I think these wheels look fantastic on the X because the many spokes make them look more fullbodied, matching the Evo's body. I know they are a little heavy, but I won't be using my Evo on the track much so it is not the end of the world.

First off, I would love to see pics of these. Especially on the WW X, but anything goes. There is one thread here with some decent pictures, but I haven't been able to find much else.

Also, I'd like some input on my planned wheel setup. I live in CO and we get a lot of snow, I'll also be using the Evo to go up in the mountains skiing. I've heard that the stock ADVAN tires are phenomenal on dry/wet surfaces under summer temps, but terrible for anything near freezing. Clearly I need snow tires, and I think I will buy a set of Blizzak LM25s that fit the stock wheels on the evo, and have that as my wintersetup.

Then I was planning on getting the ZR+520s and wrap them in the stock ADVAN tires as a summer setup. Is this a good idea? Or is it a far better idea to get the 520s in 9.5 and get a new set of tires for them? I'm just trying to save some money on tires.

One last question: Is 19" wheels a bad idea on the X? I will not be lowering mine as I need it capable of dealing with some snow (plus I think I'll be getting one with the Aero kit). Does 19s yield a much rougher ride?


Thanks for all help and info here!!

Have you checked 5zigens homepage? They have some pictures with the X and the wheels.

As for snow, go with coilovers so you can adjust it a little in the wintertime. maybe som smaller wheels. Not to many wintertires come in the 18" and 19" and second of all they are expensive

Hmm I wasn't planning on going for coilovers at all..
The LM-25s come in a size that fits the stock X rims. I am now trying to decide on what wheels to get, and it is not easy. So far I have been debating between 5Zigen ProRacer ZR+520 and Work's new XC8s. Work has a deal going on on those for free lugs.

Any other advice you guys wanna give me, feel free!!
