Gold Evo 8's or Black HP Evo's? ***Updated - Added Poll***

[fwdmaster]

Evo wheels looks cleaner

WOW! TrboANTsi I have your car saved from wayyy back, especially because the wheels looked so good, I never would have thought they were rpms, sorry to go off topic, still feeling the black hps, i kinda want em in 18" -most likely will get some type of meshies

HP's for sure.

 

[Hideki]

Mine rub in the rear for sure, but I need a stiffer suspension (saving up for Megan coilovers) There's enough clearance, it's just if I hit a bump hard the fender rubs against the tire.

Evo........

 

[GrnZ]

How much are you paying for the HP's if you dont mind me asking?

 

[93_tsi_fwd]

The HP's looks sweet.

What do you guys think about the HP's powdercoated in gold? Just the black spokes btw.

That would probably look decent. But it's probably going be another $100 per wheel to get powdercoated. At that point you might as well start looking at different wheels. I'm just not a fan of those screws or whatever you want to call them. They make the wheel look too busy.

I prefer the Evo 8s but you seem to be leaning towards the HPs. Do whatever makes you happy but it would be hard dumping money into powdercoating unless yuo're really getting a steal on those HPs.

Thanks to everyone for their input and for voting. I ended up getting the HP's. I'll install them today or tomorrow, clean the car and take some pics for you guys.

Just need to lower her a little now. Thinking of getting Illumina's and Prokits, that should do the job.

 

[housegsx]

Your car would look good tinted. Something to match those black wheels.

 

[mitsumikey]

very nice!! get some front views now! I want these, or RPM 505, but right now I m feeling saving the like 4 grand for work VS XX with tires, so I dont copy anyone, and you all can drool over how good they look

 

[BoostedinSoFla]

Tint is the next thing on my list. Stepping into my car after work everyday is like stepping into an oven. The ride is pretty smooth and Toyos are nice and sticky, way better than the stockers I had on there. These were just quick shots I took at work, I'll get better pics later and with some better shots.

 

[housegsx]

Yep, tint helps. I just got my dd tinted and it's much better in the heat. Tint and lowering will make it look great.

Those wheels look similar to my old ones at a glance. Not bad at all.

Looks nice, I would choose something similar like that for when I buy my rims.

Only thing I dont like is the missing center cap in the front two rims.

Hey Mikey here are some more pics. I tried to get better angles and used a better camera.

Shut up John!

I was hoping you would get the Gold EVO 8's, those would look really nice on your car. Honestly I think your car looked better without those rims you have now. Tint and a drop would look nice though and would probably change my mind. Man your paint looks really nice and clean.
