Well, I've waited long enough to get wheels and today seems the right day to get them (there's some good sales going on because of the 4th of july holiday). So I've narrowed it down to 2 options. They're both from ICW (haven't really heard of the company before, but if you have, please post about your experiences) and they both have machined lips. Here are the options, vote which one you like best:

Option 1: ICW Kobe, 17in, Gunmetal



Option 2: ICW Odessa, 17in, gloss black


Both wheels have a load rating of 1815lbs and they weigh 25lbs per wheel. Let me know if they may cause any problems, or if you seen any pics of these wheels on a lancer. BTW: I have a thunder grey lancer
Thanks

 

25 lbs per wheel! You'll be a lot slower! You're adding a lot of weight.

(I know the stock OZs weigh 15 lbs each, and I'd assume that the stock steelies are similar)

 

you know what that means .... I'll have to lose 40lbs myself and get the weight even

 

25 lbs per wheel? no f'ing way man, don't get those, thats ricockulus

 

i'd suggest to adding third category to the poll and letting people give suggestions since it seems no one likes the performance aspects of these..... but if i had to go with one of them i'd choose the Kobe ones. But personally i'd go with some Rotas for a cheaper price.

 

Well, since I can't edit the poll, I'm just gonna say it here, I am open to suggestions. These wheels were around $560 shipped with some H rated all-season tires (can't remember which brand, but not one of the big ones). So if you have any other suggestions as to 17in (or maybe even 16 ?) that would fit that price, or better yet, be even lower, let me know.

I also found some MSR 113 wheels, 17in, gunmetal, at about 21lbs/wheel


Thanks for the help guys !

 

Man...and I though my 15lb 17" Roja's were still heavy.

 

Rota Subzero 17''=$500 17 lb 16''=$450 14 lb

Rota Attack 17''=$550 17 lb

Rota Slipstream 16''=$480 14 lb 17''=$550 17 lb

shipping is free for the Rota wheels

 

^^^wer can u get rota attack?

 

where did you get those price from ? even with that, there's the issue of tires and getting them balanced, and getting lug nuts, that's another $400

 

i wouldnt get any of those wheels, 25lb/wheel is HEAVY. i would suggest some 15" or 16" rota slipstream, or there are many other companies that make some very similar. they are fairly inexpensive, fairly light, and imo they look pretty good.

I already told ya man, Falken Hanabi's or Konig Helium's, both light weight wheels.

 

of the choices you have given i personaly like the Rota Slipstream 16''...i'm a racing heart fan to be honest.

 

Well, I didn't go with either of those 2 choices. I bought some wheels off an evom user. Here's a picture:
