best color wheel for cosmic blue evo?

Really set on rota grids, 18×9.5+20 on stock tires for the moment since I rather buy coils then all new tires. Considering my tires are fine at the second. Anyway anybody have af wheels on their cb?? I cannot find anything online. Thankzz

Best color? You mean from a performance or setup standpoint? As in, which color will provide the least amount of understeer when exiting the Octopus at Thunderbolt? Well black of course. If you are looking for something more aesthetic I suggest the Show and Shine thread.

Before I help with that last part (i.e., move the thread), let me expand upon what John wrote, because not many people know this. What I'm going to tell you is based on years of study, most of which was done watching videos on YouTube (some of which had cars in them; some of which starred Cheech and Chong).

Black wheels might be good for things named after cephalopods, as John suggested, but the back straight at Lyme Rock, with the trees on your left, calls for green, instead, such that an off doesn't ruin the look of the car. More generally, gold wheels enhance longitudinal grip, but increase understeer; ask anyone with a recent STi. Black wheels only work if the tires are slicks, while, in contrast - as it were - white wheels are only good for gravel. Blue wheels should only be used by males who are trying to change the color of one part of their anatomy to something other than blue. (Warning: it rarely works.) Finally, red wheels are a subtle sign that says: "if I were in a bathroom, I'd be tapping my foot on your side of the wall between our stalls."

edit: not that there's anything wrong with that....

Thanks. Given that you like gold wheels on a blue car and I like white wheels on a blue car, both of us are clearly struggling with Scooby Doo issues. If you come up with a cure, please send me a PM.

ps. IMO, Linda Cardellini was a great choice for Velma, but Sarah Michelle Gellar was a terrible Daphne ... I mean, let's be real ... Buffy the Scrappy Doo Slayer?

Honestly gold might look really good on the dark blue. White might be too contrasting. So I'd say gold or gunmetal

I like the gold on blue! Yeah Subaru is def known for their gold on blue, but the blue on theirs cars is quite a bit lighter then the Cosmic.

^^ White looks great as seen above. I think a nice bright silver would look great as well, very clean and classy.
