Does anyone have part numbers for the different style wheels that came with the 380.

10 spoke GT, 5 spoke VRX, SX, ES, etc.

I know they changed a bit from 2005 to 2008.

Mine is a 2007 series III ES that came with the following 17 inch wheels:

Mitsubishi parts dept at a Mitsubishi dealer insists this car came with 16 inch alloys and that the wheels have been swapped.

I know that isn't the case. Does anyone know the part number for that wheel.

Failing that could someone with that wheel post a VIN so I can get them to check again.

I wouldn't mind the 10 spoke wheel either so if anyone knows the part number or has a VIN to a car with them as standard that would be great.

Going to ring MMAL tomorrow and see if they can help with part numbers since dealer wont assist me.

Thanks.

Found part number for:

5 spoke wheel: 4250B092

Cost: $330-360 approx depending on dealer.


Also I don't think there was a 10 spoke factory wheel as has been mentioned in here in the past. Most is an 8 spoke like on the GT.

The ES S3 came fitted from factory with these ones (a 16"):

The one's in your pic were only fitted to the series 3 SX.

I have seen a few series 3 ES around with the same wheels as mine and I had read somewhere that Mitsubishi were upgrading for free to17inch wheels on release of series 3 for the ES.

It seems that many series 3 SX on carsales appear to have 17 inch wheels but the specs for them all say 16inch.

Maybe they did a wheel swap on mine to get a sale on the showroom floor. I should logically just buy a second hand set of the SX wheels and cherry pick the best of them for my car and get a alloy spare from it too.

I can pick up a brand new set of Verada 17inch wheels for $160 a rim. They aren't a bad looking wheel but not sure what they would look like on a 380.

I like the 380 a lot and got one with under 50,000km on it. It drives well but it was a repairable write off in 2009 and since then had the same owner. Maybe the wheels got switched out then. I don't exactly have buyers regret but maybe I should have waited for a low km SX , VRX or GT. I paid so little for this car I figured I could hardly go wrong.

Thanks for the information about the SX wheels.

I have one damaged wheel and was going to replace it and get a spare alloy instead of the steel spare, so wanted to buy 2 wheels. Maybe I should just get the 16inch since that is what is on the tyre placard.

Anyone know if you can you still get tyre placards for 17 inch wheels from Mitsubishi btw?

Series 3 Sports (which was an ES with additions) came with the six spoke 17x7 alloys - and the tyre placard inside my driver's door says so too.


The limited edition ES Sports model carried the same price as the regular ES but additionally comes with a rear wing, 17-inch alloys, sports suspension, a sunroof and Bluetooth phone connectivity.

With these features on top of the latest ES additions of traction control and fog lamps, as well as the already standard climate control air-conditioning, ABS, dual front and side airbags, power windows and mirrors, remote central locking, cruise control and powered driver’s seat, the ES Sports comes with a staggering level of equipment for $28,990.

My 380 Series 3 GT had 8-spoke wheels (would post them in "For Sale, except I'm not up to 50 posts yet - at the rate I post, I'll eligible by about this time next year!) - VIN is 6MMDB4X417T024221
