Maybe a polished lip on black wheels?

I wanted over 300whp from my daily driver, and that wasn't happening from the WRX unless I upgraded a lot of things, with the Evo it's cheap and easy. Even with an STI I would have had to worry about things like upgrading the fuel, turbo, and intercooler once I got to a little over 300whp. Lastly, the handling on the Evo is just a little better and sharper than the STI.
I like they way you explained it. I'm surprised that the EVO handles better. You would think that a AWD/RWD combo would perform better over the AWD/FWD based. I do value your opinion, you tell like it is. I can't wait for the EVO X, I hope I'm not let down..

I like Evo's.. too bad they don't have them in Canada. 
But I'm also not a big fan of that blue... maybe its the light or something. I like deep, dark blues. Even the winning blue is not as deep as I'd like it to be. But nonetheless, its a beeauutiful car. Have fun with it!

It's been raining, snowing, gloomy here nonstop so I got fedup and went and found the first lit parking lot late on a rainy foggy night. Plus I suck at using my digital cam, I'm pretty good with my SLR but when it comes time to use my digital in anything but good light I suck

I had the screwy shot with the lights going crazy so I decided to mess with it and I made it look worse and accidentally replaced the original with that...
Totally confuzzled...

Nice car. But yeah, I have to agree that the wheels aren't good. If you had some standard silver wheels (whatever they call that finish? Like our stock wheels have...) it would look VERY nice. Congrats again on the purchase!

Already have the stock Enkeis in "that finish". I was going to use them for trackdays but now that I see the inside edge of the tires I'm considering picking up another set of Bronze or Gunmetal wheels for summer/trackdays since these wheels have my allseasons on em. Regardless, I still like the matte black wheels on the car, to each their own.

I do like that color, but it wouldn't be my favorite for the Evo. It's definately different which is a big plus, though. I personally don't like the black wheels against that body color -- looks like you're running 4 spare tires. A few chrome accents on the body and some brushed aluminum rims or something like the stock RX-8 rims would really look nice IMO. Keep the wing -- Evo's look weird without them.
Awesome car in general though. Try not to smoke every RX-8 you see. If we ever hear a "kill story" about an RX-8 beating a blue Evo we'll know it was you being generous.
