    Yo peoples, been scopin' out the boards for several hours now and I'm lovin all the info. I picked up an electric blue gts back in December and I'm ready to put some new wheels on her. I was wondering if I could get some feed back on three options I'm lookin at...

    Number One
    Moda MD2 w/Black Accent

    Two
    MSW Type 12

    And Three
    Zinik Z18 Minardi

    Now I've seen tons of wheels similar to the Minardis on Lancers but have read that some ppl arent into having a lip on anything but a black car and as for the other two... well, can't say that I've seen many 5 pointed star designs floatin around so I'm not sure if the look is played out or better suited for something else... i keep leaning towards to md2s tho.. hehe

    any thoughts or suggestions?

    hey there's no hurry and feedback was all I was lookin for. I haven't pulled the tigger on anything yet.. lol

    the only thing dictating what I do is $$$$. Can't spend $500+ on each wheel. other than that I'm looking at all the options... well, besides gold or bronze...

    I've got and electric blue gts too, and it's tough to put black or gunmetal on this color, IMO. Anything with alloy or silver seem to look sharper on the blue.

    to spiderfan, lancergts, and the tax guy:

    Thats why i wanted to post here and get feedback.. i was all over the
    place before and could have gone with any of them!

    I'm definitely not set on any one of the three and I certainly don't wanna spend my dough on wheels that don't look their best or look like vomit 8O

    have any pix of your rides?

    of the three there, definitely the first of them.
    the second one is tacky as hell, and the third.. meh.

    I will have to go with majority here. Keep looking.
    The ones you showed arent the WORST, but keep looking and i'm sure you'll find the one you like.
    As for $$$$, you shouldnt have to spend $500/wheel. I spent $1000 for a set of 4 in 18's. So, you can get them for a decent price.

    Silver/Chrome might be a little too flashy for my tastes, but I suppose it all depends upon the wheel.Anthracite maybe? I'm just gonna keep looking. Hopefully something will turn up. Thanks for the input!

    I'm not rushing into anything here... will take my time looking. Thats about what I'm lookin to spend (at the most) for all wheels.

    What type did you pick up?

    OK. Ready for round 2. Got a few more options and I think I'm getting a better feel for the wheel relationship with the body color of the car.

    My Lancer deserves nice looking wheels and by God, I'm going to find some.
