Alright I'm gonna get myself some rims in the summer, and I need some advice on which ones to get. I'm torn between the subzero, grid, and the slipstreams. Ill be getting 16" rims regardless of style. Heres some pics to help. This is the site if you want more info on the wheels http://www.machiii.net/Rota_wheels.html.

I like the first set.

personally i suggest the slipstreams simply because its the lightest rota product on a 16 inch

I'm planning to go with some Rota's as well, prolly gonna order them pretty soon.

Well, I guess it depends on what color rims you want, I want all black so I'm going with the slipstreams over the subzeros cause I like them better. So I guess that should help you pick, but out of your three choices slipstreams and grids look the best, so I would decide between those.

A lot of TG guys say gunmetal w/ polish lip is the best for TG but I say go with what you want, thats why I'm going black for my TG.

Oh yah, just to throw another site at you when your considering to buy your rims, I'm planning to get mine from www.spyeng.com

Yeah I wasn't gonna go gunmetal, was thinking black, steel grey or maybe even bronze.

I wanted to get Subzeros. Too bad they were special order for the OZ model, but you have an ES so you shouldn't have a problem. Would look great on a t-grey Lancer in gunmetal or silver (or gunmetal with a polished lip) imo.

I didn't. But they said they make it, it's just not common enough to do constant runs on the 4x114 tooling, so it would take up to 3 months to get them. I couldn't wait that long (needed to get them for my new size of racing tire for autocross) so I bought the ugly but very functional slipstreams in flat black.

i like the slipstreams but i dunno how they would look on a lancer. anybody have them on their car? color doesn't matter just wanna see how they basically look. BTW, i'm not highjacking the thread, this will help amby.

I didn't check, but since I knew the retailer he didn't ask for the money until he was delivering them. But still, I didn't order them. I went with the slipstreams because he could get those in less than 2 weeks.
