The Elven Rings weren't evil - BUT...
They were made with the intention to bring about & preserve as far as possible what the Elves considered to be a perfect state. Where nothing can die, or change, or follow its natural path, live according to its nature, unless that corresponded with the desires of the wielders of the Rings.

The Rings weren't evil. But they weren't very 'safe', either. They enabled the Elves to indulge a 'dangerous' aspect of their nature, & it would have been better if they hadn't been made, & the Elves had accepted their destiny at the end of the first age & returned to Valinor.
