Hey Girls/guys thinking of buying new new wheels for the Evo. Have looked at many but I think I'm liking the AME Tracer. What do you guys think?

Its hard to decide with so many nice wheels available. I was also thinking of wrapping them with some Nitto Invos or Kuhmo KU36

the tracers look very nice, for that kinda money you could also be in the ball park for wheels like works meisters or one of my personal favourites, the CCW LM5T

i might be wrong but when my friend was buying wheels, he was told tracers had brake clearance problems with the evo brakes. and would need a small spacer to fit. cant remember if its only on the CT9A or not so best test fit before you buy.

Thanks guys should be ok for brakes +22 9.5 rim and I have heard a lot of the time attack cars run them! I have the MR brakes so I will take the car to check! Danny I haven't seen the CCW wheels but I'll take a look now!

Similar wheels to mine but I got the cheaper ones with 5 spokes not 6.

Still while I like the stock VRX ones it's good to have something different to stand out a bit.

Looks awesome love the silver against the White. So many wheels fit these cars that's half the problem! To much choice. I'm excited now I might go buy them this weekend . Haha

Tha White evo is amazing, owned by a nice gent in the usa
On my 18x9.5 +15 rpf-1's
I am running 245/40/18 currently only because I was using up the tyres off of my stock bbs's
I have some 255/40/18 toyo proxes going on tomorrow,
Will probably end up with 265's eventually,
The +22 on the tracers should be perfect and sit flush, really wanted To go AME's but picked up my enkeis for 1k delivered, hard to beat really.

Same I was looking at the 255/40R18 but in some Nitto Invo's. Flush is what I'm looking for.

Good wheel choice, those where on my hit list when I was shopping for some rims. Hard to pick a rim when offset isn't an issue for the X

Go 265/35 on the Invos
