Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII RS
I bought this kit on the way home from work. It was an impulse buy.
 Everything looks fine except those cheap looking wheels.  They do not belong on an EVO8. What was Fujimi thinking?      I will start working on the mold lines tonight so the thread belongs here.

In fact on the real thing, Evo RS do come with those rims. By looking at the box, it already show it come with those rims. Never mind, keep it or low down your model with those rim. I think it will look alright...
If not, you have spend some $$$ on a new set of rims again.

Guys, I think the whole point of the steelies in real life was cost cutting.
Mitsubishi figured most people who bought the car would replace the factory alloys with aftermarket rims anyway, so they give you steel wheels, in order to lower the cost of the car. Honda did it with a version of the CTR as well.

Rtuned & Trueno are right, the real RS come with those steel wheels. Here is a picture I found.
 Can you believe that I did not pay attention to the wheels on the box when I bought it? :o I guess it was because I had a long day at work.Those rims have to go. Any recommendations? I have these in mind. Are they good quality? I am asking just to make sure I do not make another mistake buying Fujimi stuff. The car will be painted in gold. Yokohama Advan RG 17in (FUJ19222).

Enkei NT03, OZ Racing Nova, WorkMeister, TE37, Verus EU, RE Amamiya AW-7, Model 5, Kranze Shoki, Advan TCII, Andrew Goltdish, Andrew Racing Dish....etc. These are most of the biggest rim you could find in Fujimi list. I had no idea how's the Work Euroliner SUV look. Or Aoshima Rims mostly fit to your need.

I think the car would look good with some nice 5 Spoke rims :smoka:
Do you want those stock rims? I would be glad to take them off your hands

Thanks for the recommendations.
How do you know how big the rims are? Do manufacturers show it on the box or you have to open the box to know?

Jonno, I am keeping those steel wheels so I can use them on old model cars. They should look good on them.
I am going to get some wheels tomorrow so any ideas/comments are appreciated.
