GG Evo IX + X MR BBS Wheels - Quick Shots
Wheels are dirty and just used a point and shoot - but I wanted to get some pics up!
Quick info:
Wheels: Evo X MR BBS 18x8.5 +35
Tires: Stock Evo X tires 245/40-18
Suspension: Stock IX Struts + Swift Sports
Brakes: Stock
Compared to stock IX wheels/tires
Offset: 6.35mm more aggressive (distance off hub)
Rolling Diameter: ~1.54% (9.9mm) larger
Will be switching to 255/35-18 Dunlop Z1* rubber probably over the winter.
I'll post shots with a real camera when I get a chance!!!

omg thats exactly what i want on my evo and pretty close to the evo I've always wanted to own. GG MR Se or a white IX RS are my two all time favorites to own. I've been wanting those wheels for a while for my car.

The car is a GG SE (non-MR). The VGs are a CF piece from a company called TiTek that I put on recently.
I meant to do this last night but couldn't find a scale :-\ I do plan to weigh the entire packages eventually to see the overall difference.
Based on some quick searching I *think* the stock IX SE wheels are mid 17lbs and the X MR wheels are ~19lbs.

^^ Swifts have been on for a very long time.
Thanks for the compliments everyone! Hopefully this weekend I'll get some high quality pics up.

I am going to consider powder coating. Black, Gunmetal and Mag Blue would all be considered. Mag Blue would probably be my first choice.
