Thumbs up Pics of my new wheels and drop.......

The weather is nasty and the car could use a wash but here are some pics anyways.

The wheels are Enkei RZ-5 in sizes 16x7. The color is just about a dead-on match for the Thunder Gray. Tires are BFG g-Force Sport in sizes 205/45/16.

The drop is courtesy of H&R Sport springs. The ride is still very good but firmer than stock, as can be expected.

Enjoy.

I had 17's before and sold them. I got sick of riding on low-profile tires. The car rides better now, even with the drop, than it did on just the 17's. Plus tires are a lot more $$$ (for good ones).

Then there is always the weight/performance issues...........

Everyone is talking about the rims? I think this is the first guy to use H&R Springs on a Lancer! That's my next project for the summer.

I'm not a fan of dark rims, but looks good.

I think I want 17s, but driving around my town with 17s + coilovers wouldn't ride to nice .
