Sebring Silver. I am considering the Hypersilver wheel should compliment the car color pretty good.

They're becoming a very popular wheel style. IMO, i would look into some without the rivets. I think they just look cheesy.

They look great on every car i've seen as long as its lowered, just don't look right at stock height.

Nice looking wheel, though I don't know why anyone would run the narrower front width on an f-body.

Thanks guys. I looked him up and he actually has the RPM 505's. I would look at those but they only come in the 9" width and I'm looking for a staggered look. I wish someone would make a 10.5 wheel with correct offset in a mesh style wheel without costing $650 a piece or more.
Thanks again for everyones help.

Because most people feel that a huge lip on the front looks retarded... and they are right

I don't know about retarded but I think this is just a personal thing. I do like having a smaller lip on the front.

Nope, no issues at all. FWIW the summitomo tires run narrow. I'd suggest getting a different brand tire.

Thats a real small lip on them. Figured the rears would have a larger one then that. However, you can get the RPM's in a 19x9.5 and they would look sick. IMO they fit our cars perfect.

My 19 inch rpm's are 9.5 wide in the rear. They might only make them in 9 inch for 18s though.
