    Those wheels also came stock on some ES V6's and the LS.

    I got the evo rims in my sig for $350 with good tires. You just have to take your time when looking, if you rush you will end up paying more.

    Will these fit without any hub centric rings/spacers etc? (the evo rims in your sig) Which generation Evo is it? Otherwise, I was looking at Eclipse wheels from 2007 17inch ones. Do I need any rings/spacers for those? Which lugs would you recommend?

    The lug pattern on a G is 114.3mm I believe, 5 lug. If the rims are off a Mitsu they should fit no problems. I had 18" rims off an 07 eclipse and had to get smaller tires otherwise they hit the suspension, looks better without the balloons too. Not sure about the 17" rims, but you might not have to get low profile tires to make it fit.

    If your talking about njjfudges rims they look like they are off an Evo 8.

    Mitsubishi to Mitsubishi (EVO/Eclipse/Outlander...etc to Galant) they'll bolt right up without hubcentric rings. That said, the tires on a 2007 4th Generation Eclipse are too large for 2003 and OLDER Galants. 2004 - Present Mitsubishi Galant's will use identical size tires and wheels.
