Hi,

I need help on the specific size of my tires. Is it 14'' or 15''? I would like to change some hubcaps...

( the spinning ones on the top )

$119.95 for 4

What do you think?

Thanks,
Michael

 

im usualy not one to criticize, but,,,
What Are You Thinking?

 

Just buying some new hubcaps.... I suppose.....different from the factory ones...... if those don't fit, then what do you recommend?

 

SAVE UP FOR RIMS! Wow talk about a waste of money bro, I would gladly sell you my left over winter rims and tires to save you the trouble of wasting your hard earned money. If you plan on getting new hubcaps go to pep boys or something where they are only like $35.00 and come in gunmetal, black, silver, chrome, W/E your into, but are you buying these spinners as a joke? I don't get it. I mean to each his own, but $120 for hubcaps is the most retarded rip off of the century besides the fact that they are spinners, and on a lancer?!?!

 

I don't mean to knock on you michsu, sorry about that, but I am trying to direct you to a more wiser decision. Good Luck and pm me if your interested in my rims......

 

Thanks for your help..... I'm just starting to work on my "body" of the car... I just finished installing a new head unit, subs, 2 amps,fog lights ( remote control .. hehe ), and some neon lights inside the car...

I'm just interested in changing the look of the tires for now.... at least make them chrome-like....

Can you direct me to some links where I can get these hubcaps or rims ( best deal )?

 

Honestly, just go to PEP BOYZ or AUTOZONE or STRAUSS, any automotive store will have them for at least a third of the price of that website. There's no need to order online, but honestly it is still a waste of money if you plan to get rims in the future. I am not sure about other people on this site, but I just laugh and pity the people who buy chrome hubcaps and especially chrome spinners!

 

Would it be better to change the rims then ( I see that 17'' are popular size, right? The chrome hubcaps are the copy-cat version of getting chrome rims, right?\

You still haven't answered my question, though....

what are the tire sizes for Lancer 2002 ES model?..... could you find out , please?

Thanks....

 

those hubcaps are crap!!! my brother is the manager at pep boys and they get complaints about them falling apart and damaging other peoples cars all the time. I would stay away and save for wheels. I'll sell you mine in Jan if you want. Im going to get new ones

the ES has 14 inch wheels by the way. Its on the side of your tire.

 

Ok, thanks..... I just thought chrome hubcaps might look better than the stock ones... also, thanks for the info on tire size...

what size rims would you recommend?

 

16 or 17 depending on what kind of ride you want
I personally have 17's and enjoy the ride but it would be a little smoother with 16's. Just not as extreme looking

 

For what I see..... it's around $400-450 for the Rims ( 17'' )... is there a better deal online , or would it be better to get it from the stores?

It seems rims are better than hubcaps..... then what are the hubcaps good for ( I mean, getting better ones... ) It seems it serves no other purpose.. Recommendations here said that hubcaps aren't worth to buy??... ( or only after you get the bigger rims? )

 

Are you getting chrome rims? They shouldn't be that expensive if they're not chrome.
