15 inch 4 x 114 Wheels

So here is my dilema. I have a 97 mitsubishi with EVO III front brakes and GVR4 rotors. The GVR4 rotors are a 4 x 114 bolt pattern and I would rather not have to redrill the Project Mu rotors I have coming so instead I would like to swap out to a Lancer OZ hub in the front and be able to just unpackage the rotors and install them.

The problem I am running into is the the 5zigen FN01R-C wheels which I have do not come in 15 inch with the 4 x 114 bolt pattern. So any ideas on so similar style wheels that come in that specific size and pattern.


Thanks

Mike B

What offset are you looking at, because our stock OZ rallly edition rims are 15" 4x114.3 .

right, i forgot to mention i have to leave the rears at 4x 100 since i have the RPW rear rotor conversion for the mirage. I am looking for a 40mm offseti probably could get away with a 35 though.

hmmm. so your looking for a universal 4 lug pattern (100 and 114.3) that is close in style to the FNO1R-C's.

preferably 15x7? 35-40 offset.

bingo

I have been looking at some options from rota but for anything in a 7 inch wide wheel it becomes pretty limited. Although that isnt to say i dont like the slipstreams or gt3. I was just hoping to keep a similar look to what i have right now which is the fn01rc

you might have to go with some rotas. They are the cleanest looking wheels that will fit your specs and stay on the lighter side and may be universal 4 lug.

heres a search i brought up on wheels next that meets your peramiters. you can take a look at the 5 5 spoke wheels they have listed. I bought my wheels from these guys. easy buy.

well there is actually a couple of choices here.
1. buy a set of blank rotors and sell the ones you have, then drill the 4x100
2. do the hub conversion on the front and rear and buy lancer GSR (4wd turboed lancer) rear brakes (i think they bolt up) plus there is more accesability for parts.

Number 1 is not an option as I am not going to down grade from the Project Mu rotors I already have waiting to go onto the car by getting a set of blanks.

Number 2 definately is a viable option, as long as I can get ahold of a set of GSR hubs but that really isn't the issue.

The issue is finding a good looking light weight wheel that is 15 x 7 w/ 35-40mm offset in a 4 x 114.3 bolt pattern. There are tons of good looking 17 inch wheels but I would like to keep my 15 inch look that I am rockin now.


thanks for the ideas though. Beings that you have a much better chance at finding a set of GSR hubs where you are from, if you ever come across a set could ya send me a pm with the info? Thanks

I found the website for them. Thanks I totally forgot about them. I had talked to them years ago about getting some body pieces for my last Mirage.
