Hey Guys Looking to put a new set of rims on the Evo because the tires on the car are actually winters. I'm so used to having a red car with black rims... that now owning a black car is making it hard for me to decide on the style, lol. I can either buy a package (wheel + tire) or keep the stock wheels and mount them on another set of tires, then buy steelies or something to mount on the current wheels. Heres the current Some options I kinda like after searching through the first few pages of the Evo board. I think I like the bronze look in #5 Thoughts? 1) 2) 3) 4) 5)

TE37's WILL be my next major purchase, and the Evo Enkeis will be demoted to full time track wheel when I do. I just powdered a set for a customer, 18's and man, they are SOFAKING LIGHT!!! Worth EVERY PENNY. I wouldnt regret a purchase of a quality rim. Dont cheap out. Save until you get something PROPER.
You will be into 2K for a new set with shipping and tax, but theres quite a few used sets out there. New or used, as long as they are straight, your not to worry with a quality purchase like these wheels.
Enkei makes a good light weight 18 forged as well. Just powdered a set of NT03's, and MAN ARE THEY LIGHT as well.
Again, save up and just spend the money ONCE.

#3 is showing BLACK TE37's, (or are those Gram Lights??) but on a black car, Im not a fan of black rims on black cars MOST OF THE TIME. I LOVE black rims, but GOLD on a black car is better.

The evox gsr factory wheel is 18x8.5 +38 5x114.3 mm bp and weigh 22 lbs. OE tire size looks to be 245/40/18. So that's your base to work off. I'm seeing guys running 255's and stupid light weight wheels make me uber jealous lol Check this out; http://www.evoxforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2464

Wheels to me are like a pair of shoes. You'll never just own one pair, and they're seasonal. So over the course of your ownership with the evo, you'll likely have run through a few sets like I have with my eclipse. And not a chance in hell I'd paint my car red. Black, white or black

20' rims looks pretty goofy, but the 19' rims look pretty nice.

Save up for TE37's. I was torn between these and RPF1's. I ended up going with RPF1's because I've always wanted a set.
On your EVO, TE37's would look slick. As for color, I like bronze wheels on black cars.
If you were open to other rims, I had a nice set of BBS LM's that would have looked awesome. The size was all wrong though.
I'd also have to agree with Rob's advice, DON'T BUY KNOCKOFF WHEELS!

EVO's are for girls. Sell it and buy something nice.
Seriously, you could but wooden rims on it and it would still be sweet.

If you want to replace them at the end of the summer than go for it.
