18s are hardly racing rims either, especially on a lancer.

 

i love them

 

I'm sure you do, I'm just saying they're not racing rims especially on a lancer. 15s or 16s are better for actual racing.

 

i am just saying this they work for me and everyone on the track that i talked to said that they are good to run on my car do to the fact i have no tire roll so i am useing all of my tire and not the side wall

 

The big problem is the weight, and the size. Lancers in anything but turboed form (and even in most cases anything but stage 2 turboed form) simply don't have the power to turn large rims as easily as they can smaller rims. This is magnified when you have a large diameter rim where the weight is held further away from the source of power. As an exercise in this, take a 5lb weight and hold it close to your body. You should find its easy. Now take that weight and hold it at full arms length. You'll find you simply can't maintain it for long. The same holds true of a car. Tire roll really isn't that big of an issue, plenty of people have noted that they've actually had greater success in terms of autocross using 15s than they did using 17s. If you really want to get into racing, I would suggest buying a set of smaller rims, if not just for the track. Can always drive around on the street with the 18s if you want that bling look.

 

18 '' will stay do to they weight less then the oem

 

eh,...whatever floats yer boat, but amby has a good point. thats why I went with 15's for my 04.

 

It doesn't matter what the raw weight is. Again think of the example I described. You can probably hold 20 lbs close to your body easier than you can 5 lbs at full stretch away from your body. Weight is only half the story, the actual size is a huge contributor to the problem.

 

looks good hope you faired better then i did today... hopefully ill post some pics up soon

 

whats up with the paint?

 

i ran better on my rims did a guy that was out there withe the stock ones

 

looking for a sponser, OMG are u retarded, and how hell man get a sway bar, why did u even try that.

 

base line the car so i would see the problem so i can correct them

 

Amby's right actually.
What sux tho, is that 18s look better on the car than a 15" or 16" wheels, cus they fill the space. Smaller wheels usually look too small for the car once you have a kit and all, so it kinda appears... ehhh I dunno, just "not right" IMHO.

 

the car did realy good in it class i was 3-4 sec off the leader i think that wasr ealy good for this car beng in stock class setup but like i sayed i know what i need to fix now so i can be faster next time the 18s did realy well on the car i had a lot of under stear but some guy came ofer and helped me with that by takeing the toe out on the front a little and it did help over all i am happy with the car the way it ran everyone in my class was surprised it did so well in stock form the main thing i want sponsor ship for the parts and to help them sale there part what is the need for me to be sponsored by someone if i already have the parts on y car and all see my point the pic rep what i am doing with the car and where i want it to go
i am willing to push car to the line everytime i go onto the track
