Default Better Shots of the RPM 505s on the SS

I had a clean car and an Alabama/LSU game to watch the entire second half of the afternoon, so I had to settle for high noon shots. I just stopped at the first place with some shade that looked like it might halfway work.

Staggered Hypersilver 19x8.5s and 19x9.5s RPM 505 wheels w/ brushed lips

Thanks man. It is lowered. Roughly 1.5" all around (26.5" front ride height, 26.75" rear ride height).

Yeah I may have to polish out the front lips. It makes the wheels look like baller wheels IMO.

There is also a small part of me that wants to do the centers in a flat/satin/matte black and do the lips in a really high gloss black, sort of like some of the 360 Forged shots I've seen. I just don't know if I could bring myself to do it to brand new wheels...maybe save that for a few years down the road when I get bored with this look.

I have to research on what all I need to polish them out. I'm sure just a lot of elbow grease, a good compound, and some sandpaper.

Elbow grease yes. I do have a write up on how to polish exhaust pipes to a mirror finish if that may help.

I thought about getting my center spokes powered in a darker gray. Kind of like the Fr500? rims that the Cobras have. But I would keep the lip the same.

I'm like you though, can't bring myself to do it on a brand new set of rims.

When me and you having a PS?

Those wheels look great on your car.. The only thing I don't like is the tires seem so skinny, what size are they?

Probably a 275, that is the best match for that rim size. You could fit a 295 on them but it would bulge a tad. IMO 275 is perfect for a street car. Gives it that aggressive look but not the "drag car" look.
