I need to get 17 inch winter rims for this bad boy.

I was thinking of getting these, hoping for a yellow Lancer Ralliart look.

The bolt pattern, size, and offset is perfect for the K4.

Is white + yellow a dumb idea? Should I go with matte silver instead like the trim pieces? I'm really struggling to picture it for some reason, but I feel like satin white wheels on a popping colour would work.

EDIT: I've received a lot of excellent suggestions, but I do have some criterion:

  • Must be winter approved (salt / brine resistant coating)
  • Must be 17x7.5 or 17x8
  • Must have an offset of roughly +42mm (7.5 inch width)
  • Must have a lug pattern of 5x114.3 with a centre bore of at least 67.1
  • Must be available for sale in Quebec
  • Must be under $250 CAD per wheel before taxes

For reference, my stock rims are 18x8 with a +56 offset.

EDIT 2: I think I've decided on getting the 720 Form FF6 after comments mentioning similar looking wheels, a lower spoke count and thicker spokes. I'm willing to stretch my budget for them, especially since they are flow formed and higher quality than the Dai I was originally looking at. I'm still sold on the white since I couldn't find a matte silver rim that fit my taste and budget.

I will pull the trigger tomorrow morning. Let me know if you have more comments. Thanks all!

EDIT 3: Can't make up my mind lmao. I inquired with a local shop about getting some light gray Sparco rims. See comments.

Silver might work? At least there's some silver trim too.

But does it matter with the snow?

I actually did find the matte silver sold and shipped in Canada!

I think it matches the silver trim basically perfectly. I will ceramic coat them before putting them on. It doesn't scream as much, and it doesn't look cheap or tacky. You said the white clashes with the black wheel arches, and after consideration, I agree.

EDIT: wrong lug nut pattern, but the correct pattern does exist as SPAR-W29047504LG. I asked a local seller if they could source a set of four.

We do get some clear days, but otherwise the entire car becomes gray with road salt 😅
