I've had these wheels sitting in my dining room since summer, finally got them on the car a couple months ago. Axis Oldskools 15x8 +25 offset. Knock off JDM y0!! They make the car dramatically more stable in hard corners, and much more grip even for these cheap tires.

Scored a used Momo Prototipo on ebay, and got a half inch spacer for it, and picked up a new shift knob. Love the feel of the wheel, especally since adding the spacer.

I'm very happy with how the car's looking and handling these days. Sorry no top down photos. Sadly with all this weather I don't think i've had the top down since october...im a :cat: when it comes to cold weather.

Next up, im looking for a set of black seatbelts, I hate the tan belts, and im looking for a used roll bar. That and working out a few noises, think I have a wheel bearing going out and think the driveshaft is making noise, probably the u-joints going out. This is the last of the pretty stuff for awhile.

One more photo that wouldn't fit.

It's an OEM knob from a 2009 Lancer Ralliart. You can get them off ebay but they're pricey. Around $79 shipped. My wife got it for me for Christmas. I don't have the link now as ebay is blocked at work, but I can send it to you later.

Only problem, while the threads fit, I assumed that it was just like the Evo knob that screws right on, I didn't realize that the Ralliart lancer was a manumatic only, so the knob is a little differrent. It's the same thread diameter and pitch but the threads only go up halfway in the shaft so I had to do a little drilling and tapping to make it go the rest of the way. Im looking for a boot that will match the white stitching.

It actually used to be an anus!

This is how it was when I bought the car, someone actually did this to the poor car. I tried to think of ways to make it better but then I just removed it all together and put a stock exhaust back on. I never got around to filling the hole, but you can't really see it from a normal perspective.

I know, BAM! was saying they were your old wheels and he used to have them at his apartment. Funny thing is the boxes they came in I think were the boxes from BAM!'s old XXR sportmax.

I think i'll hang on to them for awhile, i've taken them in to a good loving home ;)



Thanks for the comments guys.
