you can get wheels pretty much like the stock OZ ones from OZ. I think they're called the Chronos or something like that.

the bolt pattern on the ES is 4x100 and the bolt pattern on the OZ is 4x114.3 so like everybody else said, no they wont fit.

Yep, OZ and LS are 4x114.3 while the ES is 4x100.

As for buying the real OZs, I don't think that's the point. Looks like the person was trying to get a decent set of wheels for a lot cheaper. The OZs on the Lancer are manufactured by Enkei for OZ, making them cheaper. Take a look at prices for the real deal and you'll see what I mean.

Yeah OZ wheels are really expensive, but worth it. Much better quality then like american racing or something like that.

That's a pretty broad spectrum. That's like comparing Ultra wheels to HRE.

I've always been partial for the OZ superleggeras in the dark grey, or the volk TE37. Really nice rims but kinda pricey.

check out tire rack, i just got a nice set of 16's off of there with some nice kumho tires. they got some good stuff and the way they set it up to find your rims/tires is very nice.
