Both are nice wheels, I have the EVO's but I would go with the HPR5 they look like a nice piece and they would look good on black. Also I fear the EVO's are becoming the next TTII's.

I have EVO 19X9.5, I have pilot sport 275 /30 all around.
If i had to do it again, i would get 295/30 in the back (yes on a 9.5) and 265/35 in the front. By the way i have eibach sport. Evo`s have an incredible lip... you would love them.
By the way, i have bilstein HD, all considered the ride is not harsh at all...
