Can't decide on rims

This is for a rally red Evo IX MR. Here are the three choices. First is all black 17x8 from tirerack for $500. Second is black with red lip 17x8 from dragwheels for $500. Third is black with red lip 18x8 from glinewheels for $450. The third is biggest and also cheapest.
Keeping my stock rims is not an option, they're broken.

#2 is actually also my favorite design, but with new tires they're gonna be $750 or $800
#3 is gonna come out to $650 total with new tires as a package deal, and they're also 18's, which is pretty nice. Bigger and cheaper by atleast $100

i love the bbs wheels, but i bought the car with aftermarket silver rims, and i dont like silver on red, not to mention 2 of them are now broken and tires are bald, so need a whole new set. To buy bbs will be way more expensive

IMO The red stripe thing is played out. I'd go with #1.

I say find another set to give us more options.

I dont care for any of them. you have an evo, get a nice wheel that fits the car. All those wheels are something I would expect to see on some teenagers civic. Somewhere they got them for 699 shipped with a cheap set of tires. LOL

+1. I'm sorry but he's right. You have an Evo...you gotta treat her right.

If you're on a budget i suggest you getting some Rotas.
