| Does anyone know whether the wheels (stock 14 inch) off a new (2001) lancer will fit on a TE onwards gem? |

Nice 
I've been thinking what kinda wheels to put on my Gemi, and I know I want 7" wide wheels, but I'm not too fussed about appearance.
I do want them to be tough (not necessarily look tough).
Haven't really thought about the diametre though, but 17's look too big for my taste. Would 15's be too small? Probly want to run a 50's or less profile.
Oh yeah, they have to be cheap Or a popular wheel (so maybe a trip to the wreckers can turn something up).
Thanks |

hamal, i got my set of wheels from the wreckers for $120, and are 15"x6.5" off a lancer too. shop around the wreckers mate. these one's just needed a balance, and a bit of hammer work to know out the dings...dodge but they do the job. running 50 series tyres won't through out your speedo too much/at all either.
my wheels are at: www.hotgemini.com/cgi-bin/gallery2.cgi?action=sv&vid=250
thanks, greg. |

| Yeah, but what about the offset? Do I need spacers or not? |
