I'm wondering if they're even worth attempting to put on... heres the size chart stuff from their website

Size Offset Backside Bolt Pattern Weight
17x7 +42 .. 5 1/2 .. 5x100 ...... 14 lbs.
17x7 +42 .. 5 1/2 .. 4x4.5 ...... 14 lbs.
17x7 +42 .. 5 1/2 .. 5x4.5 ...... 14.3 lbs.
17x7 +42 .. 5 1/2 .. 4x100 ...... 14.3 lbs.

and here's the website http://www.motegiracing.com/wheels/details.asp?parent=50&wheelid=50&name=TRAK_LITE%20Gun%20Metal&style=2381&desc=#

anyone have any info?

first of all, why are you choosing a smaller rim in width than stock ??
For 250.00 each you can purchase several rims like RPF1's or Gramlights which can be found 17x8.5 so you can run wider tires (like 255/40/17's )

[ovenmit331]

well i first started lookin at them because they're so freakin light. anything that light in a better size?

[genrec]

dont they sale motegi at pepboys??? pick something else.

[ovenmit331]

nice used set of SSR comps

BBS LM's

HRE's if you want to break the bank

[ovenmit331]

i've wanted SSR comps for a while but they're frackin expensive. like $450 a wheel...

[Absinthe]

ok then ignore the HRE sugestion.

[KRS333]

Those are nice rims man...

[genrec]

Those are nice rims man...

don't lie to the guy!

[GokuSSJ4]

RPF1 17x8.5 +40 off set around 16lbs (well worth it!) and not expensive compare to other wheels (just in case you bend one at the track :cry: )

[ovenmit331]

anyone have an SSR Comps for sale?

[ovenmit331]

i kinda liked them when i saw them. look pretty nice, but apparently everyone else thinks they suck. heed the advice of the masses in this case, i think.

speaking of which,

pm me if you're interested.

old thread ...I KNOW...

but back to the original question ...will 17x7 +42 offset fit the evo?
...
AND because i know everyone will ask why i would want a smaller wheel. SNOW TIRES. and the shop that does my tires here has a used set for 30/wheel. so naturally, im a little curious.

[j_nizzle]

you should try it...i dont think it will.

and for anyone looking for light wheels...

enkei rpf1's 17x8.5 +30 offset (in silver) or ame tracer tssc 17x9 +35 offset (any color) are probably the lightest cast wheels out there for an evo. both are under 16lbs/wheel

[*chris*]

well i told the guy id stop back in tomorrow after i get off work as he was still pretty busy today to do a test fit. i figured at 30bucks/wheel and if they fit, cant beat that for winter tires.
