Swapped out Evo VIII Wheels for some IX's!

Picked up a set of IX's today and swapped out my VIII's. I purchased the Evo with about 9,000 miles on it and the original owner had put Pirelli P6 All-Seasons on the wheels. I am assuming he was having issues driving in the snow with the stock tires. Anyways, I still have the Pirellis on the new wheels now.

I paid 400 cash and did a local pick up in Chicago. I think it was a good deal. I've always liked these wheels better than the VIII's.

I like the look of the VIIIs better but the IX are lighter and for $400 bucks you cant go wrong.

The funny part is how my friend who doesn't own an Evo told me I was getting ripped off...What a moron. He doesn't even know how much a full set costs with tires!!!

ripped off? Each wheel from mitsu is well over $800, and you paid $400 for the set.

So I am looking to sell all 4 of my 8's now. One of them is 2 months old because it had to get replaced. The other 3 have been on the car for what is just now 20K miles and are in good condition. Does anyone have any idea how much I should try to sell these for?

They look good for sure. But i like the evo 8 rims better than the IX rims. And i have a IX. I have ssr wheels on it,but i didnt put them on just because i didnt like the stock rims.I was changing them anyway. Your car looks great with them,not putting them down in any way.
