Either some OEM mesh wheel or a BBS knockoff, they look OEM though, I I've seen Evo 7/8/9's with a mesh style factory wheel similar or identical to these, but that was overseas, I'm going with OEM mitsu wheels for my guess. What are they?

[Jeffylou87]

They look like evo x wheels.. but not..

[greddy]

^I thought that too for a while, but these look like 17 x 8's and the finish and spoke pattern is different on the X.

[HungarianHunter]

They look pretty nice

[4g63lover]

they are EVO VII wheels. positive!!!

if not they're replicas.

[RedGalant2k1]

Judging by the Mitsubishi emblem I'd say they are OEM EVO wheels., nice pickup!

[02redgalant]

im surprised none of the evo guys bidded for them on ebay.....i got a real good deal considering there not sold in the U.S..always loved these wheels tho when i first saw them on Gran Turismo 3

[9G]

haha nice. i got a new set of mr bbs from ebay and sold one for the price for the set. lol.

[02redgalant]

smart man lol....wish i could of got x mr bbs to fit those X brembos because apparently there larger then the 7,8,9 evo's

[9G]

just a little bit larger.

[spdracr]

so how much did you pay for those, if you dont mind me asking

[Rayth]

good find

[GAgalant_319]

nice pick up bro

[02redgalant]

I have question I went and got them mounted and balanced friday...before I put them on they had sticky weights on the inside 2 sets one on the inside closes to the car(theres a groove and its flat you can see it in the pictures) and one closest to the mesh...well when he balanced and I noticed he only put on a set of weights ON the groove closest to the car instead of the flat portion and no weight by the mesh...I have a feeling he balanced them wrong.... steering wheel is oscilating at 45 and up....vibrations/oscillating noise from the front end.. is my feeling right I find it strange he only put one set of weights ?

[platano]

man i wish i could wake up...and find some wheels just "laying in my room".

[dknight3]

take it back to the shop.

[Goku]

I wish I could run these on my car.... but I can't put anything bigger than a 215 on it due to the rear bumper mount cutting into anything 225 or wider :(

I'll just have to make do with my Evo 6 wheels instead :D

[qnz]

not sure if those wheels are hub centric, but did you buy hubcentric rings for those? that may be the cause of the oscilations

[02redgalant]

take it back to the shop.
yea..

not sure if those wheels are hub centric, but did you buy hubcentric rings for those? that may be the cause of the oscilations

I would think since there Oem I wouldn't need it..is any one here with evo wheels running hub rings?

Get them rebalanced, they only static balanced the wheels. This is one thing that perturbs me quite a bit about most shops. It is a completely stupid and useless form of balancing and should be completely discarded as anything useful. Make sure when they rebalance them (if you go to the same shop) they dynamic balance them using sticky weights.

And also make sure they properly measure and setup the wheel for the proper dynamic balancing also. What I mean by that is the wheel width that they put in the balancing machine should be the width between where the weights are placed on the wheel. One should be on the inside lip, and one should be just behind the wheels spokes (like from the factory as you had before).

Any other type of balancing is useless, if they say it is adequate ask for a refund, and your car keys. Then tell them they are absolutely insane and do not know how to properly service your automobile. Tell them to call me and I can inform them on how to properly setup and balance automotive tires and wheels.

P.S. Mitsubishi wheels are all the same hub bore, you won't need hub rings.

[02redgalant]

Just the answer I was looking for Thanks Dave!

[ricky_db]

yea! bust some balls theyll act rite lol

I have the same problem. However, it occurs with all the sets of my wheels in the same wheel. Its in the right rear wheel. When I drive at 65mph + it starts to vibrate. I was told it could be the hub bearing. I don't want to replace it if I didn't have to. In addition, to the weights I have mine placed behind the spokes on the wheel itself nothing on the edge of the back. So correct me if I am wrong this is improper? If true, I say Sears sucks at balancing in my area.

[Dragon-and-his-mitsubishi]

If its the bearing not working well, you will hear it, when you jack up the car and turn the wheel - hub will make noices...

Yea its improper there should be two sets of weights one inner and one outer...good test to check if the bearing is bad is moving it and also pushing and pulling on the wheel usually at 9 o clock and 3... or 12 and 6...your looking for any type of play which there shouldnt be.

Ok I will check it out and let yall know what it is.

Yes, the weights should be as close as possible to the outermost portions of the wheel.

The bearing may not make noise, but it could be loose causing his issue.

road force it.
