Hey, My new Enkei OR52's 17x7 anthracite/polished lip wrapped in toyo proxes 4's 205/40/17 offset of I think 42. Few pictures I just took today after I decided to install them. In the mail is Seibon cf trunk and cerious full cf evo VIII wing. Ill show pix once they are on as well in prob 2 weeks.

I am going to get cf reflectors and black out my headlights as well. Dont worry about my wheel gap. Susp is next thing im working on. any input would be wonderful.

 

I love the color of your car, wheels look amazing with that combination. I'd love to have red, but insurance gets higher for teens and red cars, well for me and my mom's insurance company anyway. I think blacked out headlights would look awesome as well as the CF trunk, either the blacked out headlights or the Cedia lamps off eBay.

Oh, how do you think 17in black Motegi TrakLites would look on a Diamond White Lancer? Plan on going carbon hood and trunk and Cedia lamps also.

 

I think they would look great.
Yeh, im 19 and even on my moms insurance with a clean record I pay out 2k a year.

 

I like those wheels... you need a li'l drop!

 

The wheels look great man!! It should all come together nicely when it's done. What kind of suspension are you going with??? I wouldn't do springs if I were you, save up the moolah and get the basic Tein setup for $700 or so. I wish that is what I would have done, lol.

correct! haha. Im saving up for Tein Basics. not even gonna mess with springs. Tein susp, strut bars, better sway. are my next mods. along with what I stated up there.

 

How much did you pay for the wheels and tires, total? Just curious to see pricing because I'm really diggin those and might actually bite your style. Well maybe not, but just out of curiousity?

 

along with that, how much did it cost to get tires put on, and the wheel/tire on your car? and your tire size? i got some enkei 17x7 and idk what size tires to get. my offset is 40, what yours? nice look btw.

 

I pm'ed both of you that info. tires are 205/40/17 I think offset is 42.

 

Paint that silver mesh!! car looks good, you'll like tein basics too, take it from me

 

Get rid of those orange reflectors...

 

I stated in first post Im in the process of doing that. thanks for the input. on the idea of painting the mesh. Ive toyed with the idea and will probably paint it black once it gets warmer.

 

btw... since you have bigger rims, it affects the speedometer a lil bit.

how did u manage to adjust the speedometer to accomodate to bigger wheel size, tire size, etc? or did u leave it so the speedo is off by a few mph?

 

didnt effect it at all, with the tire size I picked its almost exactly the same diameter. I basically decreased tire height by 2 inches and increased wheel size 2 inches....

 

17x7 doesn't effect our cars...it's the next best rim size. 0% off from speedometer. Nice rims mitzuozboi...i should know .

Let me know how the Toyo Proxes work for you...I gotta get me some new tires too. Also where'd you buy the rims for? And if so how much?
