What wheels on your evol?

[mrprotocols]

Sup everyone, I am looking to buy some wheels for my 05 EVO, and thinking about the Volk Racing Te37 or Advan Model 6. What do you guys think about these wheel? What wheel do you have on your Evol?

[garrick70]

I have the super sporty stock wheels!! :mrgreen:

[V8KiLL3R]

same here the more sportier super stock rims! :P

[MarkSAE]

I love the TE37s on the EVO. Too bad they're so damn expensive and sought after by thieves.

Yeah, I am actually in love with the LE37s (gunmetal with polished lip), but will probably get the Enkei RPF1s for the incredible weight savings and cost.

[kimmievo]

I would love to get some Volks eventually, but I am gonna go the cheaper route for now and get some Rota Torques in hyper black. Hopefully sometime next year...sigh.

Just ordered some Kosei K-1 TS (http://www.tirerack.com/servlet/CallJsp?target=runWheelSearch&initialPartNumber=TS140S&sizeIndex=0&wheelIndex=1&autoMake=Mitsubishi&autoModel=Lancer+Evolution&autoYear=2003&autoModClar=&showRear=no&email=Y) in 17x8, wrapped in Pirelli PZero Corsa 255/40-17 R-comp tires. The Koseis are reasonably priced at $239 each and weigh only 15.5 lbs. The Pirellis--on special at TireRack--are a steal at $128 each.

Hey Goku,

I did not know that the RPF1s were available in a 17X8.5!! I thought they only came in 8 or 9" wide?? Do you recommend the 17X8.5 over the 17x9??

with the 17x9 for the off set that i need, you dont clear the front calipers :( besides 17x8.5 are more then enough for 255's and even 275 tires :D

Volk TE37 for me :D

[r6bruin]

FN01R-C!

[vtluu]

I decided the 17x8 Koseis were just a hair too narrow for 255 tires, so I just ordered the 17x8.5 Enkei RPF1s, 30mm offset.

Me too! I think that would look good on my T-blk?

Who did you order yours from Tam?

[wilson1]

I think he ordered it from GruppeS

[xchoirboy]

they carrie Kosei wheels?

Tam the man said it's from tirerack

[vtluu]

they carrie Kosei wheels?
I don't think so; TireRack has a sweet deal going though, you get free centering rings and free lugnuts to go with the wheels. And if you get tires in the same order, free mount & balance. Shipping is pretty reasonable too from their Nevada warehouse. The Enkeis were slightly cheaper but I have to buy centering rings and lugs separately.

[lancerboy]

super stock enkei's but i'm planning to get a chrome 22" spinner :D

[rexorz]

18" gold ssr type c

[mrprotocols]

What size and offset should I pick for a 18"?

18x7.5: 44, 48

18x8 5: 44, 48, 49

[vtluu]

You sure about that? The SSR Comps I just got (17x8.5) came with offset 30, and I'd say there's maybe 6-8mm of clearance before they get a bit close to the caliper. I'm sure you'd need spacers with offsets above 40.

Opps, I copy and pasted from a website =(..

Okay, what is a good size and offset for a 18" volk racing wheel? hehe =)..

Gotta bring this thread back from the dead... do you have pics of the 57S on your car? Are they the 57S-Pro?

[hphan]

The stock BBS MR rims look nice.......and very rally like too. Anyone know how much each rim weighs?

[gOt BoOsT]

i'm ridin' stockers...bbs stockers :wink: (17.4lbs)

[gOt BoOsT]

DAMN hphan...blondie gots back :wink:

[kimmievo]

kinda funny, i was looking at my post from back in Dec. saying how I was gonna go the cheaper route with the Rota's.... the Volks got the best of me anyways, couldn't resist lol!

[hphan]

Just for my knowledge, how light are Volks anyway? Like the CE28N?

:jawdrop: Then why are these rims so light when they are much cheaper than the Volks and the BBS MR rims? Sheet metal? LOL...j/k.

[Matz]

How about the Kazera KZ-Vs? Anyone running these? Couldn't find info here when searching. I'm wondering if they are poor quality wheels.

http://www.tirerack.com/images/wheels/kazera/swap/kazera_kz_v_cg_ci3_l.jpg

Wouldn't mind the look of these rims as long as the center cap is removable... fugly.

I would rather get the Gram Lights 57S-Pro, but for some reason, the Tire Rack doesn't have them listed under the Evo... so maybe they don't carry those rims. They have the Kazeras, but they also aren't listed, so maybe they don't have the right offset in stock?

Thanks!!! DAMN those rims look good... hmm... very tempting as much as I've always said that I want my car to look *completely* stock.

I am riding with RacingHart J8 19"x8.5" on 235x19x35 BFGoodrich KDW.

19" plus 35s is the same exact height as stock rim and tire.
