Honest opinions! Hows my progress? XD

It's the 2015 Mitsubishi Mirage Pearl White with the CVT. So far I've replaced factory wheels for aftermarket Katana 16x7 offset of 40 & Federal SS 195/45/R16, 20% Tint all way around, and a few decals here n there (planning on removing them)


I'm looking to replace the rotors for some drilled/slotted ones and get the car lowered about inch n half.. If you know where I can get these things post a link for me, that'll be much appreciated!

Those wheels look nice! Thanks for posting the photos.

What are your plans for the old wheels? Also, what changes do you notice? Other members have said a new set of wheels makes a big difference in handling. What about fuel economy?

Again, thanks.

[NotoriousJT]

Thank you! The old wheels are in storage for just winter only and I'll use these rims for just sprint/summer time. I did notice a huge difference in handling. The car is more firm to the road, especially around corners. With the wider wheel size (going from 4.5" to 6" wide) actually makes a definite difference for driving. And also fuel economy for me was still in the 40s, the wheels didn't affect much.

Those wheels are a nice match for the car. Looks great!

Nice! I really want rims like that. I have been looking at bronze Konigs that look similar.

Looking great! I've also got a white one, so I'm glad to see that style of wheel on there.

Over the past 9 months, I went from OEM springs to full Amazon cheapies, swapped just the rears
back to OEM's, swapped in some VW rears that were too firm so swapped back to OEM again, and
finally bit the bullet and ordered a full set of Eibachs which I highly recommend over any
combination of the previous springs. I've only been on them a week and wish I'd just gone with them
to begin with. The stance will be dropped but level though, so if you prefer a bit of a rake in the
back order some rubber spacers for the rear at the same time.

Love the tint; I really think it makes the white pop in contrast... gotta get on that. So many things,
not enough time. xD

Part number for the set is E10-60-017-01-22. I got mine from Germany on eBay.

Haha thanks man. Yeah tint really made it a lot better. My next goal is to get either a roof rack next or lowering springs. May do the lowering springs first.

Yes one million times for the Eibach springs!

The car looks good. The tire size is perfect and you should not have any type of issues with rubbing. I have the car lowered with Eibach springs and 195/45/16 tires. I had 4 adults in the car just yesterday and it did not have any issues.

Looks excellent! Kind of wish they had shipped me a white mirage, but I at least got my second pick. Those wheels give the car some excellent proportion.
