Question Suggestions?

i have the ES 2008 lancer, pretty much brand new, only 2,000 miles and don't want to get new tires. i do want to get new rims, though. so does anybody know of any good 16 rims that would fit? all i can seem to find is 17" or bigger.
thanks

thanks they have a nice selection. just one question, when you put in your make and model and a 16 inch rim selection comes up that means that it will fit with the stock tire on?

Should be...
When in doubt, you can always call tirerack.

Tire Rack has amazing customer service as well as a good return policy if something doesn't fit correctly or look right.

Tire Rack also has the feature to pull up your exact car and color, and try different style wheels on it to get a better idea of what you like or what you thought you might like, and when you see it you realize it looks like crap!

yea thanks guys...i'm looking at some rims now that fit but they seem kinda of cheap (99 dollars). they're sport editions. are there any brands that should be avoided? i mean they're 16 inch but 99 dollars seems too good to be true.

you do understand it probably means 99 by 4 right? It would be 396.

they're kind of heavy...that's probably why they're a little cheaper. A more reputable brand like Advan or Gram Lights makes 19" rims that are equally heavy or lighter.

they look nice enough though.
