Because its always a pain in the backside to find the correct info, here it is in whatever colours.

Pre-facelift: 16"x6" Offset 46mm
Facelift: 16"x6.5" Offset 38mm

This means that the facelift wheels actually have 2mm extra clearance on the inside and stick out an extra 14mm. No wonder they look better on the car /Hmmm

These were read off the wheels last night. Found that the wheels are also branded enkei. (both sets)

Weren't both of them Enkei? I think I remember seeing Enkei on the prefacelifts.

Just thought I'd update this post with the stock EVO mags:

EVO 6 17x7.5" Offset 38mm Weight 9.5kg Made by OZ
EVO 7 17"x8" Offset 38mm Weight 10.1kg Made by Enkei
EVO 8 17"x8" Offset 38mm Weight 9.3kg Made by Enkei
EVO 9 17"x8" Offset 38mm Weight 9.1kg Made by Enkei

On my car I found that the EVO 7 mags with 235/45/17 tyres clear the inner suspension arm by about 5mm, so you wouldn't want to go with a much lower offset than 38mm for 17x8" mags

updated my post with the EVO wheels, can someone make this a sticky, it seems as if we can't go a week without someone asking offset questions.
