OK, so here they are. I finally got them delivered and installed. 18 inch R1 GTR rims with 215/35/18 rubber. Yes I know, I still need to lower it, but im poor for now, so Ill have to wait until I save up enough or find a killer deal on some coilovers.
MORE PICS
Thats what im thinking. Not too "gold" and dark enough to still contrast with the bright yellow paint. Should be nice. Plus its a pretty bad *** style as well. I like em in black too, but ALOT of peopl ehave black on theirs already.

They are R-1 Racing GTR-4 wheels. I actually ordered the 18 X 7.5 with 225/40/18 instead of the 17" wheels. Mostly because ill also be putting on an evo body kit, IF i ever get a price quote email back from Accolade...?
Speaking of lowering, what springs do you fellas recommend for a 1-2" drop that wont be too stiff?

Not sure if you want around 2" drop with 18s, but the way to go is Tein Full Coilovers - springs will kill your stock struts. I've been on springs for about 2yrs now and still haven't replaced the stock shocks, i feel every bump.Originally Posted by captainobvious

NICE.. congrats on the purchase.. i have a '03 Lancer ES and am planning on throwing some 18x7.5s on it.. cant wait to see them on ur ride..

uhm . . i hope you have wheel spacers or something b/c 225's are gonna be a tight *** fit, from what i know 215's tend to rub.

18's on 225's and a drop will be tight. Dont go springs. Get some coilovers. Ive found Ksport pros to be a great set-up (from what ive read) and a lot cheaper then Teins. Thats what im goin with soon.
