Finally made my rim choice...

I am going with the retro Evo look, with a set of Enkei RPM2s in hyperblack. I need to mount race tires on the stock rims, so the stock Advans will go on these for daily use. I just can't find a better looking rim for the price ($900 delivered from Discount Tire) and fitment (Enkei's site says they work on the Evo).

Besides, I really like hyperblack, and too many anime films and console games have the style stuck in my head...

those are one of my choices for wheels, I checked at discount tire and they dont have them for ls/oz lancers. are you getting them 900 delivered with or without tires? did you have to email them because the evolution isnt under their listing when you go search

Just ordered them, and they will come with hubcentric rings. The weight, per Enkei's site, is 17.6 pounds for the 17 by 8" 35mm offset I am getting, which is the same size as stock. I called in the order just to make sure everything was kosher and in stock.

The Enkei table is here, not sure what bolt pattern a normal Lancer uses though: http://www.enkei.com/highperformance/rpm2.htm

Pics will happen late Thursday, as the rims are due in on Wednesday. Big issue in my mind is whether the 255/40 V700s will clear everything on the stock rims...
