I have a 09' GTS in octane blue. I have just recently bought 4 - 215/45R18 Michelin X-Ice II winter tires that I am going to mount on the factory wheels for the winter. So, between now and spring I want to get some summer wheels for the car. I am going to put the factory Dunlops on the summer wheels I get because they only have 800km on them.

So, basically what I am looking for are pics of what people have got on their cars for rims. I specifically would like to see some octane blue cars with aftermarket rims but all colors are definately welcome, that way I can decide on a finish and general spoke pattern.

Any pics you guys can throw my way is much appreciated. ~~THANKS~~

If you go to tirerack.com you can pick rims and then view them on a lancer to see what they'd look like.

I know, I have tried but it just isn't right. My Lancer is Octane Blue and the tirerack picture really doesn't look anything like the color.

Real pictures look a hundred times better!

But, until people post more pics tirerack is all I have to work with...

Not sure where he got his.... but you can get a rear diffuser from mitsubishiparts.net ($173 us) or RRM ($219 us), maybe others too. There are full rear bumpers with diffusers built in too.
If you just want looks, either of those I mentioned will do. If you want it to be functional then I'd wait for someone like apr to come out with one or get a rear bumper with one built in. I'm hoping apr comes out with one for our cars soon, but I'm considering a AIT C-Weapon Rear Bumper ($256 us) as well.
A functional rear diffuser will reduce drag and lift by slowing the air exiting from under the car. Slower exiting air meets up better with the outside air and the air above the car reducing drag and lift.

Its hard to select wheels looking online...atleast I needed to see them in real before ordering.
Here are my 18'' 15 spoke wheels....


Hi Guys I need some advice : recently I moved from California to Chicago...and I know here I need winter tyres. I'm not sure of my stay here so dont want to spend much on tyres. I drive only on weekends. I ride on Pirelli and I believe they are normal tyres.
Do I really need to get winter tyres to drive on local chicago roads , I can drive carefully and slowly. Please suggest.

I'm not sure if that was a question or something you accidentally posted in someone's thread, but I live in the Chi area and it gets pretty bad in the snow.. I got my 4x4 Montero for the winter, my Lancer ain't touchin snow.

Assassins, you should start a new thread, hijacking another person's thread isn't nice (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

As for any suggestions, 6ft has placed some reviews that you can take a look at.

Regards.

I have been looking around a little bit. I found some Enkei Performance EKM3 - gunmetal finish at tirerack. I think I like them.....

Check out the Photoshop Thread I linked on this thread a couple posts ago, it shows those rims on 3 diff colors. I think they are on of the best looking rims for the price.

I checked out the photoshop stuff but I wasn't sure if they were gunmetal finish or the bright silver paint finish. I think I like the gunmetal though...


" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) " Whats that suppose to mean?? LOL

Those 5 twisted spoke wheels look really different. Kinda flashy... If thats what you like I guess. haha
