I have a set of stock GST wheels on the beasty, and been iffy on replacing them, and if I do the gsx/gt style look like an awesome replacement, but are the gsx wheels heavier, or any performance cons? let me know and if you have a set of gsx wheels lmk too ;)

Quick search on tuners came up with 22.5 for the GSX wheels.

When I got my GSX I took off the 17" GSX wheels and switched them with the chrome GST wheels that I had on my RS that I was selling. I read a lot of posts about the GSX wheels bending and cracking and that there was even a lawsuit against Mitsubishi about them. I also removed the GSX sticker so with the GST rims its harder for people to tell that its AWD :evilgrin

The GSX rims are nice looking, 17", and I'm almost positive a little lighter than the chrome GST rims.
However, they are pretty weak and bend easily.
