I personally prefer 15s especially for small cars like the Lancer, i've seen a lot of sport compact cars in the Philippines this past summer and majority of them run 15s and dropped...looks GREAT considering the size and proper tire size and drop. Anything over 17s look GHETTO anyways.

I'd go with the rims. Probably wouldn't do much good for header alone without the intake/exhaust too? And any rim is probably fine, even the cheapies. The tires are probably more important than the rims anyway. Lightweight rim + sticky tire = badassness. I'm looking for gold 16s.

I'd go rims. Header won't do much. Rims are always going to look good, and if you're smart enough to buy some that perform well, they're going to improve the handling of your car by a lot.

Good Rim / Tyres are by far the best upgrade someone can do bang for buck.... Followed by a Turbo... Followed by an Type-R Sticker.

I like how me mentioned about do what you like. I have seen so many people change rims becasue there friends didn't like them. Who cares what other think as long as the person driving it likes it. Your the ones that has to drive it everyday

I have searched, but have been unable to find the answer to my question. I drive a 2004 lancer OZ rally lowered on Eibach pro springs. My current tire and wheel size is 205/45/17. I will be going to a set of 16" rims in the spring, but am looking for a set of winter/snow tires for the 17" rims. I was wondering if anyone knows if I would be able to run a 205/50/17 tire with my current suspension setup?. I have checked the measurements and there is only .70 of an inch difference in my current tire size and the larger 50 series. I am sorry to ask such a basic question but the 50 series winter tires are much cheaper, and more readily available than 45 series. Thank you for any help you can send my way.

The 50 series tire you're talking about would make a noticeable difference with your speedometer/odometer. As for rubbing, I couldn't tell you, but I'm sure if it doesn't rub, it would be close.

I am not too concerned about the speedometer, because I will only be using these wheels for the winter. The rubbing is my major worry.
