when you say 17x7 does the 7 correspond to a specific mm offset or something? im clueless bare with me. thanks

That would be how wide the rim is in inches (not including the lip) the first number is the height and the second number is the width. So you're quoting a 17" high rim that is 7" wide.

yes maybe to the track.........but also...the us lancer is a fatass! and i wanna lose as much weight as possible.....i was actually looking into some Rota Slips....but i dont think those would look to good on a lancer specially the rio red.....although i would have the JDM spoon look!
