Aight so check it out......i wana buy me some wheels and tires for my car...

problem?


I have a fully stock Rio Red 02 Lancer ES....... and i dont know what kinda wheels would look good on it.

I was wondering if maybe you guys could help me out. i wanna get some wheels that are lightweight and still look badass on the Rio Red color. and as far as springs go im thinking of getting the TEINS but i have no clue on where to get them. i just want the springs.


So in short im looking for some lightweight rims that are at max 17's i want either 15's or 16's or 17's and im looking to spend up to 800 dollars wheels and tires, and i want them to be lightweight (no chrome) can you guys help me out?


thanks in advance

 

I would Suggest 17" Gunmetal rims, or Black Rims with a Chrome Lip.

You will need to buy hub center's and different lugs. Your Bolt Pattern is 4X100.

Tein-s springs will not work on your car because it is an ES but there are other springs on the market that are designed for your car.

Hope this helped.

 

okay so i checked around and found these......





there the 5zigen Copses 17x7.5 and they are 4x100 34, 43mm



so can anyone tell me if this offset will be right and what is the 34 for in the middle?


also does anyone know if these are good or not and if they are lightweight and the big one



will they look good on my rio red lancer???

 

these are the SSR comps




i think these are pretty badass... i would like the 16x7 they weigh only 11 lbs but are 300 each.... worth it?

 

Both of those would look nice. I personally like the 2nd of the 2 the best

 

yo dude do you know what the offset of a ES is?? this offset **** confuses me.... im seeing all these sized and dont know ****! but i think im gonna g with the SSR 16x7 for 300 bucks each but there only 11 lbs

 

No sorry I dont. You will ahve to run a search for that one.

 

You want 38 or 40mm offset, 17x7.5 max. Safest is 17x7. Mine that I'm putting on thursday are 17x7 38mm. They are gonna look sweeet.

And if those wheels are 300 each, don't waste your money. Mine are HOT and chrome and only 125 a piece. And the 2 you showed are pretty boring dude, but hey. Everyone else gets them, so if you want them go for it. It's your car after all.

 

LoL I hate giving this thread a bump, and this might be slightly off topic, but why is it the US Lancer crowd has so many "wheel emergencies" and the like? What's with the "Help! Please!" are your wheels about to fall off or something?

 

I was wondering the same thing. I was also wondering why people ask others what they like... it's YOUR car, not their's. Get what you like.

 

The SSR Comp is definitely one of the lightest and strongest wheels we carry. They do come with a price though. If that's a bit out of your range, the Kosei K1-TS is an inexpensive lightweight wheel. Available in silver, light grey, and orange.

 

11 lb for a 16x7 is great for racing. Popular rim in autocross and track events. Anyway, steer clear of that 43mm offset rim, you will probably rub the inside. Go for a 7" width and a 40mm offset.

 

i got a question while we are at it...
when you say 17x7 does the 7 correspond to a specific mm offset or something? im clueless bare with me. thanks

 

i have forgotten eactly how much tehy weigh but it is a considerable amount. also waht do you want lightweight rims for? you going to be taking it to the track ro what?

 

i think the are around 18 or 19 lbs i knew the exact weight at one point cuz i wanted them. they are sharp bud
