did you take this picture off a cell cam?

I don't get how it's a performance upgrade...slower accel...poorer braking...handling I assume doesn't change (unless you're talking about the tires?)

SLVROZ_03 May 12, 2007 06:39 AM

I like them, cuz I actually considered them too! But I don't see how handling improved, unless you had bald tires and them got these with excellent grip. 15s are about the perfect size for performance, handling, etc etc...

i got those in 17's very heavy and yes you can feel the slower acceleration... not worth it IMO.

mitsuozboi May 12, 2007 05:06 PM

the tires is what helped the handling. Better response due to the stiffer sidewall. The wheels made you slower as has been mentioned.

Im personally not a huge fan of those wheels. Need some better pics.

nice wheels...

erbi55 May 12, 2007 06:45 PM

yeah unfortunately i did use a camera phone...lol it handles better than my stock oz's...im thinking its beause it grips more so it gives me better control...im not really a racer...i just like my ride to look clean{thumbup} so i dont mind the 18's

toobig.

I had 18s before and that car did look good, but was a little sluggish. The handling is the stiffer sidewall as mitsuozboi metioned and the fact that thos being 18 are probably 7.5-8" wide and thus a wider tires which will grip better than the stock 15s.

bene May 13, 2007 12:30 PM

what kind of tires did u put on them?

lancerman360 May 13, 2007 03:36 PM

Looks good man.


btw, my 18's handle way better than any 15" tire I have been through. Wider tire width and stiffer sidewall than stock. Slower, yes but not on the corners....but who cares....its a lancer. If you want fast get something else.

^ Exactly! LOL
