I need an impartial opinion here because I can't decide between which set of rims to go for.

I've pretty much narrowed it down to RPF1's for the EVO, but I don't know if I should get the black finish, or SBC.

I'll upload a picture of the car so you can get an idea of what I'm working with.

Both look awesome on the cars I've seen, but I can't decide. I can get either color, I just need help making a decision.

Any advice is welcome!

Thanks in advance.

I'd say matt black but both are really nice finishes. The choice is ultimately yours.

RFP1s is a fine choice. If SBC means Bronze then I vote no to both of your colour choices wink Classic silver looks best IMO

Your Evo is red, right? SBC and Matte Black will both look good, but what about gold? Not a typical colour for a red car but I think it will look awesome.

Oh, and Scott Neville's car would be a perfect example of factory red with gold. Red Plymouth Laser Gold Edition w. Gold Rims. Maybe he can throw up a pic or two.

Thanks for all the help guys. Might as well lock it up, SBC (Special Brilliant Coating) has been discontinued! frown

Gold on black works, sometimes on white as well. That's about it

Rob, I'll be coming up to see you and Mike with my calipers.

I never considered gold, but that would look sick!

RPF1's are everywhere, though luckly there aren't a lot of Evos in Canada so you're ok there.

My buddy has Rota G-force on his Evo in Hyper Black, which is pretty damn close to black chrome powder. I think it looks pretty damn good.

Or go all out on a set of bronze Volk's tongue
