Coilovers are coming in a week, and I'm looking at new rims if not soon, then after this winter. I like the black/chrome rims on black cars but I bought my rims used and they didn't turn out to be truly black, instead a slightly lighter color. I'm really diggin the bronze on black look and these deep dish rims really looked good to me. What do you guys think? Is "Sport Max Racing" a reputable brand name? (they have the rims in the correct 4x114.3 bolt pattern of course)



And Kav's shot at a photochop



I remember seeing a lancer here with similiar rims but can't seem to find the picture...

 

yea but what offset are those rims, there is no way lancers can get that big of a lip

 

40 mm, that will work just fine correct?

 

depends what size rim and width. this may be helpful

but i can tell you right now your lip will not look like that

 

oh that's true, this is probably a picture of the rim with the biggest lip... like 19x9.5" lol

the rim that will fit our lancer is a 17 x 7" rim

thanks for the links, i'll check them out

 

Not really liking them...
You can never go wrong with Rota!

 

are those "Real Rotas"

 

Sport Max may be a pep boys brand

 

lol yea, they're cheap

I've been looking high and low for a good set of simple bronze rims. I'd love to find some quality bronze 5 or 6 spoke rims. I like the wide, flat spokes of these rims for example, still trying to decide on the deep dish chrome lip...

 

those are jdm. i see the japanese writing.

 

Rota slipstreams are a good option, I had the bronze ones on my lancer and liked them.

 

^I looked up some of your pics and those rims look great, I wonder if I can find some just a bit larger

 

Yeah mine were only 15s, they should come in 17s.

 

I've got 16x7 rota slipstreams. not much rim though. They are tucked in pretty tight.

BTW, rotas are cheap enough, you can get them painted or coated after you buy them.

 

Those are ok... Am I the only one on this forum that doesn't care for rotas
