My tuning began in the spring of 2010, right after I bought the Lancer. Naturally, my first priority was to get some accessories from the well-researched catalog, including the 19" rims. These were produced specifically for the Lancer – OEM, of course. Back then, a set with Dunlop tires (225/35/19) cost €1800.

The rims are a perfect match for the design of the new Lancer. Later I found out that Mitsubishi released them in three different colors for no apparent reason.

There was anthracite, like the one I had. Dark anthracite and black. You couldn't even tell which one you got from the part number... it was a gamble....

Since I wanted black rims to go with my black Lancer, and this increased the contrast of the rims, I painted them myself in 2013. Because the workshop touched a curb during transport, I had a spare rim to practice on.

Taping everything off was a lot of work, but it totally paid off in the end.

Time passed, and despite being very careful, I still occasionally scraped a curb. Therefore, in 2021 I had the 19" rims refurbished and repainted.
