I have a 06 Es Lancer with 4x114.3 bolt pattern. And I'm looking for some wheels that arn't to pricey (not $200.00 each).
I was looking at these rims and thought to myself if anyone has had experience with these brands or rims, if they could give me a few pointers.

With... Sizing (17 too big?) and Style (makes the car look...etc)


Enkei FLC-01 (17x7)


Kosei K1 TS (17x7)


Drag DR-33 (17x7)


Drag DR-34




Thanks Mates

Can only speak for the Kosei's. Has been quite popular with the Lancer crowd. Sold many for street and track use as they tend to be quite light and durable. Call me if interested.

I have Motegi MR7's 17x7 with 205/45/zr17 rubber and I love them they are mint and no rubbing

Thanks for the input. I'll keep you in close mind.

Your lancer looks sweet with those rims and (depo?) tail lights. Nice job, and i was thinking of that rim as well, but we'll see.

Thanks, Tails are some ebay specials but they look good I like them. I plan on getting some depo projector headlights and swapping my HID's I have now into those, that will be after my turbo is all in and working good

If you're nearly stock then 17s are too big. You'll lose so much torque it wont be funny. Jumping from 14s to 17s is way too much extra rotating mass, and they might look a little overdone on an ES. You could probably get away with 16s and still look stylish.

I think my 03 es looks good there with 17s and I can spin them dry pavement no prob and I am bone stock (for about another 2 weeks lol) However I dont know what one feels like with stock rims as mine came with 18s when I got it. Anyways mine gets up and goes pretty good still and I have gotten compliments on the few I have let drive it on how snappy it is. Just my $.02

Kosei all the way. They are light for 17 inches. Made in Japan also.

4g94T - Thanks for the vote of confidence on the KOSEI brand.

03lances - 18's are huge, glad you got those sweet 17".

lancerguy0208 - Yes I know 17" are a bit big and totaly agree with what your saying, and was thinking on getting any of the above (and more) in 16" if made. Plus you would have more tire on your wheels than the 17" or 18".
