yea. I"m kinda leaning toward the oz 's just for the mere fact they are really light. I got all these from tirerack.com

I wish the zinik were lighter...I'd pick them up in a second

IMHO I would go with the oz's. More of a simple design not to be just nice wheels but for people to say nice wheels, and then say nice car as well ;)

I voted for Zinik, because i think its spokes matches the body outlines of the Lancer. I saw a full SUV whose wheel's spokes are so thin, It just looks so ugly, Just my $.02 though.

I personally like the Zinik more, just because of the polished lip

Why let other people make a decision like that for you. If you like them both then all you have to do is decide what you want, performance or looks. In my opinion the OZ's are the only way to go between those two wheels but I value performance very highly.

Yeah but I'm not paying for his car or his wheels. The decision needs to be made by the owner so everyday when they see their car they're like "Damn she's beautiful". I'm not the best tuner on the planet but there's a lot of people out there with no sense of style, functionality or cohesiveness. Maybe I'm just an arrogant **** but that's the way I feel. There are some people with style but theres a lot more without it.

Here's your car with both wheels installed...you can now decide who's the fairest of the two... ;)

OZ >>(IMG:http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y102/bm981/lancergts08-oz.png)

ZINIK >>(IMG:http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y102/bm981/lancergts08-zinik.png)

They are both nice but the OZ are light and that's good for performance and looks pretty nice.

I hace a white gts thinking of getting black like those rims myself.
