have you thought about debadging your X? {offtopic}

Going to this weekend. Mitsubishi & Lancer badges are coming off. {thumbup}

Don't forget to black out your front emblem. Plasti-Dip matches the matte plastic on the bumper. :)

Weird, you look like you're running more poke than I am with the same exact wheel specs. Wrapped mine in 265/35/18's too.

What alignment specs will you run after lowering? Even with the stretched tires you miiiight have some very minor rubbing in the rear. Run -2 camber up front and -1.0 to -1.5 in the rear.

Sick looking car there. I think I just decided which wheels I wil get next for my WW GSR. BTW, did you buy the wheels from one of the vendors on this site?

Way ahead of you. {thumbup}
Picked up a can for the OEM center caps so I can throw them onto the RPFs. I haven't totally decided on the front emblem or not, but I'm probably going to do that also.

Haven't decided on that yet.

Thanks man. Got a great deal from Oakos Automotive.

Love the wheels!

very nice man {thumbup}

i got the same stormtrooper set up, but i painted my headlights, blacked out emblem and ac line, and this weekend am having the roof vinyled flat black.

your car looks just as AWESOME! love the WW's

nice setup, I actually wanted the same kind of setup for mine but do i need to roll the fenders with the same setup plus with the eibach drop? also what if I go with 255/35?

Thanks man. I haven't lowered it yet, but there's someone here on the forums that has the same exact set up(he's who I made my decision based on) and is lowered on hibachis and I don't think he rolled the fenders.

Looks great, Awesome fitment, sits right at the fender ...

looks good man. I have same setup except Im lowered with eiback pro kit and stock advan tires mounted on them...

I'm thinking of doing this setup, i have swift springs, how does it look slightly lowered? Aggressive?

Where in jersey are you located? I see you have jersey plate but have you change it to NY plate?? I see ww evo x with same wheel on Jersey.

here are few crappy pics I took from camera phone. oh and sorry she's dirty she needs to be wash :)
Note: springs are not yet settled b'cuz I just put here down from the jack so she looks higher on this pics. but after few drived by arround the blocks it settled down.

Looks great! I'm thinking of painting the stock wheels black until I get some nice wheels later on.

I def like the cars shoes more than yours! lol just kidding. Looks nice and clean.

just do plasti dip on them incase you changed your mind and want the stock looks of your wheels later on...

How will the plasti dip hold up?

Nice, lookin' good!

It hold up pretty good. its heat resistant and you can also paint on top of it with any color of paint you want...

This car looks great love the RPF1's!
