    I havn't seen a red Evo with black wheels in a good long time around. Alot of cars have black with the red lip, but then again like I said I don't recall seeing a red Evo around here rocking that.

    I believe Bronze wheels would look good. I also like the idea of black wheels with the red lip.

    I love the way the red/black combo works on some cars, and it would work well with evos! I've seen yellow/black, white/black, blue/black combos and they looked great on evos! I would go all black because I think the red stripe is played out but thats me.

    And drop the evo too.

    Life begins at 6000 RPMS.. You will notice an audible change in engine noise, large increase in acceleration and any female passengers will immidiately start to remove their clothing.

    I voted black, but bronze would look really good too. I just absolutely wouldn't do anything involving white.

    Flat black
    Graphite
    Black
    Bronze
    Gold

    *edit*
    Saving as jpeg kills the quality so flat black and gloss black look the same, completely different looking in photoshop!

    there's like 2 red Evos around G'nett with "time attack" rims. Or black rims.

    I say gold. Bronze won't really be the right "shade" for how red your car is.
