RPM 505's on a Trans Am After seeing the pictures of the RPM wheels on josh99ta's car, I decided to pull the trigger and get them for the Trans Am that I just picked up. Like Josh, I went with the 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 wheels with 245/35/19 and 275/30/19 Nexen tires. The wheels look great and fit the car very well. I also purchased them from Wheel Studio for $1400 delivered. The only issue I had is that they forgot to include the hubcentric rings, which will be here later this week. Other than that mistake, the service has been outstanding!
After slaving over getting the paint in decent shape this weekend, here is what the car currently looks like. I will be lowering it soon and looking to add a WS-6 hood...that's all, as this is my daily driver. Please excuse the bad photography skills, it is one of my weaknesses!

Wheels look amazing on there. I love them on the vert. I was working on my car today and caught a glimpse of the wheels out of the corner of my eye, and I swear they are very Fikse-esque, for a fraction of the cost. I love the FM10s, some of the best looking F-Body wheels out there IMO, but for the price I love these wheels just as much.

Those look sick. I have owned tons of forged, expensive wheels... and I think if you consider price and looks, those wheels would win. Yea, a nice set of forged wheels with the right design, finish look KILLER, but for the price tag they aren't so killer.
I am buying the same ones for my newish silver TA I just bought. After the headaches I had with my last set of three piece wheels I told myself I wasn't going to do that crap again.
Thanks for making my mind up

I was thinking of buying the new deep dish ZR1's. The silver ones on ebay were $738 plus 250 for shipping. After it's all said and done you have 1000 in a set of 17's. For 1400 these things are a steal.
Their is nothing better than getting wheels and tires dropped off, that are already mounted and balanced.
