    The rims are currently... graphite w/inner black w/silver lip. So do I keep them the way they are... or paint them black with no lip or black w/red lip again? Torn between the 3.

    Thanks Nevin!

    It shares resemblence to the Evo X. Thank you for your opinion.

    I want aftermarket rims, just can't afford them. Gold/Bronze... eh I don't like it. I've seen it on a locals car.

    Meaning... the outer face of the rim black and the inner red?

    If so, I may have to photoshop that to see how it looks.

    damn, alotta people with the evo-esque grill, lol. i thought when i had the idea it would be original, guess not, o well. haha

    anyway, i like them as is with the silver lip.

    i also like the black face with colored inner as pictured above, looks good in person. but i would still vote SOLID color with silver lip.

    I always liked the look of that. Seen it on a OB down south. Looks great indeed. I don't think I have the patience to do something like that. The heat out here in FL is killer right now.

    The Evo X style is spreading quick lol. Gives the front a whole new look. So far only a few have done it.

    I keep looking at the rims and keep thinking I should stick with the graphite w/silver lip as no one has it that I'm aware of.

    I just found out someone locally has the black w/red lip... not cool. I was the only one around here with it... then changed because I thought someone was going to copy.

    Painting them a solid black would just be like every other Flame Red SRT-4 out here.

    Thanks Chase! Thank you for the suggestion/opinion.

    Thank you for the suggestion/opinion!

    I went on the website and they are a bit pricey. Atleast the wheel packages for the SRT-4. I don't have that kind of money for rims/tires at this time. One of our dogs got really sick and the vet bill was off the chart. Thank you for the suggestion!

    I like the graphite with the silver lip. The silver looks like white sometimes in the different lighting in person.
