Now the second part of your question... Don't forget to take out the pop-out screw beside the gas pedal, then remove the removable panel from the passenger side to have access to the other pop-out screw. Now remove the screws hidden in the arm rest. And that's all I can remember. You should be good to go.

But then again,the design is fairly basic.

Yeh, like hobie said. it is OZ's design of their *Chrono evolution*, just smaller in 15".

It's not less accurate than SRT on a Neon and SVT on a Focus.

Why? Because it wasn't made in an Italian wheel factory? It was still designed by and legally licensed by OZ. I'm sure they gave the thumbs up before it was ever sold too.

Couldn't care less myself. I can't imagine tuning a car and keeping the stock wheels on it anyway.

I was cleaning my alloys and the marking were a little different. Are these real OZ wheels?

These are on my lancer OZ edition.

Here are the pictures. I was planing to paint them black, what do you guys think?

Thanks!
