Well I've come to the tough decision that I need to sell these babys. I bought these a while back and love them, but unfortunately my wife and I are going to be a little more stretched then I thought in the near future. This housing market is horrible. I absolutely love the rims, and they'll look amazing on the 08+ Lancers or Evo 8 & 9, however I'll admit that you'll need a pretty low stance to get the fitment right for the lancer. Unfortunately, I have already discovered that these WILL NOT fit an EvoX, there is just not enough clearance for the massive Brembos.

The rims are in great condition. They are all in perfect condition with the exception of one minor/light curbage. No bends or cracks, simply straight as new. The curbage is not bad at all, it is about 6inches long. You really don't notice it unless your within two feet of the rim. I’ve talked with a couple tire guys and their recommendation was that if I were to carefully sand it, it would no longer be noticeable. But to be honest, you really can't see it unless your two feet away. The rims new cost $1400 , (lowest I’ve seen online recently in this size is $330 each) and the tires were $220 each. So the entire setup was over $2,200 new.

Rims / Tires are ready to roll and come with Center Caps and the 5zigen metal valve stems. I have a set of scratched up blue lugs that will come with them, however a regular socket works on them (which is good cause I can’t find the Key). I also have a brand new set of 5zigen special locking lugs which are rare and hard to find. I got them through a friend straight from Japan. These are Blue Extended Open lugs. They cost a pretty penny so I won’t part gently with them, cause if I can trade for rims locally, then they'll be used for the new rims.

Asking $1,100 obo. Not in a hurry, I can wait. We are moving in a few months, and if anything, I’ll take them with us cause they will be easier to sell in California. So for you California guys, they should be in the Inland Empire area about mid May. But for now I'm trying to get them sold locally here in MN. I am open to trades (both 17" and 18" rims), but I can't afford to drop anymore into them, and I would like to get some cash out of the deal. But of course I will entertain any offers for other rims or anything else for that matter.

PM me or email me at newemi@msn.com if your interested. - Mike

I have three questions:

1) Did you have any issues with rubbing?
2) Did you roll your rear fenders?
3) How much does each wheel/tire combo weigh?

1) No rubbing issues.
2) Rear fender roll depending on drop. (Teins yes)
3) IDK, I'll have to check but as I recall they are pretty similar, maybe lighter the the 18" GTS/RA rims.
