Evo1-3 RS wheels?

[EvoOne]

Hi guys
Has anyone ever seen a set of original RS steelies?

Would the be the same size/offset as the standard E1-3 alloys?

Never held one, but the brochures do not list a different size between the gsr and RS models.

They are the same- 15x6. MB681669 Type 'E' is the part number

Thanks Clutz. Would love to see someone with a "factory fresh" RS including steelies. Would be one rare beast.

Hi EvoOne, I stumbled across this old post but I had a set of OEM RS 15" steelies on my Evo 1 back in the day which I used mainly for training days. I think I picked them up from Ralliart Perth back in the 90's. We used to call them 'pursuit rims' because they looked similar to rims on police pursuit vehicles here in WA.

Reminds of the what we knew as "chasers" back in the day.
All the bogans would put them on their Commodores on a Friday night and do skids!

Awesome! Still have them?

True! I remember seeing new VS "cop" spec Commodores sitting on the lots at my local dealer

Maybe he's trying to add value by making it a "barn find"!
