There's a set of evo7 wheels on buy & sell, I think they'll fit

Evo7 Alloy Wheels, Leinster Co. Dublin £400.00
17 inch, good cond, ?400 087-9252101

There's a pic of an EVO VII in here, not a great angle but it'll give you an idea at least.

There's new evo 8 wheels, sold as second hand on the lancerregister, which should do the job too. Register on the site and get £40stg off per wheel.

I dont think evo wheel's fit the fto..When i was after mine i was told by d+s roe in dublin only the gto,fto and eclipse match on alloy's.

I have a set of 16'' that i kept when i changed to my new one's.I was going to use them for track day's but to be honest i may never use them.If you want u can have them to get off the rim's.There a white six spoke wheel.You may not like but they might do for a while till u get what u want.

They do alright, a few of the guys on FTOOC have bought the Evo VII wheels from that site.

The guys in d+s roe either didn't do their homework or were telling you tall tales, there's a few cars around that have compatible fitments.. there's prob a good list around somewhere, or you can cross reference on one of the tyre/alloy wheel websites but here's a few:

Nissan Skyline (not sure about all models, but std wheels that came with one particular one definately fit)
Nissan 200SX 94>, pre 94 were 4 stud
Mitsi Evo, IV upwards
Mitsi Galant 97>, pre 97 were 4 stud
Mitsi Eclipse & GTO as you say
Ford Probe
Mazda RX7
Mazda 626 and 929, both 88>
A lot of the Lexus have 5x114.3, but the bore is 60.1 instead of 67.1 so not sure how that would work
Toyotas - MR2, Supra, RAV4, have 5x114.3
etc.

Basically most of the japs seem to have 5x114.3 somewhere in their ranges, so there should be a good choice of wheels that'll fit.

Must have been telling me tales so.

The bore is something that can catch a lot of people out - if it is too big then you can get rings that enable the alloy to fit ok - however if the bore is too small then theres no way you'll get the alloy to fit.

I've seen guys put alloys on with the wrong bore and then wonder why they're getting vibrations and handling problems

The Evo alloys will fit ok though.
Thats a nice offer by Danny - Agent S - I'd be taking him up on it if I were you. I had white alloys on my steel silver before - look ok to me.

I have a set of standard GPX alloys if ur interested

To avoid straying off topic I've asked my q on bore here.

That's really decent of you Danny I may take you up on that if I can't find any 17's in the next while! Got to get off the rims! Drives me mad everytime I see my poor baby! Watch this space

[dave100]

Those gold six spokes would look wicked on a black car!

Do those prices include VAT?

[alloywheelsinternational]

these are total prices.
i canot charge VAT on the Goods as yet as i am not Vat registered these are total prices not including shipping.
the wheels are direct replica ofthe Volk style wheels.
if you take the inovite sticker off and replace with volk you would not know the differnce. the only difference is the price!
totals for 18" gold wheels are approx £400 delivered to ireland.
£100 a wheel cant be bad for 18"

[dave100]

very tempting!

I bought a set of Lenso S7s last month but am not overly taken with them

Would u have them in a fitment for an FTO ie 18 x 8 ET 40ish??

[alloywheelsinternational]

we have these wheels not a problem.
almost all the inovit range are ET40 or 42.
which specific ones are you interested in?

[dave100]

super gold 6 spokes with polished rim

Any websites where i can check them against car or do you hav in stock and il call over?

[alloywheelsinternational]

i do not have the wheels in stock but i think you are going for the rite choice as i am taking the chromes off my car and putting the exact wheels on my white baby. i am putting the same wheels only in black with a polishd rim.
i do not know of any sites apart from.
http://www.modifymycar.com/home.html
possibly other people can help me out with car sites to view wheels on car.
if interested pm me or call me.

Ageant S check out this link.......I think the EVO fitment is the same as the FTO, maybe someone can confirm?

AFAIK the EVO fitment is the same. A few of the UK guys have EVO alloys on their FTO's.
