Ok guys im pretty new to the scene and new to the car modding stuff but keen and eager and with everyone's favorite time of the year coming up (Tax) im considering some new boots for my lancer. i want 18's and probably something in a matt black, that will tie in with future mods well for example coil overs are in the mix for the next 12 months so im not entirely sure how that will effect my selection if at all at this stage and i think the matt black rims will tie in nicely with lime green/electric green calipers;) ive been searching through Beaurepairs online catalouge but im more of a person who needs to physically see them ! tell me what you all think? links/pics etc!

For your own reference here she is with the stock 16's http://i.imgur.com/x1SFNhd.jpg

Wheels are all about personal preference - what you like someone might hate. You also need to factor in how you want the car to look.
For example, if you plan on going down the "hellaflush" sort of route, very very careful considerations must be made so that you can fit wide, low offset wheels under the guards, and then coilovers to prevent the tyres smashing the guards.

Specifics i cannot tell you, as i dont have a CJ, but read read and read more and you'll get some ideas going. I think we do have a thread or two on here on what would fit XX vehical, or an explanation of wheel sizes and how it effects everything else, or if not, just chuck up a thread in the General section of the forum and im sure everyone will chime in with the info you need :)

Indeed thanks, il read up and probably going into some tyre shops ask their opionions also :)
 
The CJ VRX rims are 18" and will fit no worries, also no dramas when you lower the car. You can get them painted matte black if you want as well.

diameter is only one consideration, if getting the CJ VRX 18" rims then they will fit, but not all 18" rims will (which you know rigby, but your comment made it seem otherwise). you have to factor in width, and offset as well as tyre size fitted to the rim to determine whether it will fit.
