Default evo x wheels

anyone know anything about the new evo bbs's

clearly they are bbs's but they are nice. I like the finish and pattern. I mean I have always been a bbs LM kinda guy or Work VSxx but these are nice. Dont even want to imagine what pricing would be on these but anyone know anything about the lug pattern on a Evo X and if it would even mount up.
just wondering.
thanx

I have no clue either. They look sick, but are probably pretty heavy and in way too low of an offset.

the finish looks so much better. do a search the flash destroyed the finish. but it was the best angle to show the whole wheel and not the car that i found.

The wheel is 19", some form of BBS RS, and looks like the common BBS color called Diamond Black.

^...and they won't be that heavy compared to some of the crap people are rolling with. A forged, lightweight BBS wheel versus whatever is a pretty good option.

Don't the Evo's have a lower offset wheel than the STI? I always thought that was the issue with getting their wheels on our cars.

I could be wrong, but I think w/ the 8/9 evos the hub diameter was an a issue.

I think you are correct. Hubcentric for EVO is 67.1/ STI 56.1 and offsets are different.

older evo wheels fit with hub rings,these shouldn't be a problem. 5x114.3. yes the offset is low

Actually, the Prototype X had 20's on it, the MR will have 18's. I believe them both to be Diamond Black Clear, but that's about all I can find.

I really like those also. I think they would look hot in Gold on a white STi
