I don't know a lot about car history, so I was wondering:
When the EVO and the STI were both in their golden age, or between the very best EVO and the very best STI, which reigned supreme. Not as a rally car but as an enthusiast car?

i would say that the most enthusiast oriented evo and sti were the evo 6 tommi makinen edition and the 22b sti

What rims are those? I see them a lot on jap cars.

but out of the best EVO and best STI which one was "better", or have they always been neck and neck?

OP here, no fuckin idea
>>17771076
they have been neck and neck for a long time but in recent times i would say the sti has the competitive edge because of better funding
subaru devotes more funding to their sti division and the current sti is a lot better than the now defunct evo

Don't know anything about the Japanese market, but in the U.S. the Evo was generally regarded as more hardcore and/or high-power oriented. Evo's could either be impressive on twistys or built to dominate the 1/4 mile.
STis were very popular too, but with a slightly different mindset. They were viewed as generally more off-road capable and rugged. The motors weren't as easy to make crazy HP numbers and they retained value a little better for a while.
So,
Evo = supreme performance
STi = supreme DD
It's honestly very difficult to choose between the 2 for me. My heart wants the Evo, but I think the STi is a really kick ass car too.
Toyota. Also fuck you not as a rally car.

In terms of pure performance? Evo has always been better. The evo 8 fq400 and the evo 10 fq 440, which has the highest specific output of any turbo charged petrol piston car, perform better than sti's on tracks and in lap times

in wrc, the evo 6 would destroy the sti, but once it got to the 7th gen it sucked, and the 2nd gen impreza was a lot better
Turn in was always better on the evo. The sti is an understeering pig if you don't trailbrake or whip out your left foot.
