Hi, I work as a wheel designer for a well-known wheel manufacturer and I'm coming out with a new line of wheels. I want to get fellow Evo owners opinions on sizes and fitments for their cars. And this means totally from scratch, you aren't restricted by what's currently out there. :) So if you could have any size, width and offset for your car for that perfect fitment, what would you guys like?

I jsut did I get the feeling he is looking for something like 17x9.5 35mm off set not 305 which could be fit on different rim with ranges depoending on if you went 17, 18 or 19"

13" Dayton style wheels that clear both the stock Brembos and Stoptechs. 13x6 with 1" backspacing. It has to have both 5x114.3 and 4x100 lug patterns because the cross-platformness will raise the resale value. Oh...and it has to be titanium...because rotating mass sucks.

We should all have skateboard cars with dingle balls.

lol, dude, I think our brake package is about that size. But seriously, it does need to be realistic.. The titanium wheel idea does sound pretty badass. Russia does have all these titanium hulled subs lying around decomissioned that are waiting to be scrapped... :wink:

I'd say a spoke pattern like new BBS wheels on the Evo MR, in coated gunmetal running a sexy 17x8.5 with a +40 offset so they fit on my scooby =P Oh yea, make em weigh 12 lbs each. =P
