I must say, I'm not a big fan of gun metal, and I've only seen 2 cars I've liked with gold rims. One was a WRX on the Speed channel, the other was a '64 Impala (and it was BLINGIN!). I think the white would give it a nice racing contrast. And you can't go wrong with silver. You now owe me 2 cents.

since we are in the rims/tires topic, i have an ES, what was the size again (4x100 or 4x114.3)?

also, i want to get 17's, what is the minimum and maximum tires size should i get? (205 or 215 or is there some other size)?

mikenuts, you have no problem with your 215/45/17 wheels?
any thing positive to say about your rims?

thanks

What about camber problems?

I did not find any camber correction kit for the lancer.. and with 17 or 18s I can't beleive there is no camber problem!

Silver man, silver. Gunmetal looks too dark/dirty unless they have a silver lip.

ES is 4 x 100.

215 is about as wide as you can go without having rubbing issues.
