    Hello fellow lancer enthusiast my name is Nuni and I'm from Puerto Rico (via Conn), I recently purchased an 09 wicked white lancer DE and I'm loving it. My first mod is going to be getting some rims on it. I'm thinking about getting 20's cause I don't like small looking wheels. Do any of you think it is too big? I was told by a shop here that they've installed 4 lancers already with 20's with no problems whatsoever. What do u guys think?

    Welcome!! You could go 20s but with the GTS models having 18s I guess that's just what I'm used to seeing :p

    Get Tenzo GF-7s!! :D

    Wow they look hot!! Never saw those Tenzo's before...
    I was thinking of going with a solid color though, preferably bronze. Those do look tight though are you packing those rims on your lancer?

    Yeah those are the ones I plan on getting ;)

    Bronze woud look pretty sweet with the WW. There's sooooo much out there for rims, I'm sure you won't have a problem finding something :)

    Saludos hermano!

    I would NEVER go with 20s on a lancer... it just doens tmake sense.. if you arent planning on dropping the car, i would suggest going with 19s max... if you wanna drop it, 18s are perfect... this is my car with a 2 inch drop all around...

    Thanks for the warm welcome ppl, ektor thanks for the info I think I'll go with 19's and eibach pro kit then. How good do Teins measure up to eibachs? I used to have a sportline set on a CR-X I once owned.
