Black would look good on a silver EVO.

600 for each rim????
that means 600 x 4 = 2400 total cost?
am I missing something?

anyway, just browse through show & shine forums...personally, I think gun metal with polished lip or black + polished lip looks best on silver

You can get almost anything you want at that price. The stock wheels are really high priced. If they tore up 2 of your stockers you could get a set of Work Emotion KAI's for that price and a set of gunmetals would look hot.
But then again, asking what wheels you should get is like asking what toilet paper to use, everyone has their fave.

if you are getting 600 for each, go buy some new volks or get some used rims and tires and keep the stockers for winter...
