Default Wheel shopping for silver WS6.. RPM R-505? Opinions?

I plan on buying rims in the spring so why not shop around now. I found these RPM r-505 wheels on wheelsnext.com and wonder if anyone else has used them. I want 18's and most likely will go with chrome... I also want the deep dish look with the rear rims and wonder if the staggered 18x8 in the front and 18x9 in the rear will give it that look. Any input is greatly appreciated.

Also, what size tire and offset should i go with? I dont need ridiculously wide tires so maybe just stick with 275s?

If these wheels came in 10" at least...they'd be awesome.

If you like skinny tires sure...anything less than a 275 looks too small for me.

That's great. But I want 315s. I'm not putting those on a 9.5" wheel.

Then state that, you said 275.

I run a 295 on my RPMS on my SS. 19" wheels though.

Don't do chrome, do hyper silver... Chrome would be too much.

You can safely fit a 295 on it and I would recommend it.1200$ shipped to your door ready to bolt on and go.

I have a thread from where I bought mine, my car is pewter though.

I wouldn't do 18's in a mesh wheel, get 19's.
