  • Texas Made

    Ive never done a build thread in any of the forums that i frequently visit so decided to finally make one. My daily driver is a 05' Lancer, ive had the car for quite some time and it has gone thru a lot of change from when i first got it. I do have big plans for it in the future and i intend to keep this car. Its my pride and joy and even though i dont have the funds to dump everything i want into it since im a full time college student, when the funds do present themselves i always spend the cash to make her look nice....

    so enough talk now time for pictures

    Here's my car with its first wheel set up and 4x4 status even though it was on lowering springs


    Rims are enkei J-Speed 17x7.5 on 205/50 had that set up for a couple of months, sold them and got some Enkei 92's 15x8 +25 on 195/50




    Had that setup for about a year and than i finally saved up enough to buy some coilovers =) bye bye 4x4



    Eventually i got bored with the black and silver theme and wanted to go a different route so i plastidipped the wheels white....









    Had that setup for awhile as well but i wanted something unique and wanted my car to stand out form the rest so i was on the hunt for new wheels. at first i wanted the new varrstoen t3's( ccw classic reps) but when i called to pre-order they were already out of stock and i wasnt gonna wait another 2 months so i happened to come up some Stance Encore's. When i bought them they had barely been released about three weeks before so i was excited to know that not many ppl would be rocking these so i went ahead and bought them about a month and a half ago so they are still kinda new. Over all im pretty happy with the progress of my car and hope to finish her up by the time i finish up with school

    and now here is my car as it sits now
    Stance Encore 16x8 +26 wrapped in Yokahoma s-drives 195/40

    -BC Racing Coilovers
    -Replica Evo 8/9 MR rear bumber
    -Evo 8/9 Trunk lip spoiler
    -RRM front lip
    -Ralliart Side skirts

      Looks pretty good for a non-Evo.

        In two minds about it, i think the first wheels suited better, but neither suit the car all that well.

          Agreed. I feel a car like this needs bigger wheels for sure.


          Damnit man!

            I appreciate the compliments and feed back from you guys! As far as the wheels being not suited for the car, I like to have stuff that other ppl do not have or do not wish to even think to put on a lancer but that's just my own taste. And I don't think I would step up to a bigger size wheel bc many other lancer have 17's n 18's on coilovers and they still look lifted and to me it just looks awkward and to big on these little cars.

              The 16's are perfect IMO. The arches already look small as they are.

                the 16s look great. How was removing the plastidip from those wheels ?

                  I actually didn't remove it, I sold them as is and the guy said he was gonna remove it himself but I'm assuming it was a headache to get all of it from between the basketweave

                        Thanks bro, I think when everything is said and done it would look more aggressive. Hopefully by the end of this year it will be complete
